The Mastering Show #93 - Do you NEED to be mastering loud ?


Listen Later

I’m always arguing for balanced dynamics rather than loudness for it’s own sake, but some people have a different opinion - high loudness is important, and even beneficial.

Nick Di Lorenzo is one of them - he says that loudness is important regularly on his YouTube channel. So in this episode I invited him on to explore that idea in more detail, and really get into the nuances of the topic. Do you need to be mastering loud ? Topics include:

* The practicalities of loudness

* What makes things sound loud anyway ?

* Record labels versus loudness

* Why loudness IS important

* Why LUFS don’t matter, and

* The difference between loudness and LUFS
