🚀 Mastering Tip for Home Engineers:
🔥 Loud ain't pro. Clean is king!
Before you even think about slapping on a limiter, make sure your mix has -6dB to -3dB of headroom to avoid distortion. When it's time to boost that final loudness, set your limiter’s output ceiling to -1dB to prevent ugly digital clipping on streaming platforms. Keep your gain reduction subtle (1-3dB max)—you want punch, not a brick wall!
