Hey my name is Rich, I'm huge into music production. Recently I've ran into this brick wall, an endless loop of struggling to understand and failing to be able to create a loud mix without it distorting in my car. On one end I've created mixes that don't in the past, radio music is much louder than mine and doesn't distort, but no where in my gain staging is clipping. I'm just limiting at the end to get a LUFS of around -12. I only hear this distortion at high volumes in my car, not my monitors or headphones. Other tracks sound fine at max volume. My mix is not clipping at all, has no inter sample peaks and has a relatively low RMS compared to other songs, it's not squashed that hard. Please help!
