Progressive House Frequency Spectrum vs. Pink Noise
Five Progressive House records measured against pink noise, every track gain-matched to -14 LUFS:
- Swedish House Mafia “Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit)”
- Zedd “Clarity”
- Martin Garrix “Told You So”
- Alesso “Surrender”
- Martin Garrix “Repeat It”
Progressive house is balanced rather than bass-heavy: sub, bass and low mids all sit 3–4 dB over pink, the midrange follows at +2.6, and the top end rolls off to about 5 dB under.
