Let’s face it, LUFS don’t work.

No-one understands them, when you set a load of different songs to -14 LUFS they all sound a different loudness, and they weren’t even developed using music. RMS is just better, right ?

These are just some of the objections we’ve been hearing about LUFS recently, and in this episode we investigate them. Is there any truth to these claims and statements ? (Hint - Yes !)

Along the way we also cover:

* Why loudness is like the weather

* How EQ affects loudness, and how we hear it

* Loudness on the radio

* The ideal podcast loudness

* What’s up with Spotify’s loudness recommendation
