Dynamics in Electronic Music

In this video Freddie from Distinct Mastering discusses dynamics in electronic music and why dynamics are important. This is part of a two part video series about dynamics so if you missed last weeks video on What Dynamics Mean In Music then be sure to check that out. The video shows an example of a song he mastered for a client that had a loud master. He explains why he provides another master for streaming platforms if his clients request a loud master. A small example is shown of what could be happening to your music if you’re supplying loud masters to streaming platforms.  Don’t let all the punch and clarity of your recordings get lost. Make sure you understand how mastering can affect this important detail.
