I was wondering how hard you guys hit the Mix Buss on Mixes? I know that most of us realize the magic that happens when nailing the meters on an old E or G series....but how much is too much?
I tend to mix a lot of Rock, gtrs and drums, and find the sweet spot when the 2 buss meters are barely backing off of the "pegged" positions. In between the Kick and Sn, the 2 buss VU meters will slightly bump backwards. Sometimes, depending on the song, I think that might be a touch hard, but other times, I think that adds a little magic.
What do you guys do for rock mixes?
Thanks,
JJ
