100 Honcho was saying he wanted his mixes to play right with any industry music. I really thought they already should, according to the user manuals they would. There's a technique I had read about in forums online, although I did not embrace the idea at first. Well, now it's on there. Tried that out on his new song "Decatur Baby" and was blown away by the coherence and boost it gave. I'm up at least 2 dB from what was considered a completely mastered track by the manual.
I don't want to give away my trade secrets, but I will say it's a combination of two different types of advanced peak limiters that are carefully balanced. Right after that, I put it on E&J's new song "Soul+Eater," total banger. And it's got a brand new beat chop. The snare bounces from side to side through an EQ filtered delay before the beat comes back. Tempo synced. 🥶
