Hey, not sure where I should post this so here it goes, move it if needed.
I'm starting to DJ with Traktor 2 and 320 mp3 downloaded from Beatport.
I'm still trying to understand the whole gain, normalize, volume and clipping concepts. I guess I get the theory but not sure about the real life practice.
So, most of the tracks I downloaded from Beatport seems to be too loud and clipping. Analyzing them with mp3gain shows that they are like 98db and clipping. Throwing them in Audacity also shows clipping everywhere.
I know this has been asked tons of times but still not sure what to do about it and I thought this won't happen with legal downloaded tracks... (I thought it was an issue of illegal bad mp3 ripping...)
So, what is your advice? Should I worry about those clippings?
Should I normalize everything to a lower value? mp3gain suggests 89db, but I'm guessing this is just too quiet...
By the way, almost every track is Psychedelic/Goa Trance.
