Great! Ilike it! I hear your style through the elecronics.
I would like some more power to the drums though.

Integrated LUFS = -10.5
Loudness Range = 2.4 LU
True Peak Max = 1.2 db


That's a loud mix you got there. Do as you will, but it I counted 36 clips over the zero (0) mark.

For audio, from -9 LUFS to -11 LUFS seems optimal. From -6LUFS to -8LUFS would be too loud.

Sorry for being a little pessimistic.

Well, it's all relative and I'm not to be the judge of what others like and/or should do, but you can read up on this here:

https://www.masteringthemix.com/blog...fy-and-youtube

Just a thought, but it seems like regulations/legislation is going to force lower values of "loudness", so whatever we're doing here (i.e. us in our home studios) won't matter as much in the future, because whatever we're sending to Youtube, Spotify, I-Tune, Soundcloud, etc. will automatically reduce (most likely) to something else/lower.

I don't think music will be subjected to the same regulations as, say television broadcasters (i.e. -23 LUFS), but it will be lower than what we've got as a whole right now.

So, perhaps we would be wise to mix and master at lower values so we avoid any surprises down the pipe; perhaps this a moot point since lowering won't affect the sonic quality of our songs (I don't know).

However, the dynamic range of your song is really small and that may be good for competing with other modern mixes (i.e. those in the loudness war), but when the regulations kick in the reasons for squashing a song will diminish, especially if other producers start to introduce dynamic back into modern music.

They suggest peaks at -1.0, to leave room for digital to analogue artifacts...

Check out this fun picture:

This is all new to me, but as he said above "I got the LUFS bug". I'm going to mix much lower than before, just because I really never enjoyed squashing things in the first place, and wasn't very good at it; it seems like when I add a limiter at the end I get a different sonic sound/experience -which sucks because I worked to hard at mixing a song that I enjoyed...).

I think this type of music you can get away with it being on the loud side.As illustrated in the Video I made above its intended to be a sound track type thing and dramatic to hammer home the images as it were.
I'm going to try some other master mix settings to see if I can increase the loudness range.There was no compression on any of the tracks only on the final stereo mix.i used some volume envelopes on a few of the tracks but that was it
