[MLA] Loudness War in New York Times

[Bob Katz]

Unfortunately, I gave in when I saw the 30 second version of Chinoy's 
graphics. I told him there just wasn't enough information in there. That 
the sonic differences between at least two different examples that they 
published, were not reflected in the red dots of the peak level. I said 
for a consumer article it was "good enough", but I would not let those 
graphics go in a professional context.
