I would 1. Recommend clipping in stages (clipping the drum group or bass group) as opposed to clipping the master. Clipping adds distortion and clipping off 3-4db (or even 6-7-10db) off one group will sound a lot cleaner than clipping all of your tracks that sum together and 2. I’d recommend normalizing your tracks to remove all the headroom while still keeping your signal clean and distortion free (not everything needs to be clipped) baphometrix has a good tutorial series on clipping called the clip to zero (CTZ) method, I’d check it out

Insanely great effing info here!

I have a weird question, and it may not be in your genre. But if you know INZO: Is he also doing this in his mixes, do you think?
Everything just sounds so damn big in his mixes! The fullness just blows my mind.

super awesome vid man, subbed! So if i get this correctly you push out all drums via transient shaping to get them super punchy/to squeeze out the volume and then the g clip on the master cuts the peaks so they don't clip. Do you think that going for transient shaping into a clipper for each individual element or drum bus lets say is a good idea? To boost it and then cut the peaks? Also so you firstly push out your drums/sub to a proper level and then match the main synth/bass to them.... awesome and one final thing... if listening to a track on mono lets say on my iphone and i have this side information from the background fx... on mono the sides should be barely hearable if not at all right? also i heard that a lot of bigger venues systems are mono...so how do you achieve width of a track if the system is mono.

Do you ever watched Ahee's tutorials? He's doing pretty exactly the same thing as you do it

[zaiah]

If you’re on a Mac how did you get your g clip on there?
