Limiters are employed mostly for a single purpose: to limit the output of a signal in a way that prevents undesirable distortion and excessive peaks while, when used correctly, preserving the overall balance and color of a mix. This reduces the dynamic range of a...
Mastering is the final step in the audio production process. It’s the time when the tracks get finalized and prepared for distribution. Mastering engineers, who have access to top quality gear, and are trained for this specific task, are the best choice, and our...
Dynamic processing like the one achieved by compressors, gates, expanders, and limiters is what we’ll discuss in our next tutorial. We’ll focus specifically on the limiter’s action, as it virtually prevents any sound from exceeding a certain volume...
What is Stem? In audio production, a stem is a group of audio sources mixed together. A single stem might exist in mono, stereo, or in multiple tracks for surround sound. In sound mixing for film, the preparation of stems is a common strategy to...
