In Reply to: But wouldn't the true dynamic range be the difference. . . posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 25, 2021 at 12:17:47:
This site is a weapon in the Loudness Wars and they were/are all about increasing the average level so it is closer to the technical maximum of 0dBfs.
The minimum level remains -96dBfs as prescribed by the compact disc medium.
It is of no interest in the Loudness Wars, only the difference between average and maximum is.
