The Podcast Super Friends discussed the importance of and evaluating podcasts. We focused on technical quality, content, and promotion. Johnny got us started with microphones, managing echo, and maintaining consistent loudness levels (LUFS -15). For video, using high-quality cameras and proper lighting was emphasized. Jag shifted us over to content, stressing the importance of engaging introductions, avoiding overly long episodes, and asking hard questions respectfully. The friends were complimentary of Valerie Geller's recent appearacne on the Sound Off Podcast with Matt Cundill, where she spoke about her book and offered up OODLES of excellent podcast related tactcis on creative content. YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT HERE. Matt is all about the packaging of a show; including the artwork, metadata and how you show looks and appears in places like Apple, Spotify and Amazon. Catherine got us going on promotion strategies like sharing episode links, using visual cues on YouTube, and leveraging guest networks. The conversation also touched on the importance of making podcasts about the audience and being involved in relevant communities. Catherine also suggests using those subtle warm calls to engage existing customers or fans when promoting a podcast, especially for branded podcasts with built-in audiences. We missed David Yas on the show today but Johnny managed to promote his show called Past 10's Top 10 Time Machine. We are 5 Podcast Producers who make podcasts for People and Companies.

1158: En este episodio te hablo de dos procesos esenciales en la edición de audio: la normalización y la limitación. Ambos tienen que ver con el volumen, pero cumplen funciones diferentes y complementarias. Mientras que la normalización ajusta el nivel general de sonido para mantenerlo estable y evitar fluctuaciones incómodas, la limitación se encarga de recortar los picos que podrían sobresalir de manera molesta llegando incluso a distorsionar el audio de tu episodio. Al normalizar, puedes asegurarte de que todo suene con una coherencia que facilite la escucha.Esto significa que no tendrás que subir o bajar el volumen constantemente mientras reproduces tu podcast. La normalización por picos, por ejemplo, ajusta los niveles para que el punto más alto del audio no supere un valor establecido. Por otro lado, la normalización por sonoridad, utilizando estándares como los LUFS, se centra en cómo perciben los oyentes el volumen general, lo que la hace especialmente útil para mantener la consistencia entre episodios._________________'Clásicos con altura', el podcast donde redescubrirás la literatura universal desde una perspectiva contemporánea, patrocina este capítulo.

El limitador actúa como una barrera que corta esos excesos de volumen, dejando fuera todo lo que sobrepasa un umbral específico. Aunque este proceso puede ser más agresivo, es ideal para evitar saturaciones y garantizar que ninguna parte del audio destaque de forma abrupta.En mi flujo de trabajo, suelo aplicar primero una normalización básica para nivelar el audio. Luego uso un limitador para eliminar cualquier pico que pueda estropear la grabación. Finalmente, cuando tengo todas las pistas montadas, aplico una normalización por LUFS para que el resultado final tenga un volumen uniforme.

Send me a messageIn this episode of Inside The Mix, mastering engineer Ian Shepherd demystifies loudness metrics and debunks common mastering misconceptions while offering practical advice for producers looking to improve their masters without chasing arbitrary targets. Ian explains the role of LUFS in mastering, why normalization matters, and how focusing on musicality and dynamics leads to better results than simply hitting a loudness target.What You'll Learn: • LUFS measurements explained – momentary, short-term, and integrated loudness • How many LUFS should my master be? Understanding the balance between dynamics and loudness • The truth about LUFS for Spotify – why 83% of users never change loudness normalization settings • What does LUFS stand for? And why it's just one piece of the mastering puzzle • How normalization impacts your music across different streaming platforms • The role of audio normalization in creating a consistent listening experience • Why AI mastering struggles to match the emotional intent of human engineers • Spotify's approach to loudness and what it means for your masters • Internal dynamics – how balancing different sections of your song enhances clarity and impact • The mastering feedback loop – why collaboration between engineers and artists is keyIf you want your music to stand out in today's Spotify-dominated landscape, don't obsess over loudness numbers. Instead, focus on musicality, dynamics, and emotional impact. Test how your tracks sound at normalized streaming levels, and let the music, not the meters, drive your mastering decisions.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to the Mastering Show PodcastMastering Engineer Reacts to 8 Pro Mixes of the Same SongHigher LUFS - do they REALLY always sound louder?YouTube ruined all my videos - UNLESS you disable this setting...Loudness Penalty: AnalyzePerception AB Support the showBook a FREE 20-minute Producer Potential Discovery Call Follow Marc Matthews' Socials:Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

