increasing audio levels in recorded music
POPULARITY
In de nieuwste aflevering van de podcast bespreken we het eerste en enige volledige album van de Antwerpse rapper Pepe. Planeet Pepe is meer dan alleen muziek – het is een verhaal, een reflectie van wie Pepe is als artiest en als mens. Verder hebben we het nog uitvoerig over de Loudness War die o.a. Beatboer Tony voert, de muziek die op onze radar staat en over de impact van Eigen Makelij op de Vlaamse scene.Shoutouts:BROCO x PROBLEMATISCHWU TANG x MANDINGOFLATBUSH ZOMBIES x 222 ft.

On this special episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe get together to talk the artists they own the most albums by in their collections. Starting the episode off, Jamie brings the Beatles album "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". Their eighth album, released in 1967, the band began work on this album shortly after retiring from touring in 1966. Many publications have cited this album as being a masterpiece in the Beatles catalogue, and Rolling Stone has named it both the #1 (2003, 2013) and the #24 (2020) album of all time. Bell's pick, Dan Mangan's "Being Somewhere", is his seventh studio album, released in 2022. A nice mix of folk and indie rock, the album was produced by OneDirection guitarist Drew Brown. The single "Fire Escape" had a music video that accompanied it featuring the actor Steven Ogg, perhaps best remembered for playing the character Trevor Philips in Grand Theft Auto V. Finally, Plouffe's pick, the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Californication", their seventh album, released in 1999. An album that was an unfortunate victim of the Loudness War of the late 90s to mid 2000s, the album was the first to include the guitarist John Frusciante in several years. After coming back to the band after nearly dying from a severe drug addiction and a house fire, John's return marked a new period of activity for the band, and they went on to record two more highly regarded albums in the next six years. From this album, the single Scar Tissue earned them a Grammy award. What can we glean about each host from the artists they religiously collect? What will the boys have to say about each record? Come along and find out!

After a Saints victory the guys meet up at the hardwood to record this week show. Join Charlie, Kobi and Joe as they break down how hurricane ida affected them and big things happening at the Void.Feature music of the week is Loudness War with their song "Semolina". Loudness War has been crafting fuzzy riffs and weirdo rock since forming in 2014. Originally a secret recording project duo, the now four-piece band has released 7 albums and EPs, spanning sludgy sabbath influence to sunny psychedelia.
Our next guest accepts that he has become “The Loudness Guy.” So buckle up! This is an audiophile master course where we'll discuss everything from what the heck is “U-matic” to did Metallica make the loudest record ever?Ian Shepherd is a professional mastering engineer, owner of Mastering Media Ltd., and host of “The Mastering Show” podcast. Over twenty some years he's worked on thousands of CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays for all of the major record labels, TV stations and independents. He's worked on number one singles and award winning albums, with clients from The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to Deep Purple, Keane to Culture Club. Ian also runs the Production Advice Website with over 50,000 readers each month. Ian and I take a deep dive into such topics as: lossless vs. lossy audio; compression, limiting and EQ; LUFS; the Loudness War in music; correcting the misunderstanding that a “picture disc” is NOT a Blu-ray; and we'll even discuss whether D&D is cool again. He describes the art of mastering as a weird mix of arrogance and humility, and there's no one better to simplify these concepts and get us up to speed, than Ian Shepherd. ========================IAN SHEPHERD- Mastering Media Ltd: https://mastering-media.co.uk/ - Production Advice Website: https://productionadvice.co.uk/- Dynamic Range Day Website: https://dynamicrangeday.co.uk/- Twitter: http://twitter.com/ianshepherd- "The Mastering Show" Podcast: https://themasteringshow.com/- Meter Plugs (Ian's Recording Plugins): https://www.meterplugs.com/ SHOW REFERENCES- Endlesss app: https://endlesss.fm/ - "You Are Not So Smart" Podcast: https://youarenotsosmart.com/podcast/- Ian's "Wired" Article About Metallica's "Death Magnetic" (9.16.2008): https://www.wired.com/2008/09/does-metallicas/========================BRENTON HUND PODCAST - Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/brentonhundpodcast- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brentonhundpodcast/- Email: brentonhundpodcast@gmail.com========================SOCIAL MEDIA BY: The Social Sweetheart- Website: https://www.socialsweetheart.co- Email: thesocialsweetheart@gmail.com========================LOGO DESIGN BY: Taylor Hembree- Website: https://taylorhembree1993.wixsite.com/ohokmedia

