Hardwell Loudness of his song (technical question)

[DanWilinski]

Lots of interesting replies, i think that having few instruments helps alot in boosting the sound and even have the feeling that there are still dynamics in it.

But when having a robust arrangement with many instruments in it its more difficult, everything get squashed and no dynamics anymore.

Thx again for all responses

Okay so I know this is an old thread but I learnt a tip from a friend if you put a bit crusher on before you compress the sound turn the RES right up and the drive right down and tehe sampler down it acts as a kind of clipping so you can turn the channel up with a gain even before it hits the compressor and prevents clipping it works brilliantly to get that bit extra from your sounds!!
