It's a Universal but the model name has scratched off. I can find loads of similar ones online, but can't find any info even with ghe serial number.
Can anyone please shine a light on this?
Much much appreciated.
I can't seem to achieve a good overall volume of a final master. I can hit as much as -10db lufs without it going over -0.2 true peaks, but it still sounds quiet compared to similar sounding folk-rock. Do I turn up my mix before mastering and use a light brickwall limiter or do my usual -6dBrms mix, then whack that brickwall threshold right down just to make it loud?
​
Either way sounds terrible because it's so compressed. I'm trying to make this sound loud enough for commercial release, but I'm now questioning if it's possible with the recordings I have.
​
I'm mixing and mastering a folk album for a singer-songwriter. It's a mid-side recording of just guitar and vocals (he literally doesn't want any other instruments), all single takes, without overdubs.
​
The dynamic range is huge. Alot of quiet then loud parts. I set the recording levels to catch the highest peaks below 0dB to catch the quiet bits, whereas I should've turned down the gain and put the mics closer. Silly me, but I'm stuck with it now. Recording isn't an option.
​
Do I turn up the brickwall limiter threshold by -8 to -10dB as long as it doesn't show any attenuation? Or do a loud mix and a gentle brickwall limiter? Or what else can I try?
​
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you
EDIT* thanks for all your advice. It's really appreciated. I will try everyones suggestions.
