I keep in mind that the editor, if he wants to thump a non thumpy track, he can, while the reverse is not possible! I do play around though at the final stage and listen to the track when I seriously push the limiter, just to check if it would not sound too awful… just in case…Īctually sometimes I wonder if I should skip or seriously reduce the limiting, as it makes the sound of the music more flexible for the editor to change. When I need more dynamics (more orchestral, hybrid, rock etc…), I will be happy at -11 / -12 LUFS and can go as low as -18 / -20 for the calm sections or breaks. I might even have bumps at -6 when serious dynamic squashing is part of the artistic approach. Electro Techno, I aim at around -9,-10, with peaks at -8, it goes with the sound. The approximate value I set depends on the style of music. As a result, the RMS level will generally show how loud. This is why we measure the RMS (root mean square) level, which measures the average loudness over a window of about 300 milliseconds. Level meter with peak and RMS display as well as loudness metering according to ITU-R BS.1770-1, ITU-R BS.1770-2, ITU-R BS.1770-3 and EBU R128. As I emerged from the electro world, I use LUFS (averaged on 3 seconds) to assess the loudness. However, peak level doesnt really tell us anything about perceived loudness, because our brains need a bit longer to evaluate pitch or loudness.
