-I am a very happy DP-24 owner & I’m amazed at what it does for the $500 I spent on it. However, learning how to use it is definitely a big “Learning Curve”.
-To save time I usually do my “Mixdowns” on Track 23-24. I then go to “Mixdown” mode where I think the levels are peaking around minus 3-6 dB & with no “Red” showing up in the meters. I then go into “Mastering” mode & I play around with the “Mastering Presets”, set the gain so the meters are reading what I think is minus 3-6 dB & no “Red” again. I then press Record & evaluate. The Levels are good & no “Red”.
-I then press “Normalize” & when I look at the meters afterwards there are always 2 to 4 spots where the master is then in the “Red” for a second.
--I am not a proponent of the “Loudness War” but I’d like a decent respectable level for my masters.
-Is the “normalization” clipping my masters?
-Is there anyone else who has experienced this?
-Any recommendations?
-Many Thanks!
