Why Your Tracks Are Not Loud

[@smonomono4194]

You could also use reference tracks at loud and quiet levels to make sure your tracks hold up.

Thanks, this make a lot of sense now... will check to see if you have a mixing video

[@Sekhmet1Songstress]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! This is exactly what my track looks like, lots of troughs and peaks. Tried everything, it won't come out right after master. Will go back and find the culprit tracks now... 👍🏼

[@beattweaks]

Perfect let me know how it goes.

[@ShamaiRogers]

thank you

[@beattweaks]

No problem!

[@marcocaipo9144]

Okay now how do we fix that

[@beattweaks]

You would use a clipper or saturator to tame those peaks before hitting a limiter. You just have to be careful not to add unwanted distortion, especially if you're doing this in mastering.

Oh, cool you still live :D

[@beattweaks]

haha yup still here

[@marcusdefgomes]

That was a good video

[@beattweaks]

Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if there are any topics that give you trouble and maybe I'll make some more videos about them.

What about after exporting, why is the track so low and not as loud as in the mix session?

[@Alsexaren]

Do you have the normalize option on? If so disable it

[@jakayboy]

What is the exact balance then? Kicks snares vs rest of the mix

[@beattweaks]

When you're first balancing your sounds, try and just do it by ear. Make sure nothing is noticeably louder than anything else, you should be able to hear everything clearly. Then when checking the spectrum analyzer, check to see the high frequencies are not much higher than the lowe frequencies. If you've done both of those steps, but still find that your limiter can't get to the loudness you want, then you have some big peaks you need to take care of in your mix, usually form the drums or other percussive sounds.

💥💯

[@xaocxaocxaoc]

i've another "problem" , my tracks are much louder than most of the tracks and they sound "better" but i don't want to make music anymore

[@xaocxaocxaoc]

I'm sick of noise .

[@xaocxaocxaoc]

and instead of excessive limiting or brutal compression, you can just try multiband saturation and manual peak volume controlling

[@xaocxaocxaoc]

you can also try to add some harmonics with harmonic exciters.

[@xaocxaocxaoc]

and finally , you can use some multiband clipping and a single band clipper over it , touching no limiting at all , only for true peaks at 0dbfs in the end of a chain

[@xaocxaocxaoc]

and make sure that true peak limiter is not from Pro L , because it's TP module sounds like crap, instead try Izotope TP limiting.

[@Habeat024]

😑😑 u talk 11 minutes blaaaa blaaa without answer the question aaaaaah

[@beattweaks]

The entire video is literally the answer. You could also just ask me a question normally, and I would be more than happy to answer and help.

[@vuklovi2287]

like what is your problem? is your brain fried from all those tiktoks that your attention span is non existant to watch this video?
