Show Notes
It was the Grammys this week - you can't have missed it !
And somewhere along the way I saw an article by Ian Vargo assessing the loudness and dynamics of the nominees for Best Song.
In this episode I talk about what he discovered, and what my reaction is – and along the way, I talk about:
- The highest (and lowest !) LUFS measurements of the Best Song nominees
- How I feel about that
- What these songs sound like with more dynamics
- What difference does it make ?
- Is loudness really "part of the aesthetic" ?
- And what really does make a difference ?
