LUFS
How loud the whole song feels.The momentary value changes second by second. The integrated value sums up the whole song. That is why they can show different numbers without anything being wrong.
Understand what you see.Decide by what you hear.
You do not need to be an audio engineer. These explanations help you read the measurements in MixingMusic.
VU meter
A visual guide to level while the music plays.The bars rise and fall with the energy of the audio. They help you spot parts that are too quiet or too loud.
dBFS and peak
The highest point digital audio reaches.0 dBFS is the limit. We leave the master close to −1.2 dBFS to reduce the risk of distortion when you release it.
Dynamic range
The difference between the soft and loud parts.More range tends to feel natural and expressive; less range can feel more compact and powerful.
Headroom
The free space before reaching the digital limit.A premix with headroom lets mastering work without forcing or distorting the audio.
Stereo width
How wide the sound feels between left and right.Wider is not always better. MixingMusic protects the center to keep vocals, bass and mono compatibility intact.
Preset
A musical starting point prepared for a type of sound.It combines decisions about tone, dynamics, space and stereo. AI recommends one and you can change it.
Mix vs. master
Mixing combines tracks; mastering finishes a stereo mix.If you have vocals, guitar, drums and bass as separate tracks, you need to mix. If you already have a single stereo song, you can enhance and master it.
