I nearly wept the first time I loaded a Skrillex track into FL studio with the limiter turned off and saw -6 and -4 lufs. And I thought mixing to -10 lufs was hard...
Anytime I've run a volume check on mainstream EDM tracks they generally land around -7 to -5 lufs, and are also peaking around +3db which made me realize I don't understand mastering the way I thought.
But yeah, the default volume on this site is unusually loud. I always turn to volume on my computer way down before I even try to listen to anything.
