do you clip?

[eyeswithoutaface]

well depends what you want in that case, i personally keep my final mix out of the red for obvious reasons, but if i were doing schranz or death core i'd probably be pushing the reds on final mix down. Obviously whoever's cutting the record might have something to say about it, they might not, depends what their being paid to do i guess.

i think it all depends on the final sound you want to achieve really

haha deathcore :P

but i agree with scott, you wanna keep your tracks out of the red, so an engineer can master the tracks properly and give him room to work with......in the end they will be the ones maximizing ur tracks to optimum level

i've always done 2 final mixes. one for myself to play out that sits around -1/0 (but will probably jump into the red the odd time) and one for someone else to master which i'll try sit at -6/-4.
