![]() (Or LUFS - depends on preference but both tell you the same thing. If your track shows the same RMS but your track sounds much quieter it's as simple as this. you should be able to have your "mastered" track match the level of a commercial track similar to yours. The trick to using a level meter is simple. This kind of distortion is more appearent in high frequency ranges and this makes it easier to spot.Īlso use a level meter of some kind, even a general RMS meter is fine. There should be a few free plugins that just let you manipulate side and mid if you want to hear what is happening there.Īnother good way of checking for distortion given from excessive limiting is soloing only the very high frequencies 8k/10K on-wards.(some multiband compressors can do that for example) It would be a pity to have an overall lower track volume just to accomodate one note. They would give an illusion of having plenty of extreme low end while actually raising higher harmonics of the fundamental you are interested in enhancing, or simply add in the "right" low frequencies you are after. If it doesn't sound "bassy" as you would want it to, you can try some harmonic enhancers like RBass/MaxxBAss/Sub_Synth after cutting the very very low end a bit. You might need to cut what is not "useful" in that note. If the bass note sounds quiet but "looks" loud it means it might have frequencies too low to translate to your monitoring, or any monitoring, depending on the frequencies. (It's called "fix it in the mix" not "fix it in the mastering" ) Click to expand.In these cases, if you can, it is better to go back to the mix and adjust that peak.
