I have no problem generally getting a mix to -5 or -6 LUFS. I will say, the better the mix, the easier it is to get louder. I also know, and hear all the time that many effects applied with a little amount over and over again has a much more clean and powerful effect than applying one effect heavily. Because a quiet, dynamic, great sounding mix will get blown to smithereens when heavy limiting is applied. I don’t know if I didn’t use enough compression in the very early stages? Did I achieve loudness just by volume gains instead of compressing the signal, then boosting the volume a bit? That’s what it seems like. It doesn’t breathe anymore and is like a dense pancake. The loudness is achieved but the mix starts to get smushed. I apply limiting and more EQ to help balance the limited signal. Much quieter than all my references I’m using. Nothing is distorting or fighting for space and it does not sound flat or 2D. There is space, and the drums sound nice.
