Terminology clarification for aspiring producers: Saying something sounds "dynamic" means that its energy level fluctuates (generally to have a greater impact on the listener). This definition holds true whether describing a song, a mix, a beat, or a solo instrument. Playing two single kick samples and saying one sounds more "dynamic" because it has a higher perceived loudness is a misuse of the term. The first kick sounds louder (and harsher) than the second kick. The second kick sounds sharp for a split second and then sounds deep and thumpy through the tail. You could argue that the second kick actually sounds more dynamic. But that's not even a typical use of the term. Most producers, if they listen to a track and say the kick needs to sound more dynamic, they mean that there should be more variation in how hard the kick hits, such as between accented and unaccented notes, or in different parts of the song. I hope this helps.

Homie, dynamics are used to define the difference between the loudest and softest parts. When something is dynamic, that means it has varying loudness. If a kick needs more dynamics, you compress it to accentuate the attack which creates the dynamics. Just wondering where you got your degree to be acting like you are the know all for “upcoming producers.” People don’t need your bs when Fox Stevenson is a already a professional

Honestly, to those people who don't really think this is useful: Stan has a very unique work/production flow and this mixing style really fits his sound, but there are some incredibly useful bits and bobs in here. Eg.: try 50% soft clipping your snares and pushing them into a limiter with the kick by 3db. It's so punchy, especially in genres like DnB and Dubstep. You do you, but this for example worked for me. Also, clipping before limiting is again a universal thing that is fucking mental.

I’ve noticed a few people questioning his use of the word “dynamic”. By definition dynamic means energetic. In music the term is used for volume. We say a song is dynamic when it has a range in volumes like in classical music. But when he says a single snare or bass hit has dynamics he isn’t referring to dynamic change. He’s referring to its energy and perceived volume.

First off, Mr. Stevenson seems to be an accomplished musician and engineer. That said, I listened to his music on KZitem Music and found it lacking in punch. It's indeed limited but I think there's a way to have both consistency and transients. Maybe parallel dynamics and distortion are two ways and judicious transient designing is another. In the example at 2:59 where he compares an unlimited mix and the limited one, he could've turned down the snare and boosted the overall level. Then he wouldn't need to smash the whole thing so much. This way he could retain dynamics while having higher RMS level. A lot of this is taste. If you like flattened, crispy records then that's your prerogative. I think that, instead of an all-or-nothing approach, we can both not fear limiters but also let in a little level dynamics for more punch and deeper depth.

Many masters are clipped by very very expensive units that add a nice jump out the speakers pop (distortion) that is not audible but allows for dynamics to still be perceived (as loud) without destroying the mix and making the limiter/s work hard pushing down transients causing some unwanted saturation. You can clip with many things to saturate stuff. Compressors, amps, distortion units, tape. If the unit clips, it's worth hearing what kind of saturation it can achieve and if it's useful. 'clippers' especially good ones are usually for more control and versatility because they usually have thresholds you can move, instead of having to crank gain into a unit so it clips.

Even aside from the dilemma of the battle between snappy transients/room in the mix vs. a wall that smacks you in the face and can sound more ''dynamic'' for it, dynamics aren't just overal amplitude either, it's also the freqs it's coming from. It reminds me of things a lot of rappers do, you'd think a straight pulse on the lead element of the track would sound straight and boring, right? Until you consider all the expression that can go into what looks like a straight pulse from one perspective, maybe you rhyme every third word for a polymetric feel, then you alternate two rhymes in a different pattern to end the polyrhythm, while saying every second word louder for an upbeat feel, while raising your general pitch every last 3 8th's of each bar, while adding some of this there, doing some of that there etc. And all that is bouncing off the groove of everything else, just like how one note sounds so different over the course of your harmony. That's another thing I learned, I LOVE colorful harmony, but certain colors are locked behind leaving stuff out, think of some exotic pentatonic scales etc. The point is, there's unique grooves locked behind things that some would think automatically make things less groovy, and this applies to so many things just like dynamics and note selection, there's no hard rules in music and the best course of action can seem contradictory to your goal, guidelines exist, but they're not universal and definitely never the only way.
@calvinschatzke5899

On some elements it's really necessary but not on everything. U would destroy the nice dynamic contrast and end up with an amateur mix. But having a clipper right before the limiter in the mastering chain makes the limiter work sooo much better if u know how to use it . But the kick's & snare's transient for example should trigger the limiter most and that's why I think they should preserve enough transient information. DON'T join the loudness war, friends. Lets making some art instead.

Baphometrix also proves this (in a good natured disagreement with Dan Worrell) where Bapho uses a Clipper on every track and Clips to Zero Db. If you use KClip you can also easily test the clipping since KClip has an Auto Gain function so the volume decreases whilst you push the signal into the clipper, and then you can reset the volume. This helps isolate the clipping vs just more gain.

Although I enjoy listening to dance music, it's just squashed too loud, cause everyone wants their music heard above the rest. Music sytems have gotten so much more powerful that it's really not necessary, though. And listening in headphones puts your ears through hell. Cause the perception of the sound is dynamic, when its actually just a cacophony of noise for them to process. I'd rather make and listen to music that people want to turn up, rather than have it rhetorically loud, regardless of whether or not its good. I remember being in music college with a guy who made shitty dubstep, and he played his stuff ridiculously loudly to me, boppin along, and I was like "making it louder doesn't make it sound better". Many times I mix/EQ with a LOWER volume, because I can actually hear the vibe and dynamics properly.

