Yet that is the one thing you can't hear most live sound performances.

I think it gives you the chance to hear both versions and select which one is appropriate for the environment you listen in.<br /><br />Cheers!

I made a conscious choice to release my last album at the same compression levels used in the 1980's, as I believed in my gut that highly compressed tracks were only a fad.

An Apple rep showed it to me a few months ago and it does indeed work well on a wide range of song levels.<br /><br />It works in the background of iTunes Radio and is not something that you can tweak. There may be very small differences between songs, but not something that the average person is aware of for the most part.<br /><br />Sound Check is also available on iTunes in the preferences under Playback.Bobby Owsinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885584132164492190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-75424443791312681712013-11-13T04:53:07.647-08:002013-11-13T04:53:07.647-08:00I've suspected for some time now that Youtube ...I've suspected for some time now that Youtube is also doing something like this. My rescent vids are all slightly different volumes, but not on Youtube. I've also noticed that most vids are pretty even in volume, with the exception of "pro" vids which are noticably louder.<br /><br />I think it'll take a while for mix engineers to stop over-compressing tracks, however because of client-driven desires for big, squashed loudness.<br /><br />Personally, I dislike the sound of compression, mostly.

Now, what Sound Check does? Does it normalize the track? Does it consider the perceived loudness? Really sorry Bobby, I didn't understand how does this algoithm works and how it could be stop the loudness war. <br />I am wondering how it could level those two songs:<br />beautiful day by Bublè<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYxuGQMCuU<br /><br />and Blurred Lines<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDUC1LUXSU<br /><br />The only way to make them play loud similarly, is lowering the Bublè song by nomalizing it.<br />I hope I am clear enough. <br />All your advices is most welcome!<br />Gian NicolaGian Nicola Beraldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787633272957223057noreply@blogger.com
