August Mastering Check...Wild Thoughts...DJ Khaled

7/27/2017

 
For August we will pull another one off of the Billboard Top Ten, this one is at number 2 this week.  The song is 'Wild Thoughts' by D. J. Khaled.  Mastered by Chris Athens.  Compare it to last month's pick and we can see that it is even worse.   The numbers are as follows.

LKFS                             -6.8 dB
True Peak                   +1.3 dB
Left Channel     Clipped Samples 19,936
Right Channel   Clipped Samples 13,137

July Mastering Check...DJ Khaled, I'm The One

7/5/2017

 
As we start the second half of 2017, we pick another #1 pick from Billboard's top ten.  
The mastering engineer was Chris Athens.  

The numbers...

LKFS                    -6.3 dB
True Peak          +1.1 dB
Dynamic Range  1.7 dB
Left Channel Clipped Samples   6179
Right Channel Clipped Samples 8207
DC offset -.085%

Refer to previous blogs to understand the meaning of these...

Below see the overall waveform and the zoomed in waveform. Another pathetic attempt.
​I am not going to bother to try to fix it.  Just keeping track of the current ineptness in mastering.
