I consider myself to know a decent amount about music production but I still almost always learn something new from your videos. Also your mindset of not stressing about about things and not giving everything this weird artificial sense of urgency is refreshing.
I love how this video feels like a genuine guy is trying to help us achieve more in the world of music. That's why I subscribed a while back when you didn't even have 10k followers and the quality wasn't as good as now. It's so authentic and you're giving great advices Thank you so much ♥
I always appreciate how reassuring your tutorials are. The mention of you being stressed out back in the day as well, and how there's really nothing to worry about, does make the whole learning process feel a lot less daunting to me. Thank you man!
To be honest, after viewing quite a few instructional channels on music production, yours is one of the best ones by far that actually delivers educational content on the topic being addressed, always delivering accurate information, with no intent of advertising. It seems that a lot of youtube tutorials s often say to beginner producers to trust their ear on many aspects. It seems a bit incorrect as in the beginning you don't really have the ears to actually hear or understand what is that sound you're looking for, you build it up in time. In your case, rather than giving ambiguous terms as 'trust your ear and feeling', you give very clear improvements that can be made, with no intent of inflating them to grand proportions or giving fake promises in the form of 'this one thing will make your music better'. Thank you for bringing such genuine content into the world! :)
After watching countless videos on music production since exactly one year ago, I have come to the conclusion that you are the best teacher on the subject for me. Clear, calm, no bs. Thanks so much, you have taught me A LOT.
Good video! I found it interesting to hear the info on Spotify requirements as I would have just mastered like I normally would for CD. By the way, the reason that people say the peak limit should be -0.3 dB is because that is the best level for CD mastering. It gives you a safe level to ensure that there are no "overs" (inter-sample peaks over 0 dBFS) that your limiter doesn't catch, so there is no distortion when the DAW file is converted to a WAV. During the height of the Loudness Wars (mid-2000s), people changed that to -0.1 dB because they wanted the level as hot as possible. The reason for -0.1 dB is exactly because of your example in the video, where you set the limiter to a True Peak value of -1 dB and the meter was still reading it as -0.9 dB, i.e. -0.1 dB different! So, once again, thanks for the info on Spotify. It's interesting that streaming services do extra conversion of files and I will be adhering to their standards when using those platforms. Cheers!
I think new original cds and new vinyls have much awful distortion for example Taylor Swift Midnights who has very hard kick and bass and no high end!The same happens with some greek albums that reissued for first time in vinyl the last year, it has much distortion, very loud sound, and more lowend with hard kick and bass, that the original 90s cds.
I've read, watched, and practiced strategies behind "perceived loudness" on and off for 3 years, but something about the way you broke it down in this specific video made some major sense out of it all. Thank you!

actually, first thought that crossed my mind once that "music" started off was... of course, you could not be expecting anything else than this modern pop crap from that dude whos about 20 years old. nothing personal, he just doesnt know better. yet. he will grow up.

