I was about to try out ahjteams suggestion on making tracks sound bigger and there's one part thats got me stumped
'bring up the bass first and keep that as a benchmark. Have it fucking slammed against the compressor and put it so that the peaks hit at -18dBFS and never move it again.'
How do i know where -18 db's is?
edit : I tried bringing my fader down to -18 but that doesnt seem like what he was talking about, think i realise hes talking about the threshold of the compressor now, god i feel stupid.
Im going to feel more stupid if that isnt the answer