1086. En este episodio hago un repaso especial a los capítulos más votados de 2024 por la comunidad del canal de Telegram. Recordad que cada sábado lanzo encuestas para que los oyentes, seleccionen sus episodios favorito de la semana. A final de año (y a final de temproada) recopilo esos capítulos que más han gustado y los rescato en estos recopilatorio, para aquellos que habéis llegado hace poco al podcast, o quizás, se os hayan escapado aún siendo oyentes habituales. El primer episodio más votado este año fue "898. ¿Cuánto cuesta producir un podcast?", donde reflexioné sobre el amplio abanico de presupuestos en el podcasting, desde cero euros hasta cifras millonarias. Le siguió el titulado "903. ¿Por qué bajan las descargas de los podcasts desde hace meses?", un capítulo en el que expliqué cómo los cambios de Apple Podcasts afectaron al sector desde septiembre en 2023 debido a un cambio en sus sistema de auto descargas. Otro de los destacados fue "906: La eterna pregunta ¿Cuánto debe durar un podcast? Hoy, reflexión gracias a Podnews", donde concluí que la duración ideal depende del contenido y del propio creador. Durante el año, episodios de opinión y reflexión dominaron las votaciones cada sábado. Por ejemplo, "903 Opinión: De desagradecidos está el podcasting lleno" dio un tirón de orejas a los creadores que descuidan a sus comunidades, mientras que "928 Opinión: Los podcast no deben pensar en audiencia, si no en comunidad" estuvo centrado en la importancia de cuidar a los oyentes. También sobresalieron capítulos prácticos, como los dos decálogos para invitados (941) y anfritiones (947) de podcast, pensados para crear una experiencia cómoda tanto para invitados como para anfitriones. En el terreno técnico, el episodio "957 ¿Qué son los LUFS y cuál es el nivel idóneo para un podcast?" me sorprendió por el interés que generó entre los oyentes, explicando un tema que parecía demasiado técnico pero que clarificó dudas comunes tanto para los creadores como para los consumidores. Otro favorito fue el debate con Xavi, Leo y Toni, todos compañeros podcasters, sobre si Dulceida y Alba Paul realmente justificaban su polémico caché de 500.000 euros por su podcast "Camino hacia las estrellas" (958). Mención especial merece el capítulo con José Antonio Gelado, el primer creador de podcast en España, publicado coincidiendo con el episodio número 1000 del podcast, que arrasó en las votaciones y es, sin duda, uno de los grandes hitos del año y de la historia del podcast.A lo largo del verano, episodios como el 984 "¿Sabes que Ivoox nació gracias a un conductor aburrido? La historia de Juan Ignacio Solera" o el directo de JPOD24 de Valencia "1055 ¿Qué significa tener éxito en un podcast?"  también destacaron, ofreciendo un equilibrio entre información y punto de debate rodeado de grandes amigos. Más adelante, capítulos como "1033 Opinión: Tu podcast es único en el mundo (y tu podcasting también)" reafirmaron la idea de que el éxito en podcasting reside en la autenticidad y no tanto en el impacto o número de descargas. Quiero finalizar este repaso destacando LO FUNDAMENTAL que es vuestro feedback cada sábado. Sin vuestos votos en las encuestas semanales del canal de Telegram, esta lista no sería posible. La búsqueda de un mejor contenido es contínua gracias a vuestro apoyo y poco a poco se va reflejando en los números del proyecto, así como en vuestros comentarios. Os animo a seguir votando y a formar parte activa de la comunidad.

