MIXING- What Do you Think?

[wizard]

So just wondering are some still doing staging when mixing or have we become lazy and just throw a limiter on all channels?

I still perform staging even though I use fabfilter and parallel compressions and side chaining.

I found it keeps the dynamic in the over all track, instead of throwing a limiter on it

I use limiter at the end of the chain sometimes and on bus channels sometimes but, I found out it kills the dynamics in the the over all track! So staging for me is key, and when its done properly you wont need a limiter.

So what are most producers doing?

Keep up the good work everyone and enjoy the weekend!

I always do staging and rarely use limiters.

I think limiters just ruin the dynamics! Most producers abuse them and just blast them all the way up lol!!
I love Staging it's fun
