The mixing was very detailed. I put this record up against many others for comparison. Please do the same. You might be surprised if you understand full dynamic range.

It is not smashed and Ted Jensen added very little eq...

David you say it's not slammed (compressed/limited), but I think we can all agree that it's at least a loud sounding record. I've heard Chris L-A say in the past that he doesn't crush the dynamics out of things, but his mixes sound incredibly loud as well. I feel like if I try to achieve that kind of loudness by crushing the 2-bus, I lose definition and dynamics. Lately I've found that I achieve better results by using less bus compression, and more heavy-handed leveling on a per track basis. Also instead of compressing more, if I use EQ make elements sound bigger (I'm kinda simplifying here), this gets louder with a more natural sounding final mix. Instead of using 2 compressors, an Inflator and L2 smashing the mix. Would you be so kind as to comment on your approach to achieving that kind of power and loudness?
Thanks
