So really this means that other songs are just “perceptually louder”. Usually a song hits a limiter with a ceiling of 0. Now really if you think of it, all tracks when mastered are the same volume, even yours.
You may think it’s a mastering problem, but it's really it’s mixing.īefore a master can really polish and improve your song, you need a mix that will work well being mastered. One of the biggest mixdown questions we get asked here at Cymatics is “how do I make my track louder”. Do you ever ask yourself 'my song is so good, but why can't I get it louder?!'
