I do have a question. If I was to release music it will probably be through distrokid, because they upload music to all the stores at once, would there be 1 target to aim for in terms of lufs?
I just started back with music production after a 10 year break. It’s almost like I’m starting over. Everything has changed so much. This video is 5 years old and I’m trying to learn from it.
Your RMS after after the limiter has changed everything for me. I can finally settle on a mix that isn't perfect and be somewhat satisfied. This one of the most important mixing videos I've ever came across. I wish more mixers were as honest as you. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Devine is what your are dude. Peace!
This is a great explanation. Thank you for delivering quality content Sean! It's so helpful. I've been an active viewer for a while now. Maybe like 5 years. And I return these videos frequently to help my grow my engineering skills. You are appreciated!
YOOO deadass thank you for explaining the difference between RMS and LUFS so clearly and detailed too in this video. Watched a lot videos about the two and never could wrap my head around it.
Thanks for this video I found it helpful, even though I’m just starting to understand what all this means and apply to this all my tracks, it’s great to have a guide and I just downloaded levels and Expose, to get my mixes ready for other streaming services like Spotify and sound cloud again, as I feel there at that professional stage before release
I always use three loudness meters: RMS (usually for low frequencies, bass notes), LUFS_short for control mix with&without vocal, calibrated K12. And sometimes VU meter.
Great! You are explained very understandable manner. I am new to audio editing. I have a spec for loudness/peak. How to achieve this. Loudness Guidelines: All audio work must meet the following requirements 1. The targeted loudness should be -16 LUFS 2. Short form programming (Less than 60 sec) shouldn't exceed -14 LUFS 3. The True Peak Level shouldn't exceed -3 dB TP to prevent clipping when using lossy encoders All measurements should be taken for the whole program
Thanks to you man that we as amateur producers can learn a lot of things in this industry through your tutorial, learned a lot over the years but not so as i do now from your videos.
Great vid thanks. Still not sure I understand what should I look for or what number to target the RMS for (when producing and mixing, not for mastering if it makes any sense)
Hey Sean, really helpful video but one quick thing. I heard that Logic meters are not accurate as they weren't calibrated using the AES17 (Standard meter calibration). That's what happens as well with Voxengo SPAN, their RMS marks 3dbs less of what actually is. You can check if their calibration it's alright by playing a sinewave and check your meters. Your RMS has to be the same as your peak as a sinewave doesn't have a dynamic range. When doing that and loading Voxengo It told me that my RMS was 3dbs lower. What you can do in Voxengo its to use the DBFS+3 Metering. If you don't want to use another meter bear in mind that you have to add +3dbs of what your meter is telling you. Hope this helps!
I'm really enjoying the videos dude. One Q: So what's the difference between Peak and True Peak? I see there's the option in that level meter to have different levels. Thanks, Sean!
thanks Elliott! True peak is a more accurate peak reading that takes into account the conversion from digital to analog (which can result in overs that peak doesn't detect)
Hi, Sean! As always, your tutorials are awesome! I just need to clarify something? If I have a -6dB headroom on my master output, and the mix should be at -12dB to -10dB RMS level while maintaining the peaks of -6dB to -3dB Peak level without clipping, is that situation good for a mix before sending it for mastering? Thanks for the help. Cheers, Ivan
Great video! Thanks a lot! But i have a question! Do you release a video about how to deliever your music to a target LUFS and RMS? If it`s there please link the video! Thanks!
Thanks for the video, I've got a question: I'm trying to get all my RUclips recordings to a standard of -19 LUFS, but for some of them (since I used different recording settings), I'm unable to hit a higher true peak (for some the true peak is -1.5dB, for other recordings its -4dB). Now I'm not sure which parameter I should prioritize, should I increase my LUFS to get high true peaks, or leave the LUFS as it is, at expense of lower true peaks? Thanks.
I do have a question. If I was to release music it will probably be through distrokid, because they upload music to all the stores at once, would there be 1 target to aim for in terms of lufs?
Native Gringo check out the video coming later this week. I explain this in detail :)
Awesome 👌🎶💪🔊

glad to hear it was helpful 🙌
for those on the quest for the perfect signal, this is the total bonus unlockables, cheers!
Going back and learning a lot from last years videos! And as always - it's so inspiring! Thank's Sean!
glad to hear it :)
Wow amazing can’t wait for the next videos on this subject.
I’ve had these questions for a year or so now. Thank you !!!
dude great content and information, you broke this down really well and the track sounds dope!
I love how you have proper leveling of the video's audio as well. perfect level
Your voice calms me.
Great explanation, too the point with no waffling around like some do.
Thanks Sean, helping me build concept of RMS & True Peak & LUFS in logic & help how to use them.
Great to hear!
Great video and very well explained. Well done and thanks for sharing!
Your mastering tutorial with LPX plugins is one of my favourites. Thank you Sean.
appreciate you Mark!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge so succinctly - it helps a lot.
Really helpful and down to earth video. Great delivery and explanation of LUFS in comparison to true peak and RMS.
Much appreciated!
Great way to explain, never knew about the integrated levels!!
Glad it was helpful!
Super important. Thanks for the video man!
Loudness is perceived. Very enlightening. Just the way that feeling warm or cool is arbitrary based on the relativity of our senses. Good lecture fam!
The sound of the into is sick!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱

Thanks man! Great work and very clear! Thanks thanks thanks! Greetings from Holland! Have a great day Sean!
This was extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
🤜
Thanks Sean. An important topic that is confusing to many (ok, me at least).
A very succinct explanation. Thank you.
Always a plus!
Very well explained!
thank you!
I liked the whole video, of course, but the RMS and LUFS talk was a good refresher. Thank you.
:)

