Could you explain what you mean by 94db? I always thought it went from negative up to 0db and then it starts clipping anywhere above 0db.

Anyway to the original poster, just use the gain knob before you mix in the track to make sure the volume is even then make sure to work on your EQing a bit. Don't go slamming the new track in without some good EQ cuts or you will hear it coming in loud and clear, but sometimes that's a good effect to use while mixing.

Yeah, i wondered that myself..

I would not want 94 db of sound in my bedroom...

He's not talking about the db level on the EQs or the gain on a mixer he means the maximum db level a song would sound through a club system before clipping.

At least I think thats what he means haha.

ok
if you get this software

http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/


and you analyze the gain of a song, the standard I have found is 94 Db, I don't knwo if that equals 0Db, or 12 Db as I have seen on other places.

with this software I can fix the gain volume that a song is recorded, so if I the original volume that is recorded is at 96 Db, and it's clipping, then no matter how low I play the track, it will always clip, because the original gain of the track it's already set.
now with this software I change the gain volume that the track is recorded, let's say at 94 Db, and it originally won't clip.


this is important for me, because if I am sure that 94 Db is enough and will osund good, then I can set all my recrods at that volume, and the levels will the same or very similar.
now I can not set them at 96 Db, beacuse many tunes will clip at that volume.
Of Ocurse there are some that a 97 Db originally won't clip, but why I would want them to be that louder, instead of being the same volume as all my records, even if it's lower originally, but still more than enough to be played on a club system. Thats what i want to be sure about.

Thanks.

I don't htink its that, beacuse the higher voluem i have seen on a record without clipping is 98 Db, and I am sure that clubs can sound way louder than 98 Db.


Thanks.

first, you need to figure out what you're talking about cause you're confusing the bejeezus out of us

then come back and ask your question

i suggest reading something, anything credible

try google, search for something like decibel

the internet isn't just for downloading porn and talking about music

Sorry , but maybe it's the software I am using that it's confusing me

do you knwo of any other software that will analyze the gain volume that a song is recorded?

Mayeb That Way, I can Analyze with both programs the gain volumes, and talk to you in the way that you understand.

Thanks.
