That certainly makes for interesting reading. What it will mean, from my own view point, will be either more expensive electronics for cleaner outputs/less noise, or even more inferior hissy cheap playback devices to keep costs of manufacturing down in the consumer market.
I don't know if it has room for live production environments though like radio studios. In a live environment, there's already audio processing tools and mixing consoles to do the same thing, we don't need to re-invent the wheel there. End user device control sure. As for recording labels.... there's no way you can remove the temptation for a half a dB of clipping more from a competitive market (unless we lived in a perfect world). But end user devices and distribution like iTunes, sure.... that makes good sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eliot Blennerhassett" <el...@blennerhassett.gen.nz> To: <rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org> Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 9:09 AM Subject: Re: [RDD] level normalization > On 17/07/12 07:00, Fernando Della Torre wrote: >> Hello folks! >> >> I know this question has been here before and some of you have a >> particular point of view about normalization as a way to keep levels >> (peaks) at the desired numbers for technical and security reasons, as >> avoid clipping. >> >> But at the same time, once we use peak normalizing there will be a great >> loudness difference between the songs, and it's not good when you have >> no operador to bring the faders up and take them down. > > You mighty find this relevant > > http://music-loudness.com/PDFs/Loudness_Alliance_White_Paper_final_v1.pdf > > "The Music Loudness Alliance is a group of audio technical and > production experts led by Florian Camerer and consists of Florian and > audio engineers Eelco Grimm, Kevin Gross, Bob Katz, Bob Ludwig and > Thomas Lund.