On this Reaproducer episode of Audio Pizza, I will go over the basic workflow I use when recording and editing a podcast. Recording Typically, we use Zoom to connect with each other but then make our own local recordings of our ends. This way, we have good, pristine copies ready for editing. On the Mac, I use Audio Hijack or Reaper to do the recording. Once I have each of the individual files from the participants, I rename them with short filenames to cut down screen reader verbosity when navigating the project. I save a Reaper project and paste the files straight into the blank project, ready for editing. Project Settings To make navigating the audio easier for this type of editing, in the View menu, I change the Time unit for ruler to Minutes and Seconds, and Press Option+Return to access project settings, to adjust the tempo to 60, and time signature to 60 over 4. This may not make a lot of sense musically; however, it is useful for navigating by minutes with Page Up and Page Down, and seconds with Command+Page Up and Page Down. These can then be set as default project settings if you wish and it will also then retain your choice for the time ruler. Normalising After pasting the files into their own tracks in the project, I select all the items by first selecting one item, and then extending the selection with Command+A to all the items. I use Shift+U to bring up the SWS/BR - Normalize loudness dialog. This gives me the option to normalise each item to my preferred starting value of –23 LUFS. It is a good idea to add a limiter to your master track at this point, as it's possible that some parts of the recording will be coming in above 0 dB and clipping. Item: Auto trim/split items (remove silence) Control+Accent will bring up this dialog. As the name suggests, it works on the items rather than the tracks and will split each selected item based upon the content of the item. Where the level is above the set threshold, in this case, where the particular person is talking, it will leave an item, and anywhere where the level falls below the threshold, it will remove an item. So in those locations on the track where the level was below, the track will be empty. In effect, if set correctly, it will split before and after each passage of speech and remove the rest. This has some significant benefits and can speed up the editing process. You can now quickly navigate to particular parts of the audio and make the desired change on that item. This might be adjusting the volume of a phrase, removing a section, or shifting around the content of the podcast. However, it's important that your original files have a nice low noise floor, as when the quiet sections are removed, there is complete silence on that track. This can be disconcerting for the listener if there's too much noise in the sections when the person is speaking and this cuts in and out. Basic Editing You can navigate to an item to be removed with Command+Left/Right Arrows, and delete, or cut and paste it to another location with Command+X and Command+V. Keep in mind your current ripple state: off, or all tracks. Usually, you would not want to use the ripple per track option as you are likely to make subsequent content go out of sync. If a particular item is too loud or too quiet, it can be quickly adjusted with Command+Up/Down Arrow. This will adjust the particular take within the item by 1 dB. Trimming Left or Right Edge of Item to Edit Cursor One quick way of cutting off the end of an item is to use the action found on Control+Shift+Period — Item edit: Trim right edge of item to edit cursor. Typically, you could split the end of the item off, select that item, and delete it. However, if you place your cursor in the same location you would have made the split, and trim the right edge to that point, you've accomplished the same thing with one keystroke. This can be used to extend an item as well. Place the edit cursor after the selected item, and again hit the same command, and it will grow back that edge to this point. Of course, the same works for the beginning of an item, using the Trim left edge to edit cursor command. You can either cut the beginning off or grow it back depending upon where you place your cursor compared to the selected item. Another benefit of using this method is that it does not matter how you have ripple set. Had you used the split and delete method, it would be prudent to first check your ripple state to avoid unintended consequences. Custom Actions If you find yourself performing sequences of actions commonly, you may wish to create custom actions that will allow you to perform the actions