Since there a few pro mastering guys wanted to get some input.
I'm not saying masters should be made really loud, but am curious about what techniques or gear is used to achieve it. I've heard commercial masters at -6 LUFS or even higher that still sound pretty good.
When I've tried to do it things are fine at -10, at -8 artifacts start to become noticeable, and at -6 LUFS it's a big mess. I mix with hardware but the final limiting is all plug ins, waves and/or ozone.
Any advice or tips on technique or gear?
