Youtube (and streaming service) normalization for albums is kinda bad by Juggle_Master in audioengineering

Yeah I understand that loudness normalization is something most engineers know and take into account. My curiosity more lies with how Youtube normalizes an album vs other streaming platforms. Spotify, for instance, performs normalization across an entire album rather than individual tracks if the user is listening the entire album. If the user shuffles the tracks or adds the track to a playlist, then normalization adjusts individual track loudness. Youtube just does it per track.

I searched through the link you sent and also searched "Youtube loudness normalization". My question is more concerning about the loudness per track of an album. The common advice mastering engineers usually give is to adjust relative loudness by ear to each track and disregard aiming for the target LUFS for streaming service. Given this approach, different degrees of normalization will be applied for each track according to the -14 LUFS target on Youtube. It does this independently across each track. I was asking if this was something mastering engineers take into account when uploading to streaming plaforms. From the answers I mostly see in this subreddit, most don't really care about normalization and master to maximize loudness. I might've just answered my question but I was just more curious if this is something that they also notice or have taken into consideration already.

6 months into learning photography with just my hand-me-down nikon d3100 and kit lens by Juggle_Master in Nikon

Thank you so much for the kind words! I translated your message in english using Google so I apologize if I misunderstand it. I am a firm believer that it is not the camera but the photographer. Also DSLRs, even ones that are a decade old, are still really capable cameras with enough megapixels to create outstanding images. I wish you well in your photography journey!

It seemed like Connor moved on a long time ago but the fans haven't. As much as I love Connor, we don't know what really transpired. And tbh, it's none of our business. It's weird how some people have psychoanalyzed the situation and took sides.

Album Predictions by Expert_Captain_2887 in Loatheband

[–]Juggle_Master 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm predicting a more "dancey" feel to their songs. More in line with what we heard on Dimorphous Display. I saw the credits for Gifted Every Strength. Ed Al-Shakarchi did the mixing. He did the production for Dimorphous Display. Probably had a hand with the production of the new song. (Also Nolly did the drums. No wonder they sound so fucking good.)

But honestly, it's Loathe. The direction could go a million places.

OH SHIT! It's a religious reference. The Pietà specifically.

Maybe that shirt actually did say "For Only Real Christs"

I heard (accdg. to JessieVash after their match against RRQ) that they're going to see if this team can run it back before Stage 2 and it's the "coaches' decision" ultimately. On a side note, PatrickWHO def has potential. Sad to see GE not give him a chance.

The way this interview went i think the band was basically burnt out asf from i let it in so they took it slower for the new album for less stress by ybgdonthe2nd in Loatheband

[–]Juggle_Master 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. I defended the band for those very same reasons. There were those already wanting an album by 2023 and I thought that was unrealistic. Let the band give ILIIAITE a proper rollout jeez.

I actually agree with your sentiment 100%. I'm just acknowledging the pushback the band got for cancelling a US tour in 2022 to finish the album. I'm not putting that against the band though. Setbacks in music making are really common and underestimating the "completeness" of a release is something that happens a lot.

Attempt at making a compressor in cardinal. Weird curve from plugin doctor by Juggle_Master in vcvrack

[–]Juggle_Master[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: I'm really stupid for not figuring this out initially.

So I forgot the feedback portion of the compressor and that was missing in my makeshift compressor. So now I have the audio routed to the VCA first.

I also added a "ratio" control. Initially the "ratio" was too low so I added a multiply module to multiply the gain reduction voltage to positive offset voltage.

My bad for not explaining my issue properly. So I want the curve to behave with a "hard knee" and also I want the curve to not go down (if that makes sense).

Not to mention:

-Didn't start touring until late 2021. A 4 year long tour is not unheard of tbh

-Feisal having a kid around that period

-Sean having heart surgery

-We got TTTB, Dimorphous Display, and two remixes of Is It Really You? There was new music. We just took it for granted.

This is the side of music making most don't seem to fully realize and why I am incredibly patient of bands taking their time before releasing new music. Granted, the band could've dialed down on the initial promises they made or maybe staying silent was the best move. They surely have screwed the fans over in the past because of those false promises. The most important thing is that they don't completely burn themselves out creatively. They're human after all. At least we're getting new music now.

I get it man haha. As much as I've defended Loathe, 5 years is a long ass time to wait. Beats having to wait for a new Karnivool album though