Neste episódio falamos sobre como surgiu a guerra dos volumes e como a partir dos anos 90 os problemas com as mixagens e masterizações chegaram a um nível bizarro e praticamente insuportável.
Er nahm das Nummer 1 Chart-Album "Preachers of the Night" von Powerwolf in seinem Kohlekeller Studio auf. Kristian "Kohle" Kohlmannslehner arbeitet seit Jahren erfolgreich als Produzent für harte Metal-Musik und macht neuerdings auch mit YouTube Videos und als Gast-Mischer des URM Academy Online-Formats "Nail The Mix" auf sich aufmerksam macht. Er produzierte Alben mit Gruppen wie Hämatom, Powerwolf, Aborted, Eskimo Callboy oder Crematory, die zum Teil sehr hohe Chartpositionen erreichten. Kristian "Kohle" Kohlmannslehner ist in der Metal-Szene weltweit als Produzent und Studiobetreiber etabliert. Sein Kohlekeller Studio wurde vor 20 Jahren gegründet und hat sich in dieser Zeit zu einer Top-Adresse für Metal-Bands aus dem In- und Ausland entwickelt. Außerdem entwickelte mit dem "Grindstein" ein eigenes Effektgerät für E-Gitarren und ist als einziger deutscher Produzent in der URM Academy vertreten. Die Online Recording Schule wurde von den drei US-Produzenten Joey Sturgis, Joel Wanasek, und Eyal Levi ins Leben gerufen. Wer kennt schon die "Statistiken für Nerds" auf YouTube? Im Podcast-Gespräch mit Alexander Schröder betrachtet "Kohle" seinen eigenen Werdegang, die Entwicklung von Sound und Arbeitsweise in dem von ihm favorisierten Genre, beurteilt zukünftige Aussichten der Studioarbeit und gibt fundierte Einblicke zum Mastering von Songs für digitale Plattformen wie YouTube oder Spotify. Dabei geht er dem "Loudness War" aus dem Weg und folgt mittlerweile der Prämisse Lautstärke der Dynamik unterzuordnen. http://www.kohlekeller.de http://www.redfield-records.com

The Loudness War is upon us, children and fans. Three Idols down, the Church of Idolatry angry in the extreme. Will the Idols finally fall or will our "heroines" fall before the power of fanatic funded religion? It's time to see who has the ovaries of iron in Gnashville and rev it up to tear it down!

In our 60th show the Loudness War strikes again, we discover that quite a few bands owe Nile Rogers royalties and herald the return of a 90s post-hardcore icon. THIS WEEK: Gold & Grey by Baroness / 834.194 by Sakanaction / False Alarm by Two Door Cinema Club / Un-becoming by J. Robbins / Crime […]
Nach einer kleinen Pause sind wir wieder zurück. Und weil wir so aufgeregt waren, ist Jacobs Mikrofon auch übersteuert. Typisch Tontechniker. Aber den Loudness-War gibt es nicht nur bei uns sondern auch bei verschiedenen Bands, die im April Alben auf den Markt gespült haben.

You've already seen who my guest is this week, so why are you still reading this ?!? Click Play now ! Seriously though, a guest whose discography includes U2, Dave Matthews, The Pogues, The Stones, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, Morrissey, The Psychedelic Furs, The Las, The Killers and 30 Seconds to Mars plus about 500 others *really* shouldn't need any further introduction from me ! There are SO many great anecdotes and useful nuggets of wisdom in this episode I can't even begin to list them, but just in case you need any more persuading, here are a few sample topics we discuss: - How Steve became a music producer, and why he did it mostly out of fear - What he hates about the production of “Sunday Bloody Sunday” - Why he always mixes the records he produces - The secret of his success (which anyone can steal) - His feelings about the Loudness War, and whether stem mastering is a good idea or not Now stop reading this and listen !