with one keystroke. I found that I was often setting the end of a time selection, jumping back a bit and then playing, skipping the time selection to preview the edit. This is one of the custom actions I demo along with a couple more. To create a custom action, go into the actions list with F4, click the New action button, then select New custom action. You are then able to add a series of actions to create your own custom action. If you have actions in the wrong order, you can move them in the list with Command+Up/Down Arrows. After completing this, you can add a keystroke to the action to have quick access to it whilst editing. Adding Intro Music and Volume Automation If you wish to add some music to the intro of your podcast once you have finished the editing of the vocal tracks, just paste the file in on its own track with ripple turned on for all tracks. This will insert the music and keep all the other tracks in sync. If the music is to come in under the vocal tracks, have ripple turned off, or check out the podcast to see a quick method of moving everything around. Command+Option+V will show the volume envelope for the selected track, and then Option+L to arm that envelope. You can then add points with Shift+E and adjust the values with Numpad 2 and 8, or Command+Shift+E to add and edit a point. Fading an item out from the edit cursor is another quick way of dealing with your music. Final Levelling and Rendering If you're wanting to have chapter markers in the podcast, insert standard named project markers with the syntax CHAP=Name of chapter. Use Shift+M to add and name the markers. When it comes to rendering, in the dialog tick the Metadata checkbox, and the MP3 will have chapters included with the supplied names. There are a number of different tools to check levels and loudness within Reaper. One good option is the action Calculate loudness of master mix within time selection via dry run render. This will give an accurate representation of the final integrated loudness figure, along with the peak value, and other loudness stats. We also have the Peak Watcher, on Option+W, this can provide integrated loudness levels along with true peak throughout the editing process, however it's not covered on this podcast. To adjust your levels, again you have a lot of options at different parts of the signal chain. One is to select all the items on the track with Command+Option+A and then adjust with Command+Arrows. Or you can adjust the actual track volume with Option+Arrows, or Option+Shift+Arrows. If you have folders for the vocal tracks, this can be a good place to turn up or down the overall volume before it gets to the master track where you have a limiter. Press Command+Option+R to render out your final file with your desired settings. Typically for podcasts, for maximum compatibility, MP3 is still recommended, even though we now have better lossy formats. An integrated LUFS value near –16 dB is a generally accepted standard. List of Actions Used Option+Return - Open Project Settings Command+A - Select all items/tracks/envelope points (depending on focus) Shift+U - SWS/BR: Normalize loudness of selected items/tracks… Shift+Home - Custom: Select from cursor to start of project Control+Accent - Item: Auto trim/split items (remove silence) Command+Shift+P - OSARA: Report ripple editing mode Option+Shift+P - Options: Cycle ripple editing mode Control+Shift+Comma - Item edit: Trim left edge of item to edit cursor Control+Shift+Period - Item edit: Trim right edge of item to edit cursor Shift+A - Xenakios/SWS: Select items under edit cursor on selected tracks Command+Option+A - Item: Select all items in track Command+Up/Down - Xenakios/SWS: Nudge active take volume up/down Option+Up/Down - Track: Nudge track volume up/down Option+Shift+Up/Down - Xenakios/SWS: Nudge volume of selected tracks up/down Left Parenthesis - Time selection: Set start point Right Parenthesis - Time selection: Set end point Option+Space - Transport: Play (skip time selection) Option+Left/Right Parenthesis - Time selection: Nudge left edge left or right Command+Left/Right Parenthesis - Time selection: Nudge right edge left or right Slash - Scrub: Toggle looped-segment scrub at edit cursor Command+L - Editing.RPP Command+Option+V - OSARA: Toggle track/take volume envelope visibility (depending on focus) Option+L - OSARA: Select next track/take envelope (depending on focus) Shift+E - Envelope: Insert new point at current position (remove nearby points) Option+Shift+E - Envelope: Add/edit envelope point value at cursor Numpad 2 - Item edit: Move items/envelope points down one track/a bit Numpad 8 -

