I do this 100% of the time. Even while tracking my DI's or recording/programing any track. I was doing it before I knew what it was called. At the bare minimum I like to record and or mix into a limiter just to boost the level a bit.
I love top down sometimes but one thing i would NEVER advise to do is to mix into a limiter. The same with mixing into a multi band compressor. Save those two for the end but most anything else is nice to use when doing top down method.
Interesting, I find this approach only works for me when the tracks sound 80-90% there on arrival, like a well produced edm track for example. On all other occasions I just kept regretting it, took off everything and started from the ground up. I find that's what gets me where I want to go if the tracks need some serious digging.
Cool to hear some echos, and your personal tastes. Admittingly finding the sweet spot of the limiter at the end of a production is the longest song and dance. I'll have to give your way a try! Like everything in engineering, you'll get mixed opinions on things. I try to avoid "always" and "never"
it'd be cool to see slideshows, video previews or even just pictures of the plugins you're mentioning and the specific features pop up on screen for a more visual watching experience!
How would you try and get headroom when you have a bassy two track beat for hip hop, from two track without you sacrificing the volume when clip gaining the original beat? cause i use a VU meter on mixbus to -1.5db but still clips overboard
thank you for sharing what's on your mixbus. very insightful... cheers!
No prob. Glad you liked it

It’s such a great process right?!
@@TyDanelley1 yes, I love to work this way when recording and mixing.

Yeah fair enough. What ever gets the job done!
