This is probably a really basic question, but I've been wondering about it as I'm working on improving my mixdowns
If you have, for example, three different snares on sepeate audio tracks sent to one bus, although each seperate track does not clip, the bus does, because of the three tracks being mixed together
If you just turn the bus volume down, so it doesn't clip on the meter, will this just being turning down the clipped signal, or will the signal just use the extra headroom.
I'm using ableton, not that this makes any difference to the theory.
Cheers
