Mixing/Mastering / Question about the decibel read out
« on: January 20, 2016, 09:16:10 am »
I use FL and I've noticed that sometimes the read out on my mixer vs a db meter on the effects chain may be different.
For instance, my kick my read -10db on the mixer, but if I add a db meter at the end of my effects chain it may read -6db, or may even be clipping.
Which one is correct? If it isn't clipping on my mixer does it matter that it clips on the effects chain, or is that a matter of whether or not I feel it sounds good?
