Soft recording
Am working on remixing some old stuff a friend did a long while back. Biggest challenge is that he recorded so quietly on most things. Now I can gain things up, use comp or limiter or whatever. Noise not withstanding, my real question is about my sum mix back from my analog summing. The stems are super quiet and therefore my 2bus feed coming back into pro tools is also very quiet. So....would you raise levels on the stems before summing or just bring things up a bit on the 2bus once the signal has been summed? Feels to me that any color I'm getting from the analog summing isn't really happening cause there's no level there. Am I wrong?
