damn sho…i need a better mix! putting this L3 limiter didnt do anything…how do u make ya sound that full and strong? do u stack drums and put any instrument in a seperate channel…route channels to several other channels and then into the master…?

please, i dont get it :( 

Here’s my exact steps:

1. Make the beat in Fruity Loops
2. Extract each part as 32 Bit .wav files
3. Open all the parts in Cool Edit, adjust volumes, I usually turn up each part +1 or +2.
4. Mix the beat how I want it, then mix it down as a .wav file, then run it through Waves L2, I set Threshold to -2.0, Out Ceiling to -0.00, Release to 0.10, 24 bit, Type2 Dither, Ultra Shaping.

I always stack drums, layering is the key for drums to make them thick.

That Flo-Rida "Low" remix I put up, I’ve got 4 kicks layered and 9 snares lol, so you gotta layer.

see and i use either l1 or l3 multi and works ok ut i usually drop the threshold to anywhere from -3 to -5 and the ceiling -.02 just to leave room to play
