Are the stems mastered?
#1
Just downloaded the stems to this and by the looks of it the track is mastered which makes it quite difficult to apply my own creative touch, compression etc.

I've attached a screen shot of the waveform, if this isnt the master then the mixdown is very badly squashed.

The loudness meter readings are as follows:

Integrated. -1.4 LUFS (Popular streaming services recommend between -16/ -13 LUFS for mastered tracks.

True Peak. + 13.5 dbTP

R.M.S - -0.3 dBFS

Peak - +13.5 dBFS - this track is PEAKING at +13.5! no way can this be a mixdown? Anyone shed any light on this, hoping to mix and use the mixdown in a mastering dissertation i'm doing at uni but if the files are already mastered makes things quite hard. thanks.
