    "I literally almost never touch that volume knob." -Joe Gilder, a man who has literal cobwebs around that volume knob.

    This really helps to “learn” your ears, depth perception and yes your eyes as you go through the process of making adjustments over time. Awesome video with great advice.

    Hey Joe, I just want to say THANK YOU for getting "a bit more technical" on this topic than you usually do. It was SUPER helpful and I was surprised how easy it was on the second listen through. This is a gold nugget I can continue to use and teach to other recording friends. You da man.

    i like to listen to it at different levels, especially almost slient to help me understand what instrument is most present and to see if the bass can be heard clearly. Although, I'm definitely going to try this out. I have never ran into clipping issues but it never hurts to try and standardize everything.

    Great advice! I sorted this problem out a year ago, I have a VU meter just sat on my Master bus with -18VU and then make sure that when the Kick hits it's -3Db and then together with the Bass together, 0Db. Been working for me recently!

    Thank you sooo much! I have been doing sound design for videos recently and instinctively it occurred to me that my mixing levels are not exactly consistent. I searched far and wide about speaker calibration. Most videos I found gave me headaches until I found yours. Easy to understand, great advice and straight to the point.

    Great advice. I started doing this about 10 years ago, and it has made a world of difference! Luckily I had a monitoring system that allowed me to "store" my playback volume knob setting.

    Thank you Joe. This has been great for me to get my mixes to the same volume level before mastering. This will please my mastering engineer!

    Love this Joe. Consistency is a better rule than any rule.

    This actually makes sense. Because different people will have ears with different sensitivity levels too. I did try with the SPL meter with 80 db, but then gradually had to re-adjust the volumes according to my comfort and now my ears are quite trained for that volume level.
