This is different from peak normalization which matches the maximum peak of the audio.) (note: Loudness normalization matches the average loudness of each track. This means the louder track no longer sounds like it has more clarity or a richer bass. When a loud track and a quiet track are normalized to the same loudness, the tonal balance comparison becomes unbiased. The unavoidable result of pushing loudness too much is that transients are lost, dynamic range is reduced and distortion muddies the sound. This is because we perceive louder songs to have clearer highs and a fuller low-end than quieter songs. What does this mean for you as an artist, music producer, or audio engineer?īefore audio normalization and streaming sites, most music was compressed and limited to achieve maximum possible loudness. These sites turn down louder songs to keep the playback level consistent across all tracks.
It’s important to understand how these sites deliver audio so you can give your listeners the best possible experience. Youtube, Spotify, and other music streaming sites are now firmly established as the preferred method of music consumption for listeners.
