This question to anyone with mastering knowledge:
How do I get my tracks as loud as a reference track?
I understand one of the final steps is to use a clipper and then limiter to boost the track and then limit it so it doesn't clip - but it's still never as loud as any reference track I stack it up to.
For example: I mastered a track, and listening to it in the car I needed my volume on 20 when any other song is around 16 or 17 for the same volume.
If I just push the limiter even more I feel like I would be over limiting the track and everything just starts to fall apart - am I missing something here?
Thank you
