In today’s video, I’m diving into the important topic of pre-fader metering vs. post-fader metering. While I’m demonstrating this in LUNA, the concepts apply to any DAW you’re using!
Understanding what your DAW’s meters are showing you is crucial for maintaining proper levels throughout your mix. It helps you avoid common pitfalls like accidental clipping, which can occur when you’re using the wrong type of metering without realizing it.
In this video, I’ll break down:
- A demonstration of the difference between pre-fader and post-fader meters
- When pre-fader metering is your best option
- When post-fader metering gives you better results
By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of when to use each one to optimize your mix.
