On this track, it probably doesn't make a difference.

Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>When I switch to the melodic range spectrogram layer, you can see WHERE the ref mix is louder. The low end is much more powerful throughout.</p><p>But there are also some short higher pitches (xylophone, I think?) arpeggiating throughout that are much louder. It's PRETTIER, but I didn't actually like how bright they were in the ref mix.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a></p>
Venya (he/him/dude) 🇺🇦<p>Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ffmpeg</span></a>-normalize.)</p><p>Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.</p><p><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/SonicVisualiser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SonicVisualiser</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/ProAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProAudio</span></a></p>
