[MLA] 95% normalized

[Bob Katz]

Ok.... you guys win! I just never think of YouTube as a music streaming 
service but I see your points. This discussion was only between us, I 
NEVER would speak up in any public way about Ian's post.

Well, now we have to move to get Spotify to adopt to AES TD-1008 and 
therefore move its target to -16 LUFS and do album normalization 
properly. Same for Apple. Not exactly sure how Apple is proceeding with 
their new (and much welcomed) -18 LUFS Target to do with Atmos.

And also figure out how any streaming services that are doing upward 
normalization are doing it. If I remember correctly, Apple will upward 
normalize UNLESS the true peak level would exceed -1 dBTP. I'm ok with 
that approach, but not with the peak limiter approach.

And who knows what Amazon music is doing?


Cheers back,



Bob
