Hi Ian,

You don’t know the per-track normalisation factor before an album is completed; and the factor changes if the same track, without remastering, becomes part of a new album.

“Hard-fought” was in relation to keeping a genre-neutral metrik at the center of all loudness measurement. Dolby wanted speech normalisation, and one-eyed Album is almost equally bad.

Satisfy Program Loudness normalisation first, then consider custom tunings such as Speech or Album.

cheers,
Thomas

I’m not sure why this would be the case, since surely people will always know which other songs will be grouped together in an “album”, and so can calculate the offset themselves ?
