[MLA] Meeting with my Apple contact

[Grimm | Eelco]

Hi MLA friends,

I managed to make another appointment with my Apple contact Buddy Judge (Senior Product Manager iTunes) in New York during AES. He invited me to have another beer and meal together. When I first met him in Berlin, Kevin and Florian were also there. What do you think would be wisest: that we discuss some topics here in the MLA reflector and that I will have this beer alone with Buddy? Or that I propose that a few of you join us?

My most important question will of course be when Apple turns on loudness normalization by default. Buddy was inspired by my 'album normalization always' presentation, so I'm curious to learn how his collegues responded to that. And of course I like to ask if they will move to BS1770.

Looking forward to this meeting!

Cheers,
Eelco

PS I'm also scheduling a presentation at Tidal in Oslo the week before AES...
