Help with peaking

[Sergeman]

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a final mix for a new song and I had a question. In my master fader there's constant peaking. What can I do so that there's no dicernible change on the song's levels themselves... can I add a limiter? Or what about the master fader itself? At what volume is it supposed to be? Does it have to be at 0.0? Or can it be lower?

Thanks for any help!

yes you should be ussing limiting to avoid cliping

and the master fader sounld be at 0 db

my advice is to use this two in this order

waves linear phase eq
waves L3 multimaximizer

good luck!

Never drive it into the red; there is no soft clipping in digital. The "pocket" in a digital signal is cooler than in analog; although a little bit of peaking may be inaudible, it's best to never see red at all.
