What is the reason behind adding 3db of gain into last limiter and seeing 3db of gain reduction when mastering?
I learned a lot from the Intro to Mastering event, but one of the things Caleb was talking about was adding 3db of gain into your last limited and seeing 3db of gain reduction. What is the reason behind this? What does it mean if I add 3db of gain and I’m seeing more than 3db of gain reduction/how would I fix that? Less than 3db of gain reduction he said was fine. Just curious on what is the reason behind this and if it is going slightly over 3db what I would need to do to fix it if that’s a bad thing.
