I got the weekly email today from AudioStream and in it Michael Lavorgna posted a link to this article.
Help End The Loudness War, Please Sign This Petition.
http://www.audiostream.com/content/help-end-loudness-war#2QVZ4w7QFKeU1Jtf.97
Is this how we want to "End" the loudness wars, my encouraging streamers to normalize everything and compress the hell out of what little music there is that still contains any dynamics? All Loud All The Time
They even post a link to this AES paper on normalization to support their position.
http://www.aes.org/technical/documents/AESTD1004_1_15_10.pdf
IMHO all this does is encourage the major labels even more to smash the hell out of everything they release.
Help me, Am I missing something or is this just a total surrender to ever getting any dynamics back to music?
