      Lol. I feel you. I learned this terminology almost a year ago. He said mixing, but it’s really a mastering thing. It’s the final volume( measured in LUFS {perceived loudness}, not dB) of a song/project. The higher the LUFS number, the louder the final volume outcome

      ​@@TCapo1185 Gotta correct you, the lower number is louder. - 6 LUFS is louder than -10 LUFS. A LOT louder.

      -6 is higher than -10 bro. 6 would be lower than 10 but in negatives the "lower" number is technically higher

      LUFs is the perceived loudness of the track regardless of actual dB’s of Gain in your track. You can See the LUFs of your song by adding a LUF meter plugin into your master bus in your daw. There’s a free one called Youlean Luf meter. I personally use the meter on the TRacks or Fabfilter Pro L2’s meter. However the YouLean LUF Meter works perfect if yall you want to see is Loudness. You can have your meter not go above 0dB but your Loudness can still range by adding a limiter or clipper and pushing your mix into it. It’s basically mastering but useful in mixing as well

      @nb-dm7gm 6 днів тому

      -9 integrated is still pretty extreme, but it's been a standard for decades now because being louder stands out on the radio compared to quieter stuff. These days most people listen to spotify or youtube, and those platforms automatically normalize tracks to around -14. Really It doesn't matter what you aim for as long as you like the sound of it.
