Naw. It's a miniscule dBV difference. You have a monitor controller before your monitors? You adjust volume on your smartphone? Same thing....
I have read it. I read it before you posted it and now when you posted it (if I really had missed anything). But I didn't miss anything. I know...
No. What loss would that be? Not really sure what you are referring to. Are you talking about "louder sounds better" and the equal loudness-curve...
It does not kill dynamics. For some reason you have got it backwards. :) Loudness normalization makes sure loudness stays consistant, but allows...
I just like dynamics. I hope for the loudness war to end soon (so I embrace loudness normalization). But that's just me.
Reading back, it sounds like you missunderstood what loudness normalization is. Maybe I'm wrong.
Get back to me in 5 years and let me know if you think the same then. :) The whole point of loudness normalization is that all dynamic ranges...
Interesting! Do you mean *Decapitator (Soundtoys)? Yes, it's also lovely. But I like the "dynamics" parameter in this one.
Yep. But Spotify does loudness normalization, if you have that option turned on (which I like to have). [holy shit! That's a big image]: [IMG]
It was destructive in the 16bit days (96dB dynamic range). ofc now with 32bit float internal processing (and export) you have 1680dB of dynamics....
No. Upward expansion is expansion (over threshold). :) [IMG] I meant upward compression, as in parallel compression, which seems to be what the...
I don't use average RMS. I aim at -12 to -10LUFS. Most platforms normalize to around -14, but I still think -12 to -10 sounds a bit better...
Short answer: upward compression https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/parallel-compression
I learned Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, etc for graphics. Then also Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, etc for video. I dove head in...
I don't use it, since I'm older and come from an era when it was a destructive operation to normalize. I rather use proper gain-staging.
Turn.things.down.
The only music that is/was damaging to the world was/is General MIDI music (AKA GM music). It destroyed some movies and TV-series during the late...
You are obviously mixing too loud. Learn proper gain-staging. Turn everything else down. Subtractive mixing is key. You have 1680dB of internal...
Oh, crap. You are right! They were founded in 1994. My bad, totally.
"Demogroup 2R2". How innocent that sounds. Ah, flashbacks.
