LANDR’s Senior Audio Engineer Al Isler loves to talk mixing. So we opened up our P.O. box to the LANDR community and asked you to send Al your most burning mix-related questions.

Today’s question: Is it ever too late to fix headroom issues in a mix when it’s too hot?

From proper audio compression to smart gain staging, watch Al cover the finer points of headroom and how to keep the right levels from start to mastered.
