I went over the Protools mix guy's studio yesterday to hear the mixes of the
project that I played on. He mentioned again that I was cutting too hot.
We got into a friendly disagreement about the subject. He said he would always
gain down the track (basically rendering it and doing a gain reduction) if
it was that hot because the plugs wouldn't have any headroom to work. (I
noticed he was using UAD stuff)I asked about inserting a plug with more headroom
before the offending plug to adjust level that way, and he was pretty opinionated
that that would affect the sonic quality in a bad way. He's a good guy, so
in the interest of not wasting the artist's time who invited me, I just let
it drop. The mixes sounded pretty good though. Although very low in level.
He's hip to the summing buss in protools choking if you push it too hard.
It will just have to be made up in mastering. Opinions???