@@inthemix I wanted to ask, I and my friend bought a 3.5mm jack condenser microphone so if I use an external usb soundcard will I get a fairly good sound quality
Finally! Answers! I have been anxious af about bounced tracks being so much quieter than everything else while it's blowing out the studio speakers, these tricks will help 🙏 you're a legend
Thank you for this! You explained this topic very clearly and simply. Question though, "What about music that isn't being uploaded/streamed and just listened to as a raw file from a music player (eg. on a phone, laptop, etc.)"?
Mhmm! It's a great thing to follow when working with CDs and basic computer storage, but when it comes to modern streaming services, the rules are switched up a bit.
hey michael. Do you recommend exporting a master track for each streaming service or exporting only one master track that fits most of the criteria? thanks a lot
I've heard tell (though have not been able to confirm) that RUclips normalizes to about -13 LUFS. You can see what normalization RUclips's done to a video by right-clicking on it and clicking "Stats for Nerds." The "Volume / Normalized" line shows the value of the volume slider vs. the actual volume the video is being played at, as well as the overall loudness of the audio. Aim for a "content loudness" of 0 dB.
If we could just get back to the standard loudness levels of CDs circa 1993, that'd be great. Modern mastering sounds like someone scratching plastic next to your eardrum.
Holy holy camoly 😱😱😱😱😱. This is beyond gold. You unravelled in plain simple words the huge mystery in terms of Loudness requirements on your tracks for streaming services. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
they all work off average loudness ( integrated LUFs) so if you add a long and really QUIET outro it will bring down the overall average loudness value of your whole track... so they wont turn it down as much resulting in a louder track. I wouldnt aim for -14LUFs for club or edm music ... doesnt have the same energy and overall glue. Also distributors only use the 1 file to pump it out to all platforms so -14LUFS might be ok on spotify but not beatport... and i would do a separate master for soundcloud ..push it harder and boost the highs a tad more as you lose them from the conversion
@@YouleanSoftware I agree ...between -8 LUFS to -10LUFS integrated for club or edm ... has the energy ,loudness and punch.. I pushed it to -6LUFS and put that up on spotify temporarily and it sounded flat
Giulio Boobzilla I’m working on a project mastering right now, and I agreed, in France the new limitation for broadcasting is 23 LUFS, and for music I don’t feel confortable above -16 LUFS.
Flying Island I think dat we also hav -23dB LUFS 4 broadcasting here in Germany. -16 still sounds a lil squashed if U r mastering. Dey should limit @ -18 average 4 songs worldwide.
7:48 thank you for the words about pushing it a few dB more! there are countless dumb tutorials about making your tracks just -14 LUFS, while the limited sound may sound a bit better if it's done right! And it's personal preference how much dynamics you want in your track! In EDM I often aim for around -7 or -8 LUFS short term in the drop. If it's more dynamic, it sounds like the percussive peaks are not glued enough with the rest :) cheers!
It depends on lots of issues, e.g. what's the highest short term true peak, what platforms are considered by you for releasing your tracks on, what format and quality are you going to save it as, how the whole mixing and mastering process was done and others, so it's hard to judge if it's wrong or not. I recommend you to extend your knowledge about music production so that you can manage to answer your question. Watch ruclips.net/video/h-QCQiOkufc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/uQ57_VLPDAA/видео.html and maybe it can help you decide whether you master your tracks properly.
Just a heads up there is a Youlean Loudness meter tool on Apple App Store (IOS) that is made by the same developer as this desktop version. As far as I can tell it’s the only AUV3 loudness metering tool on IOS. It’s awesome!

You've done a lot for the community. You've helped me to learn and understand so much about FL Studios and music in general. I appreciate you and will continue to support
Three Questions: 1. At what Lufs level do you try to get your mixes before you master them? -23?, -20? 2. I find that the more limiting you put om the master, the brighter it becomes. How do you combat that brightness that sounds a bit harsh on cell phones especially? 3. Do use a brick wall limiter on the master bus of the mix before you master? Thanks in advance for answering the questions and thanks for the videos. Appreciate them very much.

what about RUclips loudness limit ? in 2019

I've heard tell (though have not been able to confirm) that RUclips normalizes to about -13 LUFS.

The "Volume / Normalized" line shows the value of the volume slider vs. the actual volume the video is being played at, as well as the overall loudness of the audio. Aim for a "content loudness" of 0 dB.
Is it still true that RUclips won't add volume to a track to make it louder but will limit its loudness?
Correct. RUclips will make loud audio quieter, but will not make quiet audio louder.
loudness penalty is a game changer whoa, thank u so much sir
If we could just get back to the standard loudness levels of CDs circa 1993, that'd be great. Modern mastering sounds like someone scratching plastic next to your eardrum.

7:48 thank you for the words about pushing it a few dB more! there are countless dumb tutorials about making your tracks just -14 LUFS, while the limited sound may sound a bit better if it's done right! And it's personal preference how much dynamics you want in your track! In EDM I often aim for around -7 or -8 LUFS short term in the drop. If it's more dynamic, it sounds like the percussive peaks are not glued enough with the rest :) cheers!

So, my - 0,3 on limiter are wrong?
It depends on lots of issues, e.g. what's the highest short term true peak, what platforms are considered by you for releasing your tracks on, what format and quality are you going to save it as, how the whole mixing and mastering process was done and others, so it's hard to judge if it's wrong or not.

You've done a lot for the community. You've helped me to learn and understand so much about FL Studios and music in general. I appreciate you and will continue to support
"You dont need to put ceiling higher in the hope listener impression ur music, it's not the way people consump music" love that quote.
Thank you so much for this video Michael. It really helped and clarified a lot 👍😊
Three Questions:
1. At what Lufs level do you try to get your mixes before you master them? -23?, -20?
2. I find that the more limiting you put om the master, the brighter it becomes. How do you combat that brightness that sounds a bit harsh on cell phones especially?
3. Do use a brick wall limiter on the master bus of the mix before you master?
Thanks in advance for answering the questions and thanks for the videos. Appreciate them very much.
Excellent tutorial, thank you!
Literally the first 3 minutes had everything I was looking for at the moment. You guys on RUclips never fail to amaze me 💯
