Hey guys, to make my music i use reason for drums and loops ive purchased. I use acid music studio for the template to put them all on, my question is when i put all my loops/tracks together to make a song it clips obviously with no adjustment.
What i have been doing for a while is just leave everything the way it is on the program and just adjust the tracks to the volume i want whether they are clipping or not.
Then i use sound forge to normalize it to the same volume i use for all my songs, but the fact is they dont sound bad but you can tell they are computer made, what do i do to get the "professional sound"?
Now ive heard that mastering is "way better then normalizing" well what is the defintion of mastering then? Do i go through each track and adjust so it does clip?
