Hello, I understand everything except for this: -14LUFS SLk (avg) or K-12v1 (avg) What on earth does it mean? Best regards, A Future In Noise

LUFS - loudness units relative to full scale. These days mastered track have extremely limited master = pure sausage. Most tracks are overcompressed and aim for maximum loudness, introducing artifacts from clipping and they also loosing dynamic range. Here is nice picture of sausage



The values provided are just recommendation. For more info just use google.

Thank you!

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!

It is right place to post your entry. Maybe posting some more info can be better. Like more details about instruments used, your DAW and so on.

Done!

Since it's the holiday season, I decided to make an exception with this month's Songwriting Competition.

If you haven't submitted your production so far, since you ran out of time, I'm giving you the chance to do that right now!
Finish your production, then submit it.


I'm extending the Songwriting Competition 016 until Tuesday, 25-12-2018 11:59pm GMT+1/CET - as of this moment, there are 22 hours left. Please use this time wisely and try to join in time in January 2019

Happy Holidays
