Genre-specific issues that MixDiagnose flags automatically
In pop, the vocal is everything. It must sit clearly above the instrumental — present, intimate, and in-your-face without harshness. MixDiagnose measures your mid-range (250 Hz-2 kHz) and high-mid (2-5 kHz) energy against pop references like Dua Lipa and The Weeknd, flagging when vocals are buried, when the mix lacks presence, or when harshness creeps in at 3-5 kHz.
Pop mixes need a controlled, punchy low end — not the overwhelming sub of hip hop, but enough to feel the kick and bass. Pop references target -20 dB sub-bass and -12 dB bass. MixDiagnose measures your low-end energy, detects sub-30 Hz rumble, and flags when your bass is too heavy or too thin for the genre.
Pop mixes sound polished — bright, clean, and competitive. The highs (5-16 kHz) need air and sheen without harshness. MixDiagnose checks your high-frequency balance against pop references, flagging when the mix is too dull (lacking sheen) or too bright (harsh and fatiguing).
Pop is loud and competitive — references sit around -9 LUFS integrated. But streaming platforms normalize to -14 LUFS, so you need to sound good at both levels. MixDiagnose measures integrated LUFS, true peak, and crest factor, telling you exactly where you stand against pop targets and streaming platform standards.

→ Run Pop Mix Analysis FreePop reference tracks typically land around -9 LUFS integrated. For a pre-master mix, aim for -14 to -16 LUFS. MixDiagnose measures your integrated LUFS and compares it against pop genre targets automatically.
Carve space in the instrumental at 200-500 Hz and 2-4 kHz where the vocal lives, use compression to control dynamics, and check your mid-range balance. MixDiagnose flags when your mid-range energy masks the vocal and compares your balance against pop references.
Pop needs brightness and air above 8 kHz. If your highs are too quiet, the mix sounds lifeless. MixDiagnose checks your high-frequency balance (5-16 kHz) against pop references and flags when the mix lacks sheen.
