Howdy,
I have just mixed a song and have a question or two.
I have my output fader at -8.0 so the signal stays at the desired -3.0 to -6.0 db for mastering. Obviously when I put it into a playlist
in itunes to compare them to other mixes the song is at a really low level against the other mastered tracks (Beck, Stones,Beach Boys, Eminem) I used for the comparison.
My questions are, is the -8.0 output level to low, and how much will mastering help it compete against the other tracks I use for the comparison?
Thanks for your help.
Snow.
