So the first thing that you see after you create the mixdown, since I actually undid the hard limiter on the final mix, I did not include it this time.

And then I would probably hard limit afterwards somewhere around negative five. I'm just looking at the waveform to do this.

And from here, I'm going to check out what the loudness value is for this stereo file, and negative 18. So we're pretty close to…