Why you might NOT want to master your music - or get it mastered; what I think of LANDR and other online "mastering" services; when mastering ISN'T mastering; plus the problem with re-mastering; a brief tangent on Dave Grohl; can you master on the mix buss?

Why “Dynamic Range Day” is a really bad name. And come to think of it, why “dynamic range” probably isn't what you think it is. And neither are “dynamics”!

Andra delen i vår miniserie om förlorad ljudkvalitet handlar om ett mycket större problem än det första. Ett problem där musikbranschen är enig om att ljudstyrkekriget har gått för långt. I 30 års tid har medelnivån på inspelad musik ständigt blivit starkare och starkare, detta för att vinna konkurrensfördelar - framför allt i radio. Men musikens naturlagar gör att vi samtidigt drabbas av massor med distorsion, förändring av det musikaliska uttrycket, saboterad tajming, läspande reklamröster, låsning vid våra fjärrkontroller och märkligast av allt: Musik som blir ytterst olämplig att verkligen spela starkt - om vi vill. Programmet försöker reda ut orsakerna, följderna och vad vi faktiskt kan göra åt det. Och självaste Barack Obama har nyligen agerat i frågan. Länkar för den intresserade finns längre ner på sidan, samt ett utförligare svar från ansvariga på Sveriges Radio. På hemsidan finns möjlighet att ladda hem programmet i form av de förlustfria, högklassiga formaten FLAC & ALAC (Apple).

