i’ll help with this question as Frits is away until Thursday…
Yes, it doesn’t matter if any audio channels are in the red as long as the master isn’t 🙂 This is because Podium’s mixing engine runs at 32bit, allowing “room” for it the overload internally
Just a quick question, does it matter if any audio channle is in the red as long as the master is’nt
As long as the ‘red’ channels are routed straight to a higher mixing point, then they can be gain reduced there. If the overloaded audio is routed through plugins on its way to the master, then the plugin processing may suffer from the overloaded audio input.
Nice one guys. So would you recomend letting the audio go into red to get better sound qaulity ( I heard that the more of the meter you use the more bits you use and so the more resolution you have ❓ ) or would this compromise sound qaulity ❓ .
I heard that the more of the meter you use the more bits you use and so the more resolution you have
This applies only to fixed point mixing. Podium uses floating point mixing. I recommend you try to avoid any ‘red’ meters. The red color is meant as a warning signal that overload may occur in the mix.
