GTsongwriter Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 So, I had a discussion via comments on Emily Bowie's channel about her Mastering video about my saying that music sounds better if it's LOUDER and she disagrees. So, maybe I didn't explain it correctly in the comments section OR maybe I am wrong altogether?? Please join the comments section to help explain to this "mastering engineer" about loudness perception can be misleading you into thinking something sounds better. She also doesn't believe in A/B ing tracks normalized while using EQ. Is this opinions or anyone know of any research that can be referenced in this subject? Any of your help, big or small, will be thanked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, here's what's been done to one album over the years: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
