its dynamic characteristics remain untouched.) This favours a more dynamic
sounding mix at the expense of sounding less loud.

Choice 3 – Use TRUE PEAK AUTO COMP mode

Enable

AUTO COMP in True Peak mode. Enable dithering with noise shaping (if

needed), and replay your mix to confirm there are no clips. This will reduce the
output gain automatically with a fast time constant whenever the output level
breaches the 0dB max. This potentially produces the loudest sounding mix because
you do not need to reduce the general signal level to remove the clips. It will sound
the most compressed too.

Choice 4 – Hard Clip

If you need to enable dithering anyway, and the overs are only very small, you may
find that clipping the tips of the transients during the dithering process sounds
better than the other choices.

You are now ready to burn to CD or output to a DAC.