Stefan Nierwetberg und Andreas Hille von der P&P Studios Audio-Agentur erläutern, zu welchen Ergebnissen der Wunsch nach maximaler Lautheit Im Radio oder bei Audioproduktionen generell führen kann.
El Postprocesado de un audio es una tarea llena de dudas, ¿por donde empiezo? ¿Que tipo de efectos debo utilizar? ¿Como ajustar esos efectos una vez utilizados? Estas 3 preguntas pueden hacer que un podcaster se sienta intimidado durante el postprocesado de su audio. El primer paso que necesitamos realizar para poder hacer un buen postprocesado del audio es grabar bien, uno no puede convertir un mal audio en un audio bueno, solo puedes hacer que no sea tan malo. Para continuar explicando los procesos dinámicos debo empezar por el final, tengo que explicar cual debe ser nuestro resultado final. El resultado final de nuestro audio debe ser normalizado según unos estándares de sonoridad. Hasta hace relativamente escaso tiempo siempre se ha medido un audio con respecto a sus picos, las zonas mas altas de volumen, pero ya no vale. La normalización de la sonoridad es un proceso por el cual procesamos y medimos el nivel de intensidad de nuestro audio. Desde el 2011 se han creado y homologado nuevos estándares en normalización que pretenden normalizar todos los audios al mismo nivel. La sonoridad es un concepto muy fácil de explicar porque todos lo hemos sufrido y lo estamos sufriendo, todo audio tiene un límite tras el cual se produce distorsión y saturación, por debajo de hay tenemos nuestro Rango dinámico que puede ser mas grande o pequeño, la sonoridad es la intensidad con la cual el oído humano percibe ese audio. Lo que ocurre es que la Sonoridad es distinta para cada audio, la intensidad con la cual cada uno de nosotros percibimos esos sonidos varía de podcast a podcast, o por ejemplo, y mucho mas fácil de entender, cuando nosotros estamos viendo TV y hacemos Zapping puede que el siguiente canal tenga un volumen general muy alto o mas bajo e incluso si nos mantenemos en el mismo canal puede ocurrir que estemos escuchando una serie a un volumen determinado, que posteriormente veamos un documental mucho mas bajo de volumen y que luego nos asalte la publicidad a todo trapo. Esta situación llevó a lo que se denominó la guerra de la Sonoridad o en inglés Loudness War que ha llevado a la música comercial a lo que los ingenieros de sonido denominan una catástrofe basada en la premisa de que cuanta mayor sonoridad mucho mejor. La tendencia de incrementar el volumen se puede apreciar en esta secuencia de onda de la canción "Something" de The Beatles masterizado cuatro veces desde 1983. Via: Wikipedia La Sonoridad es totalmente subjetiva, a dos señales parecidas un grupo de personas puede determinar que una tiene un mayor volumen sobre la otra. O incluso la situación, si tienes resaca, todo te parecerá que tiene mayor volumen. El Rango de frecuencias también afecta por razones evolutivas a la apreciación de la intensidad del volumen, somos mas insensibles para las frecuencias bajas. Los picos de volumen, en cambio no contribuyen a la percepción de un mayor volumen. La publicidad y la música comercial recortan los picos y suben el volumen general de todo el audio para aumentar artificialmente la percepción de intensidad y volumen, pero los picos tienen una función muy importante, nos permiten ampliar el rango dinámico y nos ayudan a que nuestro audio sea percibido con mayor calidad y que este sea mucho mas natural. Para conseguir evitar esto se propuso un standard abierto de sonoridad. La unidad de medida de la sonoridad es LU Loudness Units y un LU es igual a 1db y LUFS, donde la FS indica Full Scale, el máximo tope digital al que un sonido puede llegar. LU es la medida Relativa y LUFS es la medida absoluta. Las recomendaciones de audio para audio en dispositivos móviles y podcast son -16 LUFSy el pico máximo se recomienda que sea un valor máximo de -1,5 db para que haya margen posterior. En la imagen podemos apreciar la distinta forma de la onda de dos podcast comerciales americanos, el de arriba normaliza muy bajo y el inferior tiene escaso rango dinámico y todos los picos recortados. Herramientas para medir la sonoridad de nuestro audio: Estas herramientas son gratuitas y sirven para analizar el nivel de sonoridad de nuestros audios y que podamos modificarlos para cumplir los estándares de sonoridad. Para Mac tenemos r128x, una utilidad alojada en Github. y que podemos descargar directamente desde este enlace. Es una utilidad muy simple con una ventana donde arrastramos los audios que queremos analizar, automáticamente el programa nos dará los valores de sonoridad para cada uno de los audios que hayamos arrastrado a su interior. Las tres últimas columnas son las que nos indican los valores necesarios para conocer la sonoridad de nuestro audio. la que se encuentra mas a la izquierda es la que nos indica el nivel de LUFS de nuestro audio. La recomendación es que esta cifra marque -16, el segundo valor es el rango dinámico de la sonoridad, es decir, la diferencia en LU de las partes altas con las bajas, los ingenieros de sonido recomiendan que este valor esté por debajo de 8 para que se escuche nuestro audio sin diferencias notables en el volumen, la última columna muestra el píco máximo, la recomendación es que como mucho sea de -1,5 db. Para Windows existe otra utilidad gratuita con mas opciones de manipulación de nuestro audio, como la posibilidad de normalizar directamente desde el programa a -16 LUFS. Se llama R128GAIN y podéis descargarla a través de este mismo enlace. ¿Como normalizar a -16 LUFS?Para normalizar un audio a -16 LUFS se recomiendan los siguientes pasos: Determinar las estadísticas de sonoridad de nuestro audio, podemos utilizar r128x o r128GAIN. Normalizar ese audio a -24 LUFS calculando la diferencia que tenemos con nuestro audio. ej si nuestro audio tiene 13,5 LUFS debemos reducir el control de volumen en nuestro editor 10,5 db, si nuestro audio sale con 25,8 LUFS hay que aumentar la ganancia principal en 1,8 db hasta llegar a los 24 LUFS, hay que tener en cuenta que 1 LU es igual a 1 db. Pasar un limitador al canal principal ajustado a -9,5 db Darle una ganancia a nuestro audio de 8 db Al final obtendremos un audio a 16 LUFS y un pico máximo de -1,5 db Imagen de la onda de este programa grabado, como podéis ver la onda principal que corresponde con mi voz tiene una dinámica poco brusca y los picos no están recortados.
