"Knowing your tools allows you to break the rules" never heard anything truer than this.

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

this guy does not blink

This video is a brilliant reflection of the things I've naturally perceived and learned and states them so simply and does so much to give you control with again, such simple tools. Perfect video.

As always...we hope this helps!! -Zack & Moose š«

clipper into limiter is the holy grail of loudness.
-
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.
-
Itās the upper midrange. Thatās the āloudnessā between those tracks. Also, obviously, the headroom thatās killed in the second track by the aggressive low end.

mannnnnnnnnn your videos are the first videos i see on youtube that make me understand something (i watched a loooooooooooot of videos)
-
You have no idea how much this vid has helped me haha. Thanks so much for existing!
-
Transparently clipping my instruments and synths + balancing the mix changed everything for meā¦ you can push everything into the limiter more and get more out of your mixā¦. The problem is you will lose dynamics and there is a sweet balance to be had.

Aside from everything that this video provided, 9:55 was the best explanation of compression that iĀ“ve ever heard. Wish IĀ“d hear this 5 years ago while I was trying to wrap my mind around compression. Anyone who is just starting out, pay attention! <3

THIS VIDEO SAVES LIVES

The section about adjusting volume balance to go in the direction of the reference (rather than using match eq) is one of the most important ātipsā in this video. So many problems in a mix stem from simple, improper volume balance. Well done on this video!
-
this channel is amazing in so many aspects

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.

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 video!

Looks like i found here how to also fix my night sweats and nightmares. Especialy if i compare my mix to pro mix minutes before bed on my headphones. Not going to lie i wished all the bad things for them producers for killing my passionš . Thank you sir. Hats down.

I didn't realize the distinct volume difference between genres. Thanks!
