Recently a client brought in apocalyptic love, by Slash, you all know it, and asked to emulate the overall type sound. The song in question was track 5 No More Heroes.
ok, thats more in the mix yet overall the sound is kinda unique in some respects, HOWEVER...
the overall output volumes of the tracks were all hovering around the -5.5db range, this had me curious.
you can also see it has not been hyper cprsd either, nice compression and kinda fuzzy.
Have I missed something, the out levels are normally aimed alot closer to 0db than that? more to .01 or even -1 but -5.5?
Perhaps toast reduced it on extraction? it was from the original cd.
this seems a bit extreme?
anyways, hi to all, hope you are all doing well.

Hi,
Just played it and measured it...
Peak -0dbfs
RMS -7dbfs momentary RMS @ -5.5 dbfs
Ignore top meter its not displaying in real time!
Track isn't mental loud! quite tame compared to some tracks.
