You will have a skewed idea of your dynamics, and musicality can easily be lost. Rely solely on compression, EQ, and a your other bag of tools on a track by track basis to get things working nicely.If you limit while you mix, you will end up fighting with the limiter. Give yourself the вЂњruleвЂќ that you will never put a limiter on your master fader while you are still mixing and you will go far. This can and should be done without limiting on your mix bus. Rather it should be on making your mix musical and punchy. When you are mixing tracks, your focus shouldnвЂ™t be on making your mix loud.

So if (like me) you tend to master your own material, still take the limiter off, bounce out final mixes (in 24 bit) and then bring those into a mastering session. Why? Because limiting is really intended for the mastering phase and your mastering engineer can do nothing with a mix that is squashed to kingdom come.I hear your issue already, вЂњBut what if IвЂ™m the one mastering my own music? Why not limit the mix right then and there on the mix bus and call it a day?вЂќ Great question! Like I said, limiting should really be saved for the mastering phase. When it is time to get your mixes ready for mastering, take the limiter off. And really this is only for bouncing down a mix reference for you or the client, allowing your mixes to be as loud as commercial releases so you can really compare how they sound out in the real world.

With вЂclassicalвЂ™ music transparency is the primary objective and there is a spectrum which spans from this approach to the all-out multiband monster required for styles like punk rock or hip-hop. If a style has an inherantly delicate characteristic it would make no sense at all the squeeze space out of the mix. Different styles, applications and personal taste play a big part in choices made. So experiment, learn what works, and stick to it!I feel the decision whether to mix though eq and dynamics controllers has to be made case by case. If you use them where they belong you will do just fine. If you over limit and go trigger happy you will end up with flat, un-musical mix what no one will like listening too.

Why make more work than needed?Just remember when mixing to leave between 4~6 db of headroom, and donвЂ™t add the limiter and/or compressor until your mix is finished, otherwise you end up battling with the 2 during the mixing process рџ‰I am currently going through the production process from recording a friendвЂ™s band live to final master for duplication.My goal is to have consistency in the sound so the finished cd sounds like a seamless show (IвЂ™m cross fading crowd noise to combine tracks from different parts of the show), and luckily, recording live certainly gives me 8 tracks (I used a Roland VS2400CD without the added 8-track expander, so I had 8 simultaneous recording tracks available for recording) that are very consistent in the recording вЂ“ levels you name it. Leaving it to the mastering lab leads to a polite compromise which is fine if you require вЂpoliteвЂ™.Mixing though VCAвЂ™s tends to take years of practice before it starts to sound right but the skills are definitely worth aquiring.Its never straight forward when it comes to вЂњshould i use it or notвЂќIf you plan on getting your mix mastered professionally then do not use a limiter or compressor on the master channel.Leave between 4~6 db headroom for the mastering process, this way a limiter will not be needed.If you plan on mastering your own mix then why the hell not add a limiter, its common practice to, but how its used is the vital difference between a good master and a poor master.Pushing the levels too hard will cause mayor pumping effects between the quieter and louder parts, the dynamic range will get a battering and it will sound just wrong.The limiter, for mastering, should be used lightly or invisibly, just enough to control the peaks no more then 2~3db ideally with fast attack and release times.Try also adding a compressor before the limiter, this will help reduce the severity of the low and high peaks and reduce the flat sound and unwanted pumping.Equal care should be taken again when using a compressor.Too much and you risk loosing your dynamic range and feeling.Experiment with attack and release times to keep a good feel, and keep the ratio above 2.1.Personally i donвЂ™t see the point in mixing down and then starting a mastering session when, depending on your DAW, you can do it all from there.

The success of limiting has a lot to do with the attention to the details of all the steps prior to that last step in the process. Just to make it cd level loud, thatвЂ™s it.The advice to get your mixes down to two track at the highest level without distortion is a very good one вЂ“ if you limit a source that is too low, it makes everything louder, yes, but if you are overcompressing, raising the noise floor too much, limiting just makes all that louder too.So use it carefully, and hopefully, if you have a good loud mix and have used compression, EG and ambience/master effects well (there is no technology substitute for a good ear), you only need to use it to get the loudness of the final product to the finish line.
