LOUDER Mixes With THESE 3 HACKS?🤔
Toronto mixing engineer 5PiECE demonstrates 3 techniques to achieve louder mixes and masters.
Achieving louder mixes isn't just a numbers game - its about presence, impact, balance and feeling. Sure - you can crank a limiter to the max and get a louder mix, but that isn't always the most musical solution.
In this video, 5PiECE overviews 3 (or maybe 4 actually) of his go-to simple yet effective strategies to increase perceived loudness in a mix by utilizing compression, stereo imaging and saturation plugins. In fact, one strategy involves no plugins at all!
He even covers how to think about loudness, including overviewing the Fletcher Munson loudness curves, and more.
If your goal is to achieve louder mixes and masters and understand how to increase perceived loudness, then this video should help point you in the right direction.
