Of course, like most of you, I'm trying to squeeze every ounce of SPL into my final masters (no, I'm not a loudness war junkie which you can see from the analysis specs) but I don't want to give up yet more dB to fall under some magic threshold. I consistently read about keeping the limiter at -0.3dB to account for quick transients missed by metering but RX4 seems pretty tight on its analysis.
Is this an inherent algorithm problem for MP3 creation? Is there anything I can do about this… or do I just have to put up with it?Ģ. Whether I use Logic or iTunes to create a 320 MP3, I get distortions as follow:ġ. Notice I have plenty of headroom, True Peak Levels of almost -0.3 dB. I have a track from Logic Pro 9.1.8 bounced and mastered to end up with the following specs per iZotope RX4:
I am confused and don't know if there is anything I can do… or if it's just the way MP3s are.
