Dynamics as in soft, loud..Try using the faders in your daw including automation. 27 minutes ago, jack c. said: all tracks were recorded at 10 6 db so how could they be distorted.some parts of said song only had a few instruments how could they not have dynamics.lufs was --6 and limiter was 5.0 and ceiling was 0.0.i don't want lofi.jack c. Could be various reasons, improper gain staging, poorly tracked or bounced, eq, over compression or limiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack , -14 lufs is a typical target for streaming. -6 lufs is Way too loud. Ceiling should be at least -1 db instead of 0. The compressor/limiter should be set to whatever it takes to give you -14 lufs for the entire song. Before you ever hit the mastering stage , your song should be somewhere around -6 db. If you don't have the headroom , boosting the levels will ruin the dynamics and cause distortion. If you have Ozone it will set the loudness for you. Just basic targets .. Cool song . mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
