This is huge - Apple have finally started using LUFS for their loudness normalisation, which means all the major streaming services now use the same method to measure loudness !

And perhaps more importantly, they’ve enable Sound Check by default on new devices. As always there are plenty of devilish details to be aware of though, so in this episode we talk in detail about this change, including:

* Why it’s so important

* How much music online is REALLY normalised anyway ?

* Why the answer is surprising to many musicians and engineers

* Why Apple finally made this change

* A few quirks and gotchas

* Why it’s good news

* And what to do about it (and what NOT to do!)
