In Reply to: "Loudness Normalization" may be the answer to compression. posted by M-dB on October 28, 2014 at 10:54:19:
There are two problems with "loudness normalization".... One is deviation in waveform fidelity relative to the original signal, because there is loss of precision in the conversion. The same signal is handled by fewer bits, in most cases. (This is a conversion that would benefit from dithering.) Two is that the normalization is applied by the consumer, *after* the recording was already dynamically compressed.... Once you lose it, you cannot get it back. You'll just hear the same compression at a lower volume.
The only way "loudness normalization" would work is it it were to be applied prior to limiting or dynamic compression during the *recording* process.... By the engineers at the studio.... But it seems like too few producers are willing to put out a recording that's demonstrably lower in perceived volume than the competition.
