Hi, I bought Steve H's Mastering Class a few months ago and learnt quite a lot. I do have a question though: In the tutorial, Steve talks about a dynamic range of 5dB in pop. To compare professionnal songs with my own stuff, I put different tunes in Logic and saw that most of them have more of a -12dB dynamic range. It seems to me that a 5dB would be mostly sqeezed out. Any thoughts on that ? Best wishes, Christian

Hi Steve, I used the "Peak" mode on the multimeter. As a matter of fact, I was speaking about the England stuff, especially dubstep ! I asked the question because I struggled quite a lot to master an electronic song I did. I had probably too much peaks with the drums and percussions. I had to reduce those before putting the song in the AdLimiter. Maybe that's the problem of using the Peak mode ? Here is a link to the song: http://www.ajiq.qc.ca/images/Barbican.m4a By the way, I do have four MPV tutorials. Good stuff indeed. Best wishes, Christian
