Mastering loudness is an important topic, especially as streaming services have become the dominant way people consume music. However, there are many misconceptions around loudness that can lead to poor mastering decisions. Some claim that if your loudness isn't competitive, your master will sound "weak," or that all commercial music is mastered extremely loud.
In this video, I'll break down the realities of loudness in music production and provide my expert insights on how loud you should master your music. I'll also reveal the surprising truth about loudness levels in professional, commercially-released productions.
