Adjusting loudness and saturation in LANDR

Demo summary

The creator demonstrates manual adjustments to the saturation and loudness meter to reach a target LUFS level while comparing the mastered audio to the original mix.

Step-by-step

  1. Toggle the mastering preview on and off to compare the processed audio with the original mix
  2. Check the current LUFS level on the loudness meter
  3. Add a small amount of saturation to introduce harmonics and perceived loudness
  4. Increase the loudness meter setting to reach the target LUFS level

Options

  • Increase perceived loudness via saturation instead of just the loudness meter
  • Adjust loudness to a specific target such as -8.5 or -8.7 LUFS

Watch out for

  • Be careful when adding saturation; adding too much can negatively impact the sound

Tips

  • Use saturation to add harmonics for perceived loudness
  • Only add a 'tad bit' of saturation so it is barely audible to maintain clarity

Highlights

You can't beat it.
