I'm pretty new to the mixing world. I use fl studio. I think the meter to the right of fl's mixer is the peak meter , and I guess when people say your highest kick should be ___ or ____,they refer to that meter. I finished a dynamic processor series from lynda.com and have seen a little bit of their eq and filter series. Besides those two things , I have no clue about other mixing techniques or even where to learn. Also , what's the difference between db and dbfs? I've been given links but I was just confused while reading them. Except one that said db only measures the difference between two sounds and it's not right to say that, 'a rock concerts average db is ___ db'. and dbfs is decibels in relation to 0 db(i guess the maximum db a system can handle before clipping). Not sure if that was accurate, but would really like an explanation.
