You need to keep in mind that the level of your master is going to reflect the sum of the tracks feeding it. You need to give yourself headroom on your individual tracks so that the bus won't reach above 0.

Hi all. I'm not understanding something. I made a recording and when I playback all the tracks are beneath the clipping level of minus 0.01. all the tracks outputs go to a master buss. But when I check that buss's playbacklevel it goes up to 3.0. does that mean there's clipping? If this is a sillyquestion please forgive Kind regards Len Viljoen Gospel Singer Email1: len@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Email2: g-boy@xxxxxxxxxx Tel: 023 3470022 Mobile: 082 3954286 Fax: 023 3470022 Skype: lenviljoen Windows Live: gospelboy07@xxxxxxxxxxx PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
