Obviously something does not translate very well.FG-A is deployed as a module within Slate Digital’s Virtual Mix Rack 2. When playing track back in Apple Music on my computer, it sounds ok, but when listening on a phone with noise cancelling earbuds or headphones it is dramatic. But when running it through my final 'mastering' steps, it comes out with annoying dynamical changes to both the piano and the hihats in headsets. It might be a piano, some drums (hihats mostly) and maybe a B3 organ only with a crescendo of 0,3dB over 20 secs or so, and I cannot really hear that in the mix (more feeling it). Sometimes a quiet part is brought up disturbingly high.

I often put the Ozone Maximizer on the master bus to bounce something with an ok level for my intermediate mix evaluations. Another struggle I see is some dynamics issue. So how handle an issue like this? I guess the music I am making is more is the progressive/classical lane (although use plenty of synths) than current pop music, especially since it sees a lot of sudden changes and dynamics. Compressing them don't sound good (maybe I do it wrong?), Using a clipper brings in some distortion I don't like. Turning down volume on the snare or what ever is causing them, change the sound I am after. I got some of those in my mix and don't know what to do with them. Finally, you showed an image of a waveform with very dominant transients. This is one big black whole for me, I always end up going round in circles. Thanks a lot! is referring to the snares a couple of times, could you shed some light on that issues on Day2? Also can't wait to learn more about gain staging.

Thought is was very good - insightful and fun.

Hi guys! Just watched the day 1 videos as I could not attend IRT.
