Dr Dre had some of the loudest mix/masters on 2001, that to this day can be used as references. The key? minimal elements so that everything has it's place. Less elements means a clearer mix, and you can smash it into a limiter more without noticing mushy build up

100% Scott!! Less elements means more room and value from each layer. Modern bass music is such a good example of this. The -2 or -3 dubstep songs are usually just kick, snare, synth. That’s it!

I actually think a lot of people nowadays over-complicate things and should err on the side of minimalism for this reason. Even in "over-produced" genres like dubstep that Cosmic brought up, many of the top producers dedicate time specifically to crafting bass sounds, bass loops, and so on that they then eventually use (or recycle) in a track. So even though a bass pattern might actually be several elements layered together, it functions as one in the mix.

It’s not less elements per say. It’s making each element is the right size so it all fits neatly and doesn’t offend your compression and limiting. It’s getting each group compressed, clipped, and or limited loudly and maintaining the integrity of each of those elements before hitting the mix bus then you’re golden. -3 is still insanely loud though. Especially if you’re trying to get it clear. If anything having more elements helps you achieve that because you’re trying to fill up all this space in the frequency spectrum, you’re just trying to do it evenly.

@@awaken_098 the philosophy is to remove the peaks in a way that is transparent before limiting. with clipping, the loudest peaks of the waveform are chopped off, which if done subtly can remove a few db while preserving the tone (aka being transparent) and retaining the punch. this way when you go to limit, the limiter isn't squahing the mix as much, because it doesn't have to clamp down so hard due to making those peaks quieter with the clipper. I tend to take this further in my own mixes, subtle saturation, clipper, then limiter. 11:37

@@awaken_098 generally you use clippers on drums, or any sound that has a very fast loud transient. I like to consecutive small clippers throughout the mix, which makes it sound more natural than just slapping on 6db clipper on the master. So I might remove 1, 1.5 db from each individual drum channel, (usually the snare and the kick or the only ones that need it. then on the whole drum bus, use a clipper to clip another 1 or 2 db, then at the master stage clip another db off the whole song if the peaks are still very large. If you're song is electronic, you can get away with clipping more db at each stage without any noticeable distortion. Also I should mention using a soft clipper will give the best results if you want to be able to clip with less distortion. Hard clippers distort faster.

For references from spotify, I turn off spotify's normalization feature. I just went to my spotify settings, scrolled down until I saw "Normalize Volume" and I turned it off. Then I used an appplication called "Caster" by Ginger audio to route spotify into Logic Pro, and play any song I want to analyze with a loudness meter and SPAN open. Quite a revelation.

Thanks for the cool trick! Do you know if there is a way of "previewing" your song on Spotify to see how loud it will sound once it's released? I thought it would be as simple as going to Spotify and play my local files (those on my laptop/mobile), find my song and voilà, but l was told Spotify doesn't normalise your local files.

​@@Lance_G I've been writing for 15 years and don't know what a mix bus is. It's nice to just use compression directly on the kick and bass channels individually, and avoid using compressors on the master. You have more control if you use a maximiser on each sound as required, rather then slapping it over the entire mix. I've never separated a full mix into bands like low mid high, but IDK maybe it's a genre thing.

I make Deep Minimal DnB - So it's important to note that it will also differ depending on your subgenre. Dubstep as a whole can reach -3 LUFS, true, but Deep Dubstep is more like -5 to -8 LUFS. Brostep can reach up to -2. Same for DnB. Neurofunk and modern Jump up can reach up to -3 LUFS. Bristol Tech (DLR, Break, Molecular, Zero T, Submotive, Workforce etc.) tends to reach about -5.3 LUFS. Contrast that to pure Minimal DnB, QZB's tracks are at about -8 LUFS. Worth taking into account imo.

Saturators for the win! Adding harmonics balances the fundamental to the rest of the spectrum, without changing the sound in an unpleasent way. Also it becomes more easy to not f'up eq-ing ( :D ). Transformers, tubes, tape emulations - you name it. Hard hitting drums without ice picky / harsh high mids, almost silky, airy top end ... that's what saturation does :) That Ozone 4-band exciter or fabFilter's Saturn come in very handy, even to just check which bus could benefit from what type of saturation and then apply some individually.

Tip; Your music doesn't need to be clean, it just needs to be 'clean enough'. Just with sidechaining everything, good eq habits and smart panning you can get a professional enough sounding song. Distortion is often something that actually contributes to the power of a song as long as everything has its spot. Don't be afraid of a little distortion. Have often reached -2 LUFS using this method

Interesting Topic. But it raises a question. If I go over 0db with the limiter, and it sounds loud and clear on my stereo monitors, isn't there a chance that on other devices it could sound like shit, because of true peaks? I had this problem once, that my Master sounded great in my DAW even with going over 0db no noticable distortion, and on my blutooth speaker it was totally crap, cause of heavy distortion. On other headphones and speakers it was okay again.

This answered so many questions I couldn’t find answered anywhere else. One question I still have is, do people reduced their tracks to -14 LUFS "before" uploading to streaming services, or let the services normalise it, or is consensus that it doesn’t matter?

It’s possible if one designs the track loud all the way from scratch start. It’s impossible taking an expensive dance pop song from the charts trying to remaster it loud as fuck; it won’t work.

Hahaha I appreciate it. I laughed because that’s how I feel myself when reading these titles. The KZbin game to get viewers is brutal, it’s like “how do I package very useful info into a click baity title”. I’m just stuck here playing the game 😂 happy you clicked and happy it could help 👊♥️

I never try to go past -7.5 or -8 LUFS. It gets too harsh the farther you push it. In my opinion, you get a lot of loudness out of properly ducking the bass under the kick. If those two powerful instruments are hitting together, it's going to limit the loudness you can achieve. I always soft clip the master.

Fun/funny video he did make! But unfortunately he might have not won, he made a reply on that via a KZbin Short that showed a video made a decade ago reaching 3.5 LUFS if I recall

That explains the metal trick with 2 tracks of a guitar; 1 on each speaker with some difference in how the amp chain is set up. I found out about this from Glenn Fricker There's some nice tricks in this video

As soon as you understand soft clipping and train your ears to start with good sounds it's a lot easier
