So I'm trying to mix my first big boy song, and I'm using a few different reference tracks to help me.
I'm trying to level match my drums, but even dropping the reference track down 10dB, I have to make my drums loud as fuck and my master is up to 0dB.. I'm already using some compression, and even parallel compression. I can't just limit/compress squash the life out of everything.
Wtf is going on here? I'm aiming for -6dB to -3dB.. how do I use reference tracks to accurately get there?
