Well, yes, loud, because with my RME Babyface, the meters of TotalMixFX are all in the red, constantly, and that is all I can say, no matter if I turn it down or not, and that was also -10dB less on another setting. So not distorting but to me, loud recording. Otherwise it showed less output overall, like -14dB or so not reaching zero db, but makes me wonder why your song does that as well as some other utube videos also, not the majority of videos though. Compression and limiting?? Otherwise nice song and all of that.
