So not entirely music related, but my don’t-use-reddit policy and this looking like the closest not entirely dead community has led me to post sooo…

I have an audio question about recording levels. I’m doing voice-over stuff for some really bad Youtube videos I’d like to make and it never sounds remotely good.

I get that the recording volume should be just the green side of clipping, but how do you take a track, and then add it to other tracks and balance the whole thing to not sound like ass?

It always seems that it’s either too loud or too quiet and I’m baffled as to how to tweak the mix correctly so that things sound right.

    Sounds like you need ducking. Side chain compression on the audio tracks keyed to your voiceover track.