Don't think of trying to achieve super low LUFS readings as a necessity. Think of it as a 'flavor' or 'vibe'. "It sounds like dance music"... Yeah, a particular kind of dance music. If that's your jam, then it's your jam. IMO extremely compressed mixes are just as much of a fad as gated reverb on snares was in the 80s. It's a sound that belongs to a window in time (late 2000s-early 2010s) and had it's 'heyday' at that time (think Nero, Skrillex etc). If it suits your genre, then fine, do what you gotta do and squish that shit. If it makes things sound better to you, then do it. BUT! It's no longer necessary to squish every sound be competitive. You don't need to feel insecure about your mixes if you're not hitting ridiculously low LUFS readings. Beyond -8 LUFS and lower, if you're squishing out of insecurity, you're just throwing audio information away for the sake of numbers. The bigger the sound system, IMO the better a dynamic mix sounds (conversely, a more compressed mix will sound better the smaller and less powerful the sound system), so if you're making music for the club, for my tastes, I say keep it dynamic! Or if you like the sound of over compression, keep it squished. In other words, you do you.

I think it might be beneficial to point out that you are dealing with actual recorded waves vs softsynths, as well as the fact that in some DAWs, you won't hear the damage done by clipping until you render it... And are you clipping the sound, or clipping the output... Because it seems like your saying you can clip your master channel and it's not a bad thing... While mixing in the red does have its benefits, at least if you dont understand sound dynamics, it's never ideal... However using a clipper or a soft clipper as an effect when everything is leveled correctly has great benefits to your sound... I just deal with having to explain this dichotomy to noobs constantly because they we watch a video like this and think your saying it's ok to smash there sub into the master.

2:12 nope. It does not sound more dynamic, it just sounds louder. I also think that perceived dynamics exist. When we clip something that is dynamic, the dynamics are converted into distortion levels (louder parts get distorted more and quieter parts might not even reach the clipper threshold). So in short, if you are losing dynamics in amplitude, you are gaining dynamics in distortion (and energy). I totally agree with this. But this comparison of both the kicks and one sounding more dynamic than the first is stupid. Both sound wayyy different from each other. This does not sound like a fair comparison. (This might be wrong but worth a shot) I would like to propose a fair comparison: have both the kick samples levelled on equal loudness (LUFS) and then try to compare it.

He's boosting the volume of the snare into a clipper on the master for maximum sub bass.

@@SolStateMusic hey thanks for the answer, so if I understand correctly the limiter is only shaving off the high frequencies where the transient is while the lows of the snare are being enhanced?

it seems like you are using the word "dynamic" as if it means "loud" but it does not. Dynamic is how far apart in volume the quite parts are compared to the loud parts. A song can be more dynamic and less loud at the same time......

This video has an HUGE flaw, visually analysing dynamics by exclusively looking at the waveform instead of at a spectrogram. A spectrogram would have shown and explained the dynamics still present in a hard clipped sound.

I think the point was loudness (aka compression) is kinda the sound of dance music. If dance music was super dynamic, like a symphony or something, it wouldn't sound as good.

I have yet to understand how some producers manage to reach -1.5/-2 LUFS in the drop (without destroying the track), for example on Jaron - Sonder or San Holo - bb u ok? (Lizdek Remix)
@ilya6355

Apparently you can do it by having quieter parts of the track. Unlike RMS which measures loudness of past few seconds LUFS is calculated for all track (2-3 minutes) and if you stay under -14 LUFS overall (for most streaming platforms) , by having quieter parts you can have really loud parts for short amount of time

@@robbielinden448 MB you don't understand what dynamic means either. Dynamics refer to the changes in volume of the material. This dude is playing kick drum samples, saying the compressed one sounds more dynamic. In as much as a kick drum dample can be dynamic, the compressed one is, by definition, less so. You might like it better. It may sound louder. But it is, without a doubt, less dynamic.

He says "digital clipping" when he means "hard clipping". Digital clipping is almost impossible to do under normal circumstances, when working in-DAW, most DAW's work with at least 32-bit floating point integers for internal audio, which means enough dynamic range for most practical work without true digital distortion.

You'd have to use a multi and limiter on just the snare, or just engineer the snare sound beforehand to squash the high end but still have a punchy fundamental. I don't recommend it in general tho because a snappy high end is what helps give a snare its punch, as that snap essentially mimics the snappy sound of absolutely smashing a real snare drum. It tricks your brain into believing that the snare is incredibly loud because it has the sound signature of a very, very loud snare.

Im not sure you are using the word dynamic in the correct sense… dynamics in music is the contrast between loud and soft…the varying levels of volume of sound in different parts of a musical performance. the more you compress, the less dynamic your song will be, because then the whole track will have relatively the same perceived volume/energy…think about modern pop songs when an artist sings vs whispers, or verse into chorus.. if the whisper has the same perceived volume as when the singer is belting out the chorus, then it isn’t very dynamic…(this happens when the whole song is over compressed) a extremely dynamic vocal performance will cause you to want to turn the vocal up during a whisper and cause you to want to turn the volume down during the belting chorus… this measurement is dynamics… the difference between perceived volume…. (High and low) If you compress the whole song then the whisper becomes the same volume as the yelling and belting… this is not very dynamic… the greater the Difference in perceived volumes is the measure of dynamics… if you just compress one sound the sound becomes less dynamic by default..( the quiet part of the sound becomes closer to the loud part of the sound, as the loud part gets squashed and the quiet part gets boosted, creating less difference between the too, thus, less dynamic… )
