Well, I feel that I still have a lot of room to bring it down. It's not as though I recorded it without any lee-way. It wasn't recorded that hot. I'm just learning the difference between it sounding "loud" in my recording room, and it being too loud. So, I will do it the hard way. I'll remix track-by-track. No Worries, and thanks for your advice.

Just so you guys know, I'm using DP.

Whoa, what a can of worms I've opened! Sorry! Anyway, nothing is in the red. It's just that noisy/busy passages are peaking over 0dbs. None of it is the end of the world, but I want it to be right. Bob Katz's Digital Domain site is great, but it's a little over my head. I'll keep experimenting, but I'd love to hear more opinions. But, yeah...what is a master fader for, then?

Hey Guys! Still getting ready to master my project and I'm making sure the levels are where the ought to be so the mastering process is smooth. So, on my favorite mixes...some tunes are still too hot. Here's a questions for ya: I realize that on analog gear there may be a "sweet-spot" to set the levels at. But I'm working Digital. But, if I have a mix that's too hot can't I just bring down the Master Fader until the levels are acceptable, rather than remixing the whole project intstrument by instrument? Being that I'm working in the digital realm, what would be affected by doing this seemingly insanely easy short-cut? Thanks For Your Time!
