7 Ways To Make Your Mix Sound More Full & Loud

In this article, we will tell you the secrets of how to make your sound fuller and louder. Although with the new regulations about streaming loudness limits the Loudness war is almost over. But still many modern music genres can sound better with a loud master and harmonic richness. You will learn some of the best methods to get the perfect loudness level and rich sound. So, without wasting any time, let's jump right in.
Use a peak compressor

Use Saturation plugins like Thickify to enhance the sound
Adding the harmonics to the sound is a great way to make the sound full and loud without changing the gain level. Saturation can add important harmonics and enhance them. This effect, especially around the fundamental harmonic can enhance the overall character, perceived loudness and overall character of the sound.
With Thickify, you can decide whether you want to add even or odd harmonics. The automatic gain compensation in thickify can maintain the balance between input and output gain. This prevents the audio to clip while making the overall sound fat and loud.
Use Maximizer

Shape the accurate tonal balance
The tonal balance of sound has a great role in deciding the perceived loudness of sound. The Equal-loudness contour, shows the relation of sound pressure level with frequency. The research shows the relation of loudness with frequency. This relation can be used to get a better tonal balance with the focus on loudness. Our ears are most sensitive to the frequency range of 2k to 5k Hz. Boosting these frequencies or decreasing the frequency around them can give a sense of loudness and richness. But make sure to not overdo it.
Use longer samples/notes/audio
This is a rather less known concept among the producers. Two samples of the same or different kinds (for example kickdrum) can be perceived at different levels by our ears depending on their length. In synth terminology, these are known as decay and sustain. A longer kickdrum will sound louder than a short sample.
You can use this method to create important headroom in your soundtrack. For example, using a short kickdrum will leave headroom for bass while at the same time sound less loud. The drum bus can be enhanced or tonally reconfigured to make sound harmonic rich.
Use a soft clipper or limiter

Limiters, on the other hand, give the option to control the ADSR(Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) of the sound. These are the most used mastering plugins for attaining a loud and full sound. FGX by slate digital is the best limiter available in the market.
Use parallel compression

Conclusion
These are some of the best methods to make the soundtrack loud and full. Using these tips and tricks, you can certainly mix and master your soundtrack professionally.
