The tracks have been re-voiced to play the Logic VST’s and sampled instruments.

It is a 12 track midi arrangement imported into Logic Pro X.

This also allows enough headroom for us to ‘lift’ the lower volume levels (using compression) to increase the overall loudness without clipping or distortion when Mastering. This target gives us a dynamic range of 12dBFS. To get them to the right baseline levels before mixing, see the paragraphs on Gain Staging. Imported files will not necessarily be at these levels.

The same target levels apply for imported files and projects.

We also don’t want our Master Output channel to exceed -8dBFS PEAK at any point.

If we are recording from scratch, we work to a target level -18 RMS or LUFS level for each track in the song and no more than -8dBFS PEAK on any channel.

How much headroom should I leave for mixing?ĭepending on where our music will be played, and the genre, the final arrangement level after Mastering should be -3 to 0 PEAK with a dynamic range of around 10dB to 16dB.

This will allow us to lift the highs to anywhere between -3dBFS and Zero without clipping and lift the low volumes (by means of slight compression) without loosing too much dynamic range when Mastering. Target output after the mix at -8dBFS PEAK and around 18dBFS RMS or LUFS. Clipping can happen through signal manipulation or just exceeding the speaker/ earphone output specs. Limiter limits the dynamic range, and our arrangement will lose expression if we limit it.Ĭlipping is essentially a signal that has been limited so fiercely that it distorts. We aim for no more than -8dBFS PEAK and around -20LUFS on the final output channel before mastering. So How loud should a mix be before mastering? – In this article, we will explore recording and mixing levels using a PC-based DAW.
