    What do you guys usually aim for when it comes to mixing vocals on a two track instrumental that's downloaded off youtube..

    Most of my clients want their songs hitting 6 or 7 lufs.
    Kind of a tight squeeze to preserve proper dynamics.
    On a project with trackout stems, no problem. But hands are tied with a two track.

    Here's a demo of my last client, pushed to 7 lufs. occasionally hitting in the sixes.
    give me your thoughts on the dynamic range:
