House Frequency Spectrum vs. Pink Noise
Five House records measured against pink noise, every track gain-matched to -14 LUFS:
- Disclosure “She’s Gone, Dance On”
- Sonny Fodera “Somedays”
- CINTHIE “Piano Heaven”
- Peggy Gou “(It Goes Like) Nanana”
- Solardo “Forever”
House puts its weight in the bass rather than the sub: 60–250 Hz is the loudest region at 8 dB over pink, while the sub itself varies a lot from track to track. From the low mids up the balance tapers gently to about 5 dB under pink in the air, with a moderately wide stereo image through the mids and highs.
