Specific steps to diagnose and fix mix too loud / over-limited in your Logic Pro mixes
An over-limited mix sounds squashed and lifeless. Streaming platforms will turn it DOWN to match their target, so all that loudness work is wasted.
In Logic Pro, mix too loud / over-limited is caused by integrated LUFS being too high with low dynamic range. This is a universal mixing issue — it happens regardless of which DAW you use. The problem is in the audio itself, not the software.
