Hello there, welcome to this video! I will explain you how to improve sound
quality in

Very important in audio production is improving the output sound once a project
is finished. You may have bad peaks, saturation, or bass channels that are too
much overlapped by others. So you will need to

In this case, since you have saturation from the start, just put a lower ceiling, and
