FTM Day 2 Replay Insight at 01:20:00 "How to Reach LUFS"
I noticed this interesting discussion in February 2026 FTM Day 2 replay about how we can reach the same LUFS level yet end up with completely different results depending on how we get there. Scenario 1: Forcing the Foundation Toward the LUFS Target In this approach, pushing the foundation harder into the limiter to reach the desired LUFS level causes the limiter to reduce dynamic range. It does this by raising the sustain closer to the transient peaks, shrinking the space between the sustain and the transients. As a result, we LOSE DEPTH and the mix sounds flat. Scenario 2: Adding Low-End to the Sustain of the Foundation to Reach LUFS Target Instead of squeezing dynamics to get louder, this approach increases perceived loudness by enhancing the low-end energy in the sustain. In this approach, we DON'T LOSE DEPTH because the transient-to-sustain relationship stays intact. Depth is preserved! Loudness comes from fullness, not limiting.

"Foundation First" method could be called "Engineering Depth First"
After rewatching February 2026 replays, I noticed explanations about creating the depth of the mix as the main focus of this method: - get a great depth - a good foundation of depth early on in the mixing process - setting a foundation of depth in the mix - appropriate amount of depth early on in the mix - a competitive industry level of depth - a maximum amount of depth at a mastered volume - the depth between sustained low end and transient peaks - the depth between 0 VU reading and -5 dBFS True Peak reading - the depth should remain intact when pushed to mastered loudness level
