Loud or Accurate???

[MorePunkThanFunk]

basically the volume cut has nothing to do with dynamics or length its to do with the frequencies, its also being cut by a very experienced engineer... no prizes for guessing who. basically to get the record to the usual loudness for vinyl (+5db) a lot of the top end has to be taken out, thus resulting in the track sounding bass heavy and crap. the track sounded really good before mastering and the tp came back and it sounded terrible. also thisisn't a peak time track or a hard track.

that old chestnuet eh?


don't use so many rides or crashes / shakers in future
that stuff just eats cutting heads , and don't maxmise your mix too much in the computer that can cause some unpleasant harmonics which you can't even hear in the studio

for the time being ...go for a quieter cut , it'll sound fine , trust me..don't go for a loud dull cut , it will just sound shit only louder.

completely hit the nail on the head there, the problem is they want to be paid again for the mastering to get it re-cut quieter where as i maintain i shouldnt as they should have done it in the first place