You can't go a day without someone telling you how loud your music should be, these days. "Everything has to be -8 LUFS" "EDM has to be -6 LUFS or louder" "-11 is the perfect balance" "Just master everything to -14" ...but they can't all be right ! In fact, none of them are, and even more importantly, they may not even be talking about the same thing. And the differences are really important. So in this episode I try explain really clearly and concisely: The 3 different types of LUFS The difference between them Why it's crucial to know which type you're talking about Why mastering to integrated targets makes no sense When -14 LUFS isn't loud enough – and why ? Why it's not about ‘how loud', it's about how you make it loud Why integrated LUFS values are the result, not the goal of mastering Full show notes on our website https://themasteringshow.com/episode-92

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re asking the question “how loud should a podcast be?” We’ve talked about having consistent volume levels throughout your episodes. But what about the overall volume level of your show compared to other podcasts? Audio loudness is measured in something called “LUFS”, which means “Loudness Units relative to Full Scale”. Sound exciting, eh? Recommended podcast loudness varies, depending on who you ask, and whether your episode is mono or stereo. But a good ballpark to aim for is between -16 and -21 LUFS. You can set this process up in a DAW like Adobe Audition. Or, it’s yet another factor that Alitu takes care of for you automatically, without you having to know anything about it. However you go about it though, your listeners will be grateful when they land on your episode after listening to another show. For a deeper dive on this topic, head on over to http://thepodcasthost.com/loudness

Hello! Sorry for the gap in episodes but it's been a hectic few weeks with work, spring garden prep and planting, taking my photo walks, and general hospital visits and treatments that have kept me behind on so much.  But, this is one I was really excited to record and I've already set aside time to record our next episode which is very relevant to this month.  It only took a few years but I'm finally more comfortable in post editing with getting my volume set to the standard of LUFS and hopefully the earlier episodes didn't have you changing the volume a lot! LOL, I get there eventually.  I hope you enjoy this one and that it can be helpful to you as a patient or caregiver! Chris

Happy Podcasting! On this episode of Podtastic Audio, I'll help you capture really good audio for you podcast. When you record audio, you need to know... how well the audio is actually being captured at your microphone source. There is an easy way to find out how good your audio is coming into your microphone. And to my surprise, 46% of podcasters didn't do this! https://podtasticaudio.com/ LIve Audio Monitoring  As a podcaster, monitoring your own audio live during recording is crucial for ensuring that your content is of high quality. By listening to your own voice and the sound levels of your recording equipment in real-time, you can detect any potential issues such as background noise, microphone pops, or low audio levels. Monitoring your audio can also help you to adjust your speaking volume and tone to make sure that your listeners can hear and understand you clearly. By taking the time to monitor your audio during recording, you can make sure that your final podcast product is polished, professional, and enjoyable for your audience.  Audio LUFS  Audio LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) is a measurement used to determine the loudness of an audio signal. It measures the perceived loudness of audio content, taking into account human hearing and the frequency response of the human ear. LUFS is different from traditional measures of loudness, such as decibels (dB), which only measure the peak level of the signal. LUFS measures the overall loudness of the audio content, including both the peaks and the quieter parts. This measurement is particularly important for podcasts because it ensures that the audio is consistent in volume and doesn't cause discomfort or fatigue to the listener. Many podcast platforms have specific LUFS standards for audio submissions, so it's important for podcasters to be aware of and meet these standards for optimal sound quality Enhance Speech from Adobe Speech enhancement makes voice recordings sound as if they were recorded in a professional studio. https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance Thanks so much for listening, I really appreciate it so much.

As production music composers, we don't really think of ourselves as artists who need to rely on name recognition to attract a large following on the Internet. So do we really need to focus on having a web presence?  To help me answer this, I've invited back to podcast someone who knows a thing or two about marketing strategies, Shannon Kropf@Plus we take listen to “Keep on Keepin' On,” which is a bluesy southern rock cue by 52 Cues community member, Gar Ashby (https://soundcloud.com/gar-ashby).How do you discover new plugins? How is Taxi dispatch different than regular taxi? What exactly are “neutral tasking” cues? What types of cues are most in demand? Do you have to write whole albums to get in with a library?

