[MLA] 95% normalized

[Ian Shepherd]

Hi All,

Now Apple are enabling Sound Check by default, I got curious about normalization statistics. I was really pleased by what I found, so I’m sharing it with you in case it’s helpful when talking to any of your clients…

https://productionadvice.co.uk/95-percent-normalized/

Of course there are plenty of places where normalization isn’t active, but another positive bit of news recently is that I measured the first 30 mins of Soundcloud’s Top 50 playlist, and the maximum short-term loudness of most songs was typically -7 LUFS except for very brief moments, and maybe half the songs maxed out at -10 or -11 LUFS.

Of course we would still like it to be lower, but at least it wasn’t the -4 LUFS fiasco that I feared !

Cheers,

Ian
