About droping volume levels in tracks

[amitzwar]

I wonder how do it :
I talk about when you got clipping - but you got the balance between the tracks , so what you do : drop the volume of each track equally until there isnt any clipping or drop the volume in master mix buss in the mixer ?


Im like to drop the volume in the master mix buss when I get the balance I want .

Am I wrong or something?

Group all your tracks together and bring them down a few dB.

The only potential pitfall to this is that if you have compressors on your aux tracks they won't be getting hit quite as hard, so you'll need to adjust your threshold to compensate for the level change.

The best way to avoid all this is to track and record at lower levels to begin with.

if any track is clipping, pull the faders of every track down (be careful with the aux tracks) If only the master is clipping, then you can bring the master fader down and you should be good