How to Share Your Voice (Via Podcast)Do you have information, a skill, or insights that could change the world for the better? Even if it just helps one person, it completely impacts that person's world, which impacts all of us. We all have unique gifts to give, are you currently sharing yours? If not, what's been holding you back? Sometimes it's that we don't know what to share, or we don't believe we're ready to share, or that the world won't be accepting of our message. As daunting as these challenges might be, you might have overcome them all for one of you gifts. You know it, you're ready to share, and you KNOW the world is ready to listen, yet there still might be one more big obstacle in your way: How do you ACTUALLY share your voice? There's so many ways from blogs and books to videos and your socials. Then when you choose an arena, where do you even begin? If you've chosen podcasting as your medium to share your voice then you've come to the right place. I'll be giving a quick and easy overview of HOW to share your voice via podcast in the quickest and easiest way possible so that you can spend more time creating your content and less time agonizing over how many LUFS to normalize your audio to (WTF?!? - Don't worry about!, I got you).

NOTE: In this episode I'm using a Sennheiser e835 microphone into my Portico 2 channel strip and using these plugins in post: KIT BB N105, Shadow Hills Class A Mastering Compressor, Saturn 2, and Aquamarine 4. Here's the summary of what I discuss on How To Handle Loudness Properly in All Stages of Your Podcast Production Workflow: Record all raw tracks at a healthy level (not too low or too hot) Set all raw tracks to the same LUFS before bringing them into your DAW. (I do this at the end of my cleanup phase after I remove background noise, plosives, hums, and other blemishes) Use Compression and/or MaxxVolume/Vocal Rider to compress/tame the loud parts as well as boost the lower volume parts. (NOTE: This step will effectively amplify any background noise, so be sure to absolutely minimize the background noise before pressing record!) Adjust the overall level of each participant so they all sound good compared to each other. (as part of your mixing phase, where you can also use other processing like EQ, saturation, etc.) After rendering the final episode audio, process this file so it adheres to the “unofficial” loudness standards of podcasting: -19 LUFS for mono episodes, or -16 LUFS for stereo episodes.

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we're asking the question “how loud should a podcast be?” We've talked about having consistent volume levels throughout your episodes. But what about the overall volume level of your show compared to other podcasts? Audio loudness is measured in something called “LUFS”, which means “Loudness Units relative to Full Scale”. Sound exciting, eh? Recommended podcast loudness varies, depending on who you ask, and whether your episode is mono or stereo. But a good ballpark to aim for is between -16 and -21 LUFS. You can set this process up in a DAW like Adobe Audition. Or, it's yet another factor that Alitu takes care of for you automatically, without you having to know anything about it. However you go about it though, your listeners will be grateful when they land on your episode after listening to another show. For a deeper dive on this topic, head on over to http://thepodcasthost.com/loudness

This is huge - Apple have finally started using LUFS for their loudness normalisation, which means all the major streaming services now use the same method to measure loudness ! And perhaps more importantly, they've enable Sound Check by default on new devices. As always there are plenty of devilish details to be aware of though, so in this episode we talk in detail about this change, including: * Why it's so important * How much music online is REALLY normalised anyway ? * Why the answer is surprising to many musicians and engineers * Why Apple finally made this change * A few quirks and gotchas * Why it's good news * And what to do about it (and what NOT to do!)

