Press start to begin
Click "Start audio" above to begin the loop. Then drag each knob and watch how the level travels through the chain.
Goal: the synth source peaks around −18 dBFS, the bass around −15 dBFS — both clean tracking levels. Use the two channel faders to balance them against each other (synth usually a touch louder than bass in a mix), then set the master so the output max lands around −6 dBFS. Both channels in the green zone · master peak in the gold · output max around −6. Anything in the red at any stage means clipping in your DAW.
