Thanks for the reply. Can you vouch for any of these places? I'm looking for somewhere that gets good results.

Hi everyone, I'm currently looking for a reputable mixing service that is available online. I am willing to pay reasonable rates for the right person, but they must have a proven track record and not be a hobbyist.

I understand this a lot better now thanks for your help !

Ok I have read it again and reading this quote am I understanding this correctly.? "Headroom is the amount of dB before your mix clips and the overload indicator lights up on your master output. If your mix is too loud then simply lower the output fader until the highest peak is within the recommended range. Sound quality will not be affected when you lower the fader. With 24 bits you can go as low as -48 dBFS and still have full CD quality (16 bit). However, once you exceed the digital ceiling, distortion will occur, and it will not be possible to restore the original quality. There is no reason to maximize the volume during mixdown. I will make sure your song reaches its maximum loudness potential later in the mastering process." Does this mean that as long as long as the levels are between -48db and - 3db everything is ok ?

I have read that document, but I still can't quite understand if I'm following what it says and if it applies in context to my individual circumstances.

Hi everyone, I know this forum is mainly aimed at Logic x, however I am still using Logic 9 pro and wondered if you could help me. I am currently recording my bands demo and I have a few concerns about the sound levels in logic. Firstly I think it would be helpful if I gave some information about the project. On the first song: The drums currently play at at around -19db Rhythm Guitars (have been double tracked ) -15 db , bass -10db , Lead guitar -19db (even though it sounds at the right level, despite being "quieter" than the rhythm guitar.) When I recorded the rhythm guitars, I originally recored each section individually, and then mixed them down into one wav file @ 24bit 44100. Everything "sounds right" however the wave files now appear very small despite retaining their loudness. Is this something that I should be concerned about? Secondly, the track overall, averages around -22db - 17db when I play an acoustic guitar, and the electric guitar distorted is around -17 - 12db (when played with other instruments. I can hear the track perfectly fine if i turn the volume up 6/16 bars on my iMac. I have a set of KRK Rokit 6's if this information is helpful at all. I also have been recording with an apogee duet 2 and a peavey 6505 +. None of the sound levels are clipping like they were before I turned everything down and mixed relevant sections i.e each rhythm part into one track. Prior to this, each time I would try and record an overdub , e.g bass it would cause clipping , however it is no longer doing this which is great!. I would like to basically know if what I am doing is correct and whether these kinds of Db levels will be suitable for mastering or are they "too quiet" despite being able to hear them ok. I have basically tried to keep all levels at these kinds of ranges to allow mastering to increase the volume of the overall track. Is this all ok? Sorry for the long post
