U can use a strip compressor, parametric EQ & Filter for shelving unwanted frequencies & making things thump.. also Gating helps sometimes.

The multiband compressor for the prefinal.
I'm doin this off the head.. your ROOF Gain should be -1 to less than 0 db
therz a threshold wich you must maintain.
gracefully slide that threshold  slider till your ear likes it & your speakers and code RED lights dont want to light up & accept the punch without Distortion.

For the genre of music u doin you gotta remember the peak RMS[Root Mean Square] indicated in your compressor. [Compton]WATTS, hehe -11 to -9

Load up your current favorite in wavelab and let the analayzerz do it's thang and notice the spatial convergence, RMS & Gain & Frequency curves

i'll double chk latr

Daliq, you're the most technologically sound cat on here, so respect. But I think you might need to explain that a little more clearly. Not everybody has the same level of knowledge of basic concepts as you do bro!  ;D

That is loud. I really don't see why music has to be that loud. That's what the volume control is for isn't it ? I loaded Gin n Juice from Snoop's Doggystyle the other day. Peak RMS was @ -15db and shit sounds cool to this day. Shows u it's more about mixing that anything else.

But ya, loudness war ne. lol !!!

u got a point that why the Multiband compress is left for engineers with mastering hardware 4 du. u dayz & been doin it 4, ya... dayz
individually compressing frequency bands accordingly.. mixing..

The old lps were ait.. technology did the boom & that's why prestine compressors evolved & signal processing also with software doin it's round in algortihmically mapping
electronic processing to the virtual domain. Mos Def said it.  "It's all mathematics"

popped in some really old school ish and the P. RMS was well below to what we have now with improved signal to noise ratios\sensitivity & power handling.
Death Row engineers had quite a lavish studio pre & post budget I guess... All bout the bands...

Yeah you loose a lot of Dynamic Range, when you boost shit up that high, but records are being mixed terribly these days, and I blame Radio.
