| Tracking levels?
With all the discussion about digital levels and whether lowering the fader actually lowers the bit rate sent to the master buss, let's take a drum kit for example....
how many people would track the levels to sort of pre-mix the drum kit? Like you might not have the overhead and room pres so hot, so with the faders at 0dB in the computer or even on a console, you have a pretty good rough balance of the drum kit. So come mixdown, not many extreme volume adjustments need to be made.
I guess for those who are looking for a certain sweet spot on a pre, might be totally against this thinking as the level you're looking for might be far off from a balanced level in the mix.
any thoughts?
