I'm working on a remix of some music my band recorded in the late 90s. The engineer had the final mix at -12 RMS and -.5 for clipping. My mix, when finished and even with a peak limited on it, has an RMS of -19.5. I'm actually find with that number because one reason I wanted to remix is that I wanted to lower the volume. But I am confused as to why I can't get as high an RMS as he did. Does this imply that I am mixing something dynamic, like the drums, louder than he did and that's giving me less headroom?
