Thoughts about Loudness and Dynamic Range (Patreon)
Content
Here's some thoughts about audio dynamic range nad music loudness.
I'm touching upon many topics like LUFS, loudness wars, loudness normalisation, limiting etc. I talk about how I determine the loudness of my albums and music releases and why and what hurst me about how music publishers insist on the music to be devoid of any dynamics at all.
In the video's description there's also a list of very valuable videos others made you may want to watch to widen your understanding of the subject.
Most of them have been compiled into a YouTube playlist by Ian Shepherd, who's himself taught me a lot about mastering, loundess and audio in general through his excellent podcast called "The Mastering Show". If you're srous about audio production in any sense - I recommend you just drop this into your podcacher and listen from the first episode onwards during your commutes, bike rides etc. It's well worth the time.
Enjoy!
