September 2017 Mastering Check...Bodak Yellow - Cardi B

8/25/2017

 
It is September already and time to look at another one.  The top 2 spots on the Billboard list have already been covered in this blog, so we go to number 3...'Bodak Yellow' by Cardi B and mastered by Evan LaRay Brunson.  

The LKFS number is -9.7dB, The true peak is +0.6dB,  clipped samples left 963, clipped samples right 696, DC offset left .008%, DC offset right .007%.  The dynamic range is 4.0 dB.

The LKFS of -9.7dB is at least not as bad as the -6 numbers we have seen.  The clipped samples we have also seen much worse.  The EQ curve is not unusual for hip-hop.

Since it appears that people do not understand the whole loudness controversy, I think I will have to put out an article or video to explain it.  I may work on that this spring.  Seeing that it has been a problem for over 20 years, it is time to have it explained so that everyone can understand it.  Stay tuned.

Anyway, here is the evidence for this one...
