You know the mastering is quality (/s) when the audio peaks at **3dBTP**. Yes, CDs can go beyond full scale after reconstruction. Light grey area = 0dBFS. Top is "dumb" CD audio (no waveform interpolation), bottom is after oversampling/interpolation. DACs don't like this.pic.twitter.com/ODFSSZExhz
I was doing vocal extraction and this happened. Turns out I was applying 70% scaling (-3.09dB) to guard against overshoots... and this is the first song ever to exceed that. And libsndfile by default does not saturate, but *wraps* on float to int conversions (?!?!?).pic.twitter.com/YuoTL5uxDa
I also noticed that it isn't even cut properly. The song ends like this (dB view). There's a reverb tail that just gets... abruptly cut off. The remainder is quantization noise, with a slow DC wobble before settling to +0/+1 LSB. The reverb getting cut off is clearly audible...pic.twitter.com/KfY52GOHn1
I knew I was going to regret running the LUFS numbers for t his one but... yup. -5.7 dB LUFS. Loudest song I've seen so far.pic.twitter.com/cTvnpQ0PIL

Was it clipping during mastering? Seems difficult to me to get something that bad without. I think on average for a random music containing band limited signal the peak sample shouldn't be much below the true peak... but clipping it will give you lots of ringing that overshoots.
Probably a combination of aggressive limiting and some clipping at the end. It's all somewhat clipped like this, but there are no long stretches of clipping, so it's definitely had a pretty aggressive limiter applied.pic.twitter.com/0sge3hZqAO
Super Audio Cd's are pretty amazing spec wise too I think the quality mostly comes from the properly funded mastering rather than the improved sample rates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Audio_CD …
CDs are capable of reproducing the entirety of the human hearing range in all but laboratory/anechoic chamber test conditions. You can take any SACD, convert it to CD, and it will be effectively indistinguishable in any practical setting, assuming the playback equipment is decent
loudness wars getting a bit rediculous
This is terrible. Hopefully things like this is going to help (I don't know these people and this is not an endorsement of any products for sale):https://www.masteringthemix.com/blogs/learn/76296773-mastering-audio-for-soundcloud-itunes-spotify-and-youtube …
