MP 101 - Loudness and Limiting
I set the provided song there is fire to -9 RMS but the MAAT meter shows 1 to 2 db above 0, peaking in the red. Why is this happening? Does this mean the low end is to loud and the foundation is wrong. I used the track provided. I tried to tame it some but that just makes the track quieter. I have the celling set but the peaks are still getting through.

"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

Listen to my depth test and give your opinion, please
Guys, I've been experimenting with reverb and how to create depth in a mix. The clip is 16 bars @ 90bpm. It alternates between two different settings: Setting A: bars 1-4 & 9-12 Setting B: bars 5-8 & 13-16 Can you hear any difference between the two settings and how do you like them? Which one is better and why? Please note that this is not a mix but a set of raw tracks I quickly put together for this test. No EQ or anything, just some panning. The only plugin used is a room reverb, ERs without tails, just predelay. Thanks for your help!