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Ceiling Air Purifier, published by jefftk on May 30, 2022 on LessWrong. Imagine a high-capacity air filter that is extremely quiet and doesn't get in the way. I think I see how to build one; here's a prototype: By putting a fan on the ceiling you can have very long blades. This is important for keeping noise down: the longer your blades are the more air you move at a given rotational velocity, which is a major determinant of noise. Testing my prototype, it has a CADR of ~180 CFM and is only 33dB. By contrast, the Wirecutter's top-recommended air purifier (Coway AP-1512HH) has a CADR of 233 CFM (31% higher) at 54 dB (21dB louder) or 110 CFM (38% lower) at 36 dB (3dB louder). With some tweaks it should be able to match the commercial purifier's performance, without being louder. Volume is very important here: people often select purifiers based on their maximum flow, but then run them on a lower setting or even turn them off because they are too loud. Note that while my purifier is an octagon of 12x20 filters around a 52" fan, a nonagon would have been better. Not only should that get you 12% more filtration, but you don't have to fill gaps between the filters. Jeff for scale One downside of using this much tape, especially some of it with the sticky side bare, is that you get an adhesive smell. The smell fell below where I could detect after about a day, but Julia could still smell it for about five days. To determine the CADR of the prototype I followed the approach I described in Testing Air Purifiers, where I created smoke by burning matches and then tracked how quickly the purifier could reduce pm2.5 levels: To determine volume levels, I used a Sennheiser 835s dynamic microphone with a foam windscreen, connected to an AudioBox 1818VSL to record samples of each purifier option and silence. Here are the samples: (Silence) (Ceiling Purifier) (AP-1512HH Medium) (AP-1512HH High) To compute the loudness of each sample I ran: This gives loudness in LUFS, which is K-weighted dB. I don't have any calibrated tooling, but I can report values in loudness units (LU) relative to silence. Trusting the manufacturer's rating of 53.8 dB for the AP-1512HH on High, however, lets us determine absolute loudness for the other options: Sample Relative Absolute Everything Off normalized to 0 LU 25 dB Ceiling Purifier High 7.3 LU 32.6 dB AP-1512HH Medium 10.8 LU 36.1 dB AP-1512HH High 28.5 LU 53.8 dB I think it ought to be possible to get even better performance out of the ceiling purifier by building a shroud. The ideal shroud is generally quite a bit narrower than I would guess: I've seen people measuring peak performance with only a 14" hole for a 20" fan. They report ~40% more airflow without increased noise, but I would want to run tests and verify that here. With ~12% improvement from switching to nine filters and ~40% from better shrouding, this ought to get us from a CADR of ~180 CFM to ~280 CFM. Even if we only get half that improvement, a CADR ~230 CFM gets us even with the commercial purifier, at far lower volumes. In terms of cost, materials for one fan are nine MERV-14 filters for $110 plus ~$5 for tape. The ceiling fan was a Hunter Mariner 52", which seems to cost $106 now, though it's not something I installed for this project. A real-product version of this would replace the tape with a frame you attach to the ceiling, into which you could slide filters. Maybe $100? If someone wanted to build and sell something I'd be pretty happy to see that! Comment via: facebook Thanks for listening.

Dolby Atmos has moved the goalposts for loudness, all the way down to -18 LUFS. This was one of the main topics of conversation for this year's Dynamic Range Day, with the Atmos versions of 5 albums being nominated for the award - and in fact, the overall winner was an Atmos mix & master. In this episode I talk to Nick Rives from Capitol Studios, who mixed the winning album, and we discuss: * Nick's approach to mixing immersive audio * How he got started with Dolby Atmos * Using spatial effects to enhance the musical impact * How the -18 LUFS guideline works in practise * The benefits and challenges of Atmos dynamics Full show notes on our website https://themasteringshow.com/episode-82

It's happening. Spotify are switching to using LUFS for their loudness normalization. If you're thinking ‘I thought they already used it', that's understandable - but they didn't. They will in future though, and in this episode we talk about why the change matters, especially in the short-term. But also about when it doesn't matter, and why it will hopefully matter even less as time goes on. Topics include: Why we don't use Spotify What we use instead, and why - and some of the differences How normalization on Spotify used to work How it's going to work What happens in the meantime Why we mostly ignore the numbers, despite all this ! http://themasteringshow.com/episode-74
