  • To me, the loudness is too low. Also, the problem might not be mastering but mixing. First, I'd find a commercial reference to understand what your track needs. If your perceived volume is too low, but there's no headroom, there might be very low frequencies you should filter out or sharp transients and spikes you should limit. Also, perceived presence and loudness depend a lot on your mid frequencies. Try mixing your track while listening to it through a band-pass filter centered on 1 kHz. If you can make it sound clear while it seems to come through a telephone, it will sound present and "loud" when listening to its entire frequency spectrum. I hope this helps.

    • thank you! i'll follow your suggestion and see what i can do!
