Uploaded music volume

Post by byllsong » Sat May 18, 2019 11:23 am

Hi guys,
I just uploaded 3 three pieces to Taxi hosting.
How loud do the uploads need to be?
I don't want to overload things.
Thanks,
Billy

Hi Billy,

As loud as the references.
I just use Waves L2 with an out ceiling of about -.3 and crank the threshold until its as loud as the refs.
Actually I don't compare to anything anymore.... I just kind of know.
But the above advice will get you started.


my -.3 cents,
Tim

Loud

That's what they seem to prefer over track with a wide dynamic range, I've had several tracks signed where they asked me to make them louder which I felt compromised the audio fidelity but they got used so what do I know ! I just accept it now.

Ozone8 has helped me get stuff to a competitive loudness with less side effects

Yes... I agree with cosmicdolphin,

I have 2 libraries that definitely boost the volume of tracks I have done... that are already very loud!

Also.. Yes..they can make it quieter for the TV show.... but they cannot take away the distortion or grating sound that a too loud track has.


My 2 cents,
Tim
