[MLA] Avenged Sevenfold

[Ian Shepherd]

> Spotify uses the ReplayGain algorithm for loudness measurement. It might help to finish the work to update ReplayGain to use BS.1770

If you can influence that in any way it would be fantastic, Kevin !

> I think Spotify actually uses a lower target level than YouTube. Lower target should help improve normalization.

Measurements show that YouTube’s overall level is approx. -13 LUFS, whereas Spotify’s is roughly -11 LUFS

> If limiting is in play, that complicates things. I don't think we advocate limiting as part of normalization

Limiting is certainly being used, a Spotify software engineer told me that years ago.
