Actually, loudness fluctuations measured with EBU R128 or ITU-R BS.1770-1+ are noted down in +- <value> LU, not dB (relative) or dBFS (absolute).
Exactly

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC097 April 2024 - Submissions until 21-APR-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

So, the rules can be summarised quite easily: - true peak: -1dB max (and -6dB min to avoid a bit depth drop) - integrated LUFS: -16dB max I feel I should mention that the integrated LUFS limit shouldn't strictly be written as -16dB, but -16 LUFS only. While it's true that 1 loudness unit is 1dB (IE...

Hi everyone It's great to be back participating in the challenges this month. A Future in Noise , thank you for doing the honours and keeping the challenge alive. The song is a fantastic arrangement and when everything is put together it truly comes alive with a 70s vibe, so this is the sound I aime...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced

@BenjiRage So I gave your track a proper listen, and despite my 'dislike' for the 80's (lol) it's a really solid track. I don't actually dislike the 80's, I just don't like when it's a recreation of that sound. Like when an artist does a 1 to 1 cover of a song. If you aren't going to add anything n...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced

I'm not sure how I managed to miss your entry; sorry about that. I listened through my phone (sounded good there) but I'll give it a proper listen when I get home. Ah don't worry about it, I'm just glad to know it wasn't intentional and it did provide some pretty cool jeopardy and excitement to the...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC079 March 2024 - Winners announced

Thank you everyone for your invaluable feedback. I have to admit it was a little disheartening to be overlooked by Arelem (I don't know whether this was intentional, but I know you're not the biggest fan of the 80s sound! :lol:); nevertheless FixInTheMix you are a very worthy winner and your submiss...

It's been great to get back in the action this month. I wasn't completely sure if I'd have my track finished in time as I was still frantically bouncing mixes and tweaking things yesterday evening. Even now I listen back and hear things I want to tweak further. So that's definitely a take away for m...

Hi all, long time no post! Apologies for my recent absence, it's been a bit of a crazy and turbulent year so far and I haven't been able to find the time to enter any of the last few song or mix challenges. However, when I saw that this month's theme was Synthwave I just had to make some time and ha...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC094 October 2023 - Winners announced

So, a very different and cleaner approach. I found myself not EQing too much at all in the end. Mostly just balancing. I think this is the best version that I’ve created. I kind of like this one and am doing my best to leave it alone. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/igaei1j9o05v294jnmdvo/Pray_For_Ha...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC094 October 2023 - Winners announced

Hey there chaps, kudos for keeping on going with your mixes! Here's a bit of feedback for you: againstpower : Your second mix is a definite improvement, a lot more balanced overall in terms of levels and frequencies so good work all round there. Something I didn't note in the first mix, which has be...
