I am very curious as to why you settled at 00.8 - 1 LUFS? In a mix most producers (not that it matters) always sit at -8 -6 so im curious as to why you set yours so high haha was it just for maximum loudness? It sounds very good tho thats why im asking.

 

It's all relative, i don't clip every track but i just gave it ha transient "shave" and thus giving the track more bottomend less highs cus it had good highs. You have to listen carefully, there is a new plugin called FUEL it is also a good clipper. Which i used at 5-9% on my last insert before the limitier, try it out, mainly the mix is good so mastering is just polish or just dynamic control, loudness today isnt a big deal, 14 LUFS sounds good, i do my techno tracks to aprox 8.5 LUFS 0DBFs, i dont listen to what others are saying i just listen and then i adjust stuff

But yeah it was to max the track to its fullest.

Correction: When i said less highs i was talking about percieved loudness, the highs when clipped gets lowered / cut but then boosted with the limiter so you get more loudness, this might confuse you in my previous statement, clipping gives u more loudness percieved and dynamic range is lowered
a lot, which essentially gives more highs and lows and can sound awful, but do it right and a tiny tiny bit it can help your track, but clippers shaves the transients and most transients is in the higher frequency spectrum.

Here is a link to my new youtube channel where i show how i made my tracks

Made an track shorter and with a complete twist, do you like this better? All feedback is welcome. thnx

 

I find a late 80s/early 90s vibe in this song. There are very good parts. I feel this is not a totally finished song. I dont wanna sound negative, because I listened to it several times with great pleasure. I feel that some parts could be linked differently. The eurodance part is a great idea but the melody changes too suddenly.
The shorter format is cool.
In my opinion, there's everything there to make a great track, it just needs some work, mostly on the structure. Parts are very effective, it's the way they are chained that could be better, more fluid, more obvious. Maybe at times, they feel a bit forced.
But yeah! I like your stuff!

 

Okey yeah i see what you mean, i work so fast i miss the details, im trying to make a track in 2-3 days now instead of 1 day , so i can hear differently day 2 and 3, many pros says that its best to divide it into diff days and even let a track be for two weeks,

I tried the twist, its something i will implement in future tracks, it kinda worked this time but next time it will be better '

Thnx for your advice and thoughts, glad you enjoyed it a bit anyway :D

Regards

Johnny

My youtube where i show how i made my tracks in video.

EDIT: i only use Cubase and vst plugins

 

Just made a weirder track idk what to think about it, i kinda like it but at the same time i dont. Maybe i did it too fast again, anyway i wanna know what you think, this is like maybe i hate it but others dont, idk, so im asking for IF you LIKE it or NOT, its def my style and unique. But it's not good enough imo.
