Playback medium is another consideration. At the 2:10 mark I had my cell (Droid Maxx) set at 80% volume on a hard surface (about 1/4" between "stereo" speakers and the table). Where it shifts to "master" is profound to me, and not in a good way. That test (for my phone anyway) is good for both collapsing to mono and checking frequency crossover bands.

I didn't see the comment referenced above, but agree with the preference.

Try dropping the mastered version in a playlist, and adjusting levels for the other songs in the playlist. It's a "singles" world, songs no longer exist in isolation, and this is a reality mastering engineers cannot ignore.
 
Playback was tested on several emulations of "real-world" playback media via Audiffied's Mixchecker. With people listening on everything from $1 earbuds, to laptop speakers, to tablets, to smart phones, there is no way to create a master that will sound as intended on all media. The object is to minimize the tradeoffs.
 
When I recently mastered the solo CD for Bryan Ferry's lead guitarist, his main concern was that it would sound good over headphones, because he believed that's how the majority of people would hear it. He's probably right.

2 bugs:
1、After update to 201706,press Ctrl and change color of the seletect tracks are unavailable.
2、When using ripple editing,unsing undo and redo editing midi in PRV sometimes result in overlaping notes and extra notes(which is not written by me).
 
 

1. It works if the tracks are selected, e.g., Smart Swipe the tracks you want to color, hold Ctrl, and any color you select for any track will affect all selected tracks.
2. According to the eZine: "Note that Ripple Editing is designed to work in Track View, not Piano Roll View." See if doing redo/undo while in Track View solves the problem.

Hello, an option for the view counter to always be in rms when opening a new project, as well as the modules are the same ones that have been chosen in the transport bar, thanks

Quick grouping of color selection in both Track view and Console view stopped working on my system with [2017.06].  Tried both Mercury and Tungsten themes.  Rolling back to [2017.05] solves the problem.
