Melodic Techno Frequency Spectrum vs. Pink Noise
Five Melodic Techno records measured against pink noise, every track gain-matched to -14 LUFS:
- Anyma “Consciousness”
- Argy “Aria”
- Kevin de Vries “Metro”
- John Summit “Shiver”
- RÜFÜS “In the Moment (Adriatique Extended Remix)”
Melodic techno stacks sub and bass together at 5–6 dB over pink, with the kick peaking at 53–76 Hz and the sub kept fairly narrow. Above 250 Hz the curve flattens quickly: the low mids sit slightly above pink, the midrange on it, and the top end slopes to 2–4 dB below. There is no snare outline in this set: the percussion lives in the bass and in the prominent mid layers rather than a discrete snare.

Melodic Techno Full Reference Stack: Peak, Average, and Stereo Width curves
Average (filled) and peak (dashed) spectra of every reference, with the stereo width strip below. Width is the side-to-mid level per frequency, averaged over the analyzed section: 0 dB means the sides are as loud as the centre, MONO means there is no difference between left and right at all.
