Hello, first post here. I searched for similar topics, but couldn't really find one. i hope i'm at the right place for this.
This is more of a workflow question. I'm generally a one-man-band-video editor/sound mixer. Often i have to deal with multiple types of presentation. Television, youtube, facebook, etc. For Television (netherlands/europe) the loudness standard is often -23LUFS. Now i know there are no strict rules, but i wonder what the most frequently used technique is. should i first create a mix as loud/full as possible, and then adjust/compress the overall volume down to match the loudness specification for each platform? or start off with a mix that is created with -23LUFS in mind, and adjust/compress the overall volume up for internet/social purposes? fact is that i cannot create a entire new mix for each platform, there is simply no time/budget for that, (and i also wonder if that is really gonna make things sound better, i rather keep the same dynamics for everything)
anyone with some experience in this that cares to share some thoughts around this subject?
