Most of the HH I get in here...
Let me rephrase that -
Most of the
good sounding HH I get in here comes in at around -20 to -18dBRMS and peaks at (give or take) -3,-2,-1dBFS. 15, 16dB crest (generally a little narrower crest than a lot of pop/rock, but as you'd expect, more samples = less chance for errant peaks).
I get plenty in that sounds like [SELF-CENSORED] that has a crest of 10 or 12dB... And of course, they want it louder.
And not surprisingly (well, I guess it's a surprise to some) the stuff that usually leaves here the loudest came in the quietest. More accurately, the stuff that can handle the narrowest crest came in with the widest.
