Loudness is something that many music producers struggle with. They will compare their own music vs other artists and find that it is difficult to achieve similar loudness to other professional tracks without making significant compromises to their music such as pumping, breathing, distortion, and an overall lack of dynamics. In this video, I go over how you can use built in ableton effects such as the new limiter, glue compressor, the standard compressor, and of course the clipping modes in Saturator to achieve loud and clean mixes without making compromises to the cleanliness of your music.
