Master Fader Level

[TERRANCE]

Hello,Im trying to figure out the difference with +6 and +12 fader gain when creating a new sessions.Does that mean if i select +12db,i can go over 0db and up to +12db without clipping?Ive experienced protools before but its been a while.Since then ive been using nuendo.Also what are the best levels to keep the tracks at before clipping during a mix?I noticed in the PT mixer if i turn a channel up all the way the track doesnt clip.In nuendo the track would clip.Is the main thing to look for is to not let the master fader clip?Thanks

the +6 or +12 is how much gain the tracks have.... as far as the master goes you shouldn't move it.. keep it at 0 and mix your tracks to the level needed.. mix everything so it doesn't clip in the master.. avoid using limiters on the master until your mix is finished.. do your fullmix compression in mastering..
