<p>Just let me know when you all want to hear all the arguments
(esthetic and technical) I can pose for album normalization. But
let's wait till Thomas and Bob L. have taken Eelco's test (blind
of course). <br>

<p>I think Thomas is much too sensitive about this subject of
album norm. No one is misdirecting this effort. Of course all
of us are preaching the same thing and the same priorities. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I just have taken on an additional evangelizing task on top
of all other evangelizing. I can present very strong technical
evidence that album normalization has some serious technical
advantages in addition to its esthetic advantages. This is
quite clear evidence so I'm already evangelizing wherever I
can. You guys need to hear that technical argument. <br>

<p>Hi everyone,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I do agree with Thomas but don't word it like that :-)<br>
</p>
<p>I would say that the division of work is not too bad - I
see myself and Thomas on the more basic side of things,
getting loudness norm spread as much as possible and on all
platforms. This is paramount. Once everyone is totally
comfortable with that being the only way to level audio we
can progress to more detailed work. But I appreciate that
some of you (Bob K and Eelco in particular) already do some
of the detailed work. It will be useful in the future at the
latest, occasionally also very soon (like with Tidal).<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Many countries have not yet moved to loudness norm in
general, and we need to change everyone's mindset. The
evangelising is by far not over. <br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So yes, Thomas and I will
continue to preach the general idea :-)</span><br>
</p>
<p>Please keep this in mind when communicating with audiences
who don't have the level of understanding and expertise that
we have.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>On a more specific note, I have also done Eelco's test
(just now). Interesting stuff!<br>
</p>
<p>And congrats to Eelco for setting this up. I am sure we
will discuss results once Eelco has done his presentation. I
can only say so much to my impression: it is fully in line
with what I said above....<br>

<p>All the best, Florian<br>

<div>Hi Bob K and Bob L,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It’s a great pity with Avenged and many
other bands coming to this sort of conclusion.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Loudness normalization on as many platforms
as possible as quickly as possible is way more important
than details we tend to get caught up with.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The next couple of years will be spent with
the TV/drama people discussing loudness vs dialog and
music folks discuss single vs album. Technicalities
while cultural heritage continues to suffer.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">cheers,</div>
<div class="">Thomas</div>
