Where to put limiter in 4 track chain?
Hi guys, it’s a noob question but oh well..
I plan a hardware sampler (stereo out)
and beatmachine (stereo out) into 4track.
I would love a heavy juicy beats with emhasis on bass and lower mids.
I would use a 4track mixer eq
My question is, where to put limiter in chain, to:
I want to use limiter, get 0db, no distortion but good loudness and record it all to tape (I mean processed by mixer beats and then put through limiter) How to achieve that?
Is the only way to put it before recorder? So I would need 4track out into limiter and then to stereo tape recorder?
Comments
If you can insert an effect on the master bus - do it there. Or do it between your 4 track and the tape your recording to. My assumption is that this all being done on hardware and not inside a computer?
Yes, I would like to do it all in hardware
Hmm, thanks. I will need to look closer to add before buying any 4track (to check if it has a send on master bus)
@Mountain_Hamlet
actually I think I could go with 4track mixer, limiter, then stereo tape recorder
Too bad nowadays most 4track mixers are for dj’s 😅
The mixer, limiter, tape recorder would be the way to go.
Inserts are different to sends.
An insert is like extending the circuit so it behaves like the mixer - limiter - tape recorder idea, but does it before leaving the mixer.
A send is a seperate circuit that keeps the original channel intact and does it stuff separately which then will blend back in with the original track at some point in the mixing process. (I think there is a better way to explain it, but that’s the basics).
