the trick is using just a few instruments/tracks. in bangarang most of the time there is just the beat (kick, snare-clap, one hihat) plus bassline. the voice is only playing when there is no bass.
with only 3 instruments you have much more space for each. i did the same once with a minimal techno track. minimal beat, bass, guitar, that was all. the track mastered was somewhere at -3 to -4db RMS, without heavy mastering settings. it was loud as hell, like bangarang, but not distorted. |
Yes. Arrangement is the key in my opinion.
The fewer elements you have in your mix, the louder it can sound. Seems counter-intuitive but recorded music doesn't follow the same rules as live music
