peak level

I'm just mixing down an audio track for a youtube video. What is the maximum db level for each L and R side of the file when normalizing it? It seems that with a mono track you can normalize a higher db.

I've read that the difference between the RMS level or average volume level and the peaks in an audio track is a good determination of the amount of dynamics in the track. According to which kind of project your working on and what it will be used for, I realize that these may differ.

Hello



I'm working on some Cubase sx projects that have recently rise to an high number of audio tracks, all in 48 Khz/32 bit float.



In the last recording sessions I had an annoying problem: when I press the playback button the audio at some point drops for returning few seconds later.

Hi,



I have several old tracks that have the odd clipped peak. I was wondering on recommendations for 'fixing' these. I realise that these are somewhat limited in scope, but in my case these are tracks that are fine except for 3-4 unsightly overs.

Hi all..

can someone briefly explain the difference between peak and rms compression and its applications



thank you

Could someone correct any of my thinking here, and answer my questions also? Please read carefully and make sure you

understand the question before responding. If I am not making myself clear, I can make a 5 minute video and post it on YouTube and post a link to the video with me demonstrating and asking the question.



When Mastering:

When compressing vocals(only vocals, seperate from beat/instrumental):

Using a plugin that supports the option of compressing using RMS or Peak;

For instance PSP's MasterComp

When would you use Peak, as opposed to RMS, and vise versa?

Hi,

I hope you can take a few min to help clarify this for me. I am new to recording and am trying my best to learn. I am recording into a digi002r/ada8000 using Pro Tools in my DAW. I have the snare, BD, sm tom, Med Tom, Fl tom, lt overhead, rt overhead miced. I have recorded the drums separately from the guitars bass and vocal tracks which were recorded through a GT Brick pre.

Just for fun I downloaded trial versions of both peak & t-racks, and was amazed how much fun I had. I also learned a lot about how to prepare for pro mastering etc.

IK and Bias had both of these on sale and I purchased them. The T-racks is the analog modeled mastering plugin .
