anyway, thanks. i'm gonna try a tad higher of a high pass. SOS/TOMB forums also suggested that i bring the peak down to -.03 or .05.
although, that leads me to a new question... most commercially distributed, professional records peak clean at 0 dont they? i feel like i see that all the time when loading reference tracks in logic. i shouldnt HAVE to sacrafice my mix peak to solve this. its gotta be a frequency content thing. |
Its not that PT writes better WAVs. PT stereo sums up better then most DAWs out there. They all sound different in quality, stereo image, and how you choose to make the stereo WAV.
There are differences between PT LE and HD, and there are differences between file > bounce to disk and Internal laybacks.
Don't get too excited to own a console. Consoles are overrated and people care more about the quality of your converters, clock, and front end gear.
As far as peaking clean at 0dB. Nobody should be mixing that hot for a ME. Leave some headroom for a ME to work with. Try aiming to mix around -18dB FS on average.
If I were you, because you're on Logic, I would mix down discrete left and right channel WAVs, have him bring up the (insert loudness word of your choice here), and sum it up for you.
Good luck
