    Cool tip! Quick question tho! When gainstaging before mix/master.. do u aim for 0 db in the master and then just lower each channel or channel groups with your utility gain to hit -6isch db in the master or is there another way for this? I usually make a premaster. Smack a utility on there with +6 db, aim for 0db in the master and then before mixdown i just remove it and land on -6db in the master. Is there any negatives with this way of working and do u have any good input for me? 😄

    • @LaekMusic
