I've just finished recording a bunch of songs that will ultimately go out to a music library or something along that line, maybe Taxi? who knows.

Anyway my question is, are the loudness wars being played out in this field as well? When it comes time to mix/master this stuff am I going to be battling it out at -0.1 peaks and -8 or higher rms for a spot on the roster so to speak?
Some things that I hear on tv. or where ever do sound double slammed while other stuff not so much.

I'd much rather keep everything at -12 or lower but if everyone else is pounding the daylights out of their stuff then I guess I'll have to as well.

Some of it is acoustic guitar as lead instrument in the mix and may not lend itself to my limiting plus the double limiting of radio or tv. very well?

Thanks, Rick
