April 2019 - 'You Say' from Lauren Daigle

4/2/2019

 
This month we will look at one of the current top 40.  It is 'You Say' by Lauren Daigle.  It is a well crafted song with good lyrics and could have had better production and mastering.  Anyway, here are the numbers:

LKFS/LUFS                      -8.4 dB
Clipped Samples Left       55
Clipped Samples Right     18
DC Offset                       +.021%, +.019%
Dynamic Range              12.2 dB
RMS Level Left              -8.25 dB
RMS Level Right            -8.46 dB

You will notice it is about average in level for today's pop crop at -8.4 dB.  There are 55 clipped samples left and 18 clipped samples right, which you could guess from the RMS left to right level difference of .21 dB.  The dynamic range of the song is good at 12.2 dB, and the DC Offset is off by .021% and .019% respectively.  Even though the recording and mixing could have been better, all of these faults are from the mastering engineer.  

This artist seems to be a person of integrity and it is great to see someone like this in the top 40, where decent people and integrity are so rarely found.  We wish her all the best.