This was great and to the point. Thanks!
Thank you for your explanation of LUFS :)
great video--thanks Sean
Just popped by to say your explanation was ...
*Waggles eyebrows*
Divine.
And severely informative. Thank you.
glad it helped :) thanks!
Right on Time ! 🙏🏾❤️

Студия звукозаписи Elegata Music fun yea
Great Video.. Thank you so much.. Very helpful!
really helpful video. thanks for the wisdom man
Awesome video man
This was a very helpful video.Thank you.
Thanks for the valuable information!
Thnx a LOT Sean!
Well explained, thanks for this man!
sure thing :)
awesome video! thanks bro
Just Subscribed, you are a great teacher man. Thank You
🙌🙏
Thank you so much for the needed tips bro, because I see a lot of youtube beats at -5 for LUFS and it hurts my ears lol.
This video is Great! Thanks for all the information.!
My pleasure Pablo!
love that bass tone in the intro, nicely saturated 😀
thanks :)
Great content👏🏻👍🏼🥂✨
thanks for that 🙏
Thanks so much!!
Dude this was a great great great explanation of the metering because I still struggle I am using a VUMT and I love it but I don’t think it has lufs
Just what I needed.
🙌
Thank you for this. It was very helpful.
sure thing, glad to hear it
broooo epic beat!
thanks man!
you rule! thank you!!!!!
nice info!
Thank you for this bro.
Any time 🙌
Nice video, it's very clear!
Glad it was helpful!
Great! You are explained very understandable manner.
I am new to audio editing. I have a spec for loudness/peak. How to achieve this.
Loudness Guidelines:
All audio work must meet the following requirements
1. The targeted loudness should be -16 LUFS
2. Short form programming (Less than 60 sec) shouldn't exceed -14 LUFS
3. The True Peak Level shouldn't exceed -3 dB TP to prevent clipping when using lossy encoders
All measurements should be taken for the whole program
Love all your tutorials. Will you ever make a video giving tips on how to use a spectral analyzer for us engineers working in non studio areas?
thanks! I'll see what I can do :)
very informative.
well done - good presentation style - articulate
Thanks for the kinds words 🙏
Thanks :)
great video! thanks!
sure thing!
Is this useful for vlog audio? Seems it’s just for music? I just try hover around -6 db.
If it's a video for RUclips, you should stick with -14 LUFS.
thank you
All the way from the start,i can feel it in my heart like its gona be good coz its Sean Divine
🙏
Thanks to you man that we as amateur producers can learn a lot of things in this industry through your tutorial, learned a lot over the years but not so as i do now from your videos.
Thank you brother
sure thing!
Man, thanks
thanks for explanation
sure thing!
thank u
Nice
good video
This was very helpful, thanks!!
THANKS
🙌
Great vid thanks. Still not sure I understand what should I look for or what number to target the RMS for (when producing and mixing, not for mastering if it makes any sense)

That beat was talking to me.... WOW
Wish I could use it...

Me too!
Could you go into detail about what frequencies constitutes “loudness.” like rms is affected more by bass.
You can show all your clicks at first ? I can't find same window's on my project. It's hilarious lessons bro
Pro L 2 LUFS Meter the best of the best.
Sondaze! Yes.
Sometimes and free TBProAudio too. But need to calibrate for mix level.
I'm really enjoying the videos dude. One Q: So what's the difference between Peak and True Peak? I see there's the option in that level meter to have different levels. Thanks, Sean!
thanks Elliott! True peak is a more accurate peak reading that takes into account the conversion from digital to analog (which can result in overs that peak doesn't detect)
mono compressor is too good on the bass crazy !
Many thanks Bro, of coarse like and subscribe :)
Can you do a quick tut on how to eq certain samples from 70s or 80s music
Hi, Sean!
As always, your tutorials are awesome! I just need to clarify something? If I have a -6dB headroom on my master output, and the mix should be at -12dB to -10dB RMS level while maintaining the peaks of -6dB to -3dB Peak level without clipping, is that situation good for a mix before sending it for mastering?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Ivan
thanks Ivan! Yes, as long as you have 4-6 dB of peak headroom, that's usually more than enough (unless the mix is totally off)
Hi Sean! Thnx for the clear video, really helpful. Question: what software brand are the Level Meter and the LUFS Meter you pull up at 0:13? Thnx!
HareKrsna&GodBless
Wow! Dude! How and where did you learn all this stuff? Very useful info! Thanks for sharing!
glad it's helping :) time, effort and curiosity! still learning everyday
Don,t forget Hornet plugins, they are from Italy and made by care and cheap too...:)
Thank you for the insight. is -14 LUFS also the standard for streaming on RUclips and Facebook?
Great video! Thanks a lot! But i have a question! Do you release a video about how to deliever your music to a target LUFS and RMS? If it`s there please link the video! Thanks!
ruclips.net/video/w3m91IqeRXM/видео.html
I hope you make video about how to get this -14 lufs, cause in my mixes i usually got around -9 rms and -17 lufs
next video talks about this :)
Use saturation or a soft clipper
-9 rms ? 😳
Thanks for the video, I've got a question: I'm trying to get all my RUclips recordings to a standard of -19 LUFS, but for some of them (since I used different recording settings), I'm unable to hit a higher true peak (for some the true peak is -1.5dB, for other recordings its -4dB).
