I noticed aiming for a good loudness (-9 LUFS) I'm always stuggling with drums transients.
I end up with something like 5 or 6 dB of gain reduction on snare hits; lowering snare track with fader or using saturation (tape or soft clipping) "helps", but doesn't solve the problem (since everybody talks about 1-2 dB fo GR maximum on their final limiter). Where am I wrong? Is it a desperate fight looking for loud, punchy drums and good mix/master RMS?
