i nowadays mix into my mastering chain and i get competitive levels easily.
the problem with clipping/limiting on my master is that for example
>> i have no audible clipping when the while band plays. GOOD !
>>but when there is only guitars (in a break) oder when the guitar rings out,
somehow gclip AND ozone both make the clipping audible, very nasty sounding... BAD !
so how do you guys manage this stuff ?
i mean we hear clipping guitars on almost all modern releases... and probably 99 % of the people will think its some sort of fx on guitars... but i dont like that..
p.s. : i started automating guitars down (because the mastering chain is pulling the guitars up..) im basically fighting against the mastering chain ;-)
but its not 100 % possible without lowering the volume of the guitars too much...
