<div dir="ltr">The bigger picture here is that there is no
comprehensive consensus on target loudness. Eelco's recent
research indicates -14 LUFS can work. Bob's AES report
recommends -16 to -20 LUFS. The EBU and ATSC recommend -23 and
-24 LUFS respectively.

Dear Kevin, it's important to know that the -14 LUFS for loudest
track in an album is quite consistent with a -16 LUFS integrated
loudness. So there is no serious discrepancy there. Eelco has
studies of I think 50 or more music pieces where the average for the
album is at least 2 dB lower than the loudest track, or lower. <br>
<br>
So this remains within the -16 through -20 LUFS recommendation of
the subcommittee for integrated loudness.<br>
<br>
I'll be proposing to the streaming loudness subcommittee that we
revise the recommendation such that if album normalization is used
(and recommended) that accepting a higher target than was used for
track loudness would not be a discrepancy. We'll use Eelco's data as
support. <br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
