can somebody tell me this because everytime i make a recording they songs always come out different volumes. also how many db's should the beat and the vocals be?
The "obvious"? So when someone asks about a midi-controller, you always talk about sound modues? Because it's "obvious" that without a sound module a midi controller is useless? You can go further and talk about monitors because it's "obvious" that you can't hear the sound module without monitors? You also go along and talk about room treatment because it's "obvious" that without the proper room treatment monitors are useless? And all that because someone asked about a midi controller?Disasster said:No ones talking about mixing? well i hate to point out the obvious, but without a mix theres nothing to master, and without a PROPER mix, mastering wont turn out so great, so thats why "Optyx" brought mixing into the picture.

rocsta said:At the same time no one in here ever said that you can get a good mastering without a good mix. So I really don't know what you guys are reading.(?) Those are things that are logical to everyone. You don't build a house without the proper foundation, so why would you master without the proper mix? Why are you even mentioning those things, when all the guy was asking how he could get the same volume levels on all his songs, so that the listener does not need to level the volume fader on every song on the ablum? Does that even make sense to you?
GruKid said:After reading this thread I have a few questions. I primarily make beats as a hobby, but I still want a good sounding finished piece of music. When making beats I usually dont pay much attention to the levels and just turn things up or down depending on how they sound.
I guess my question is reguarding headroom. In flstudio I just make sure the levels arent peaking for the most part. Does this mean after I make my music and get all the sounds how I like them, I should turn them all down in proportion on the master?
Also I had a question about "rolling off" sounds. Would this be just using an equalizer or filter to remove unwanted frequencies on things?
Can someone also explain the relation between dB and volume? For example if I turn down the volume does that automatically mean theres less dBs?
Thanks in advance, Brandon.
GruKid said:Dissaster, thanks for the extensive reply.
So to make sure I understand correctly I will use the meter to make sure the levels are below the -6dbFS. In the event that I couldn't hear my tracks and mix, I would simply turn up the knob PHYSICALLY on my monitors with out effecting the db metering level (or just have them preset to the correct volume).
