How Come you do -8db lufs? Is it for a specific streaming service? I always thought for spotify it had to be -14db lufs. What are your thoughts about that?
That is the worst advice I hear people give. You should master your tracks so they sound loud comparative to other similar music. If you master a house or techno track to -14 lufs it is going to sound super weak next to any other professional track. Master it loud and let Spotify turn down the volume, that way you have control of the sound and the amount of compression applied. Spotify turn the volume down to match the loudness of all of the tracks so that the listener has a more seamless experience. The idea that having the volume turned down on your track so that it sounds similar to the tracks played before and after it is somehow a penalty is absolutely ridiculous. The penalty here is mastering your track to -14 lufs and having it sound like s*** in the club. I hope that clears it up for you. Whoever you heard give that advice, I recommend you unsubscribe from them immediately!
Excellent video as always, Dilby. Another really great referencing tool I started using recently is Oszilloz Megascope, by Schultz Audio. It's a bit expensive, (a bit cheaper on black Friday) but such a great tool for keeping an eye on where things are overlapping, or summing in a problematic way.
Thanks for showing your settings! have you looked at TDR prism for the same purpose? It better displays types of perception etc so for example it has the spectrum under “human” energy perception which I found super useful, and can use average/lufs/peak over eachother and get in depth info
Thanks man, I tried to adjust span and somehow I got addition shpes in the background like copy of those same waves. Do you know how to deactivate that? Thanks Daniel UPDATE: I managed to remove one layer thru correct settings. 😂
I have the free version VST3 but it doesn't give the option for more than 2 on the input routing. Is this only available for VST2? If so is there a link to download the VST2 version? The Voxengo site only has the VST3 available.

@@dilbydj thanks for your advice and keep up the good video’s and music👑
@@dilbydj "unsubscribe from them immediately".... I love that 😂❤
Finally someone with a work around for the VST3 version! Thank you dude!
Such a great teacher. This video is invaluable, can’t wait for when you’re in Toronto. Cheers
Very soon!
Legendary, I'm glad you have refreshed this one again, D.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

Great plugin. I use it on every track. It's been in my template for years.
Nice one Dilby 👍
That a Great Tip ; thanks for sharing
Really helpful, thanks man , great vid 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dilby, I have a question, I saw you hitting the -6, -9 of gain reduction in the limiter, this is not a problem for your master?
Thanks for showing your settings! have you looked at TDR prism for the same purpose? It better displays types of perception etc so for example it has the spectrum under “human” energy perception which I found super useful, and can use average/lufs/peak over eachother and get in depth info
In terms of must haves maybe vision 4x as you can get so much info from it if needed. Paired with span/prism/youlean you can cover most bases
🙌🙌🙌
I have been waiting for this video, was wondering my my referencing never quite works out
Thanks man, I tried to adjust span and somehow I got addition shpes in the background like copy of those same waves. Do you know how to deactivate that? Thanks Daniel UPDATE: I managed to remove one layer thru correct settings. 😂
I hope it’s about music production Referencing not only mixing 🎉
👏🏻
I have the free version VST3 but it doesn't give the option for more than 2 on the input routing.
Is this only available for VST2?
If so is there a link to download the VST2 version?
The Voxengo site only has the VST3 available.
Sidechain only works on vat 2. I got vst 2 from Voxengo website. I'm on PC btw. But maybe you can use the solution I offer in the video no?
@@dilbydj Ah I should have watched the whole thing.
Yes I got it to work with the SPAN plus demo version !
Thank you for that. 🙏
Does anyone know why the option to sidechain isn't showing up when I drop this onto my master track in ableton?
Only works on VST Version. Not AU and not VST3
@@dilbydj thanks I ended up figuring it oit
