"This is Kyle with Expert Village and I'm going to be talking about some tips for Sony acid pro. Again we've covered a lot here and just a little bit at a time and basically I just wanted to make sure they're able to make music. So keep your eyes on the master and right here the red blocks come on, on the output meter, so you click them off and you got to figure out what was it that made it pink. Now in this case we know what it was right here it was on 12DB, it shouldn't of been, let's bring it down to like .2, let's see if it sounds right. (playing) It still peaked a little bit so that means we need to bring it down just a tab bit more, now that's very important when it comes to musical hits, if you really don't know a lot about music editing you always keep your eyes on this master. You can not have it peak if it ever peaked one time in your song it's just going to sound bad, when you get to the final recording so always keep your eyes on those meters. And that's where you're going to use those mixing which is right click, envelope, volume you'll always use that all the time, and then this is your master track volume. So if the track is to loud you can save your volume by just pulling it down right here."
