Slayer 9,227 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I don't know how I've only just listened to Perfect Illusion on headphones for the first time (I'm usually blaring it out of my speakers), but I've noticed something really weird about the volume at the start of the song. It's like the volume starts off loud for the electronic "squeal" (that's the only way I can describe it), and then when the guitars riff, it's like the volume dips. Then it turns up again for the second squeal, then down again, and so on until the song starts. I know there were some other people talking about the volume problems - is this what they meant? Is this a mixing error or something? It sounds like a mistake to me and it's really jarring, but I assume it was just a stylistic decision because surely Gaga wouldn't be that negligent...? I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It was intentional. The volume increases at the chorus. Indie artists usually do this! "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I don't see that. What annoys me is how loud the chorus is compared to the verses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's not well done. If it's intentional, it's not good. The mastering, mixing, whatever you call it, is awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I love the song and video but I do wish the volume levels were all the same. It hurts my ears when it suddenly gets louder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indie artists usually do this! i think it's because it's her last album with Interscope they didn't care anymore they let her loose ,no strings (not that it's a bad thing) but Gaga has her limitations .Can't control everything ,like she wants , and some things might slip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ,I don't like that everytime I listen PI on my headphones suddenly it get soo loud and I turn the volume down and it gets too low after a while and the instruments could be a little bit more louder and the production to be more visible also not covering her voice .
