How do Amber Lamps?
oh ok, so you mix down just the mix (which would be pretty quiet) do you have a typical set volume that that is at before you master it?
I eyeball it, when I look at the meter I keep it in the green. Hard snare hits and bassdrops can touch the bottom part of the yellow but I tend to keep it lower than that these days.
No need to make it super loud in the mixes stages when I am just going to crank it in mastering.
