<p>Dear Kevin: As Eelco pointed out, in Bob Ludwig's rarefied
circle, these kinds of abuses occur so often they are the rule
rather than the exception. I attract many wonderful (thank
goodness) Indie artists who specifically come to me for the
quality of work that I do. So now I'm the exception that proves
the rule. I'm very proud of a lot of the work that I do. I don't
know how I could continue in this business if I did not love what
I do.... <br>
</p>
<p>And most of the popular music masters that I supply to the world
fall in a program level range from -16 LUFS to (only occasionally)
-14 LUFS. And the clients are buying it. I'm a very very lucky
guy. I get to make the best sounding masters...</p>
<p>It's a cruel, cruel world. Very few mastering engineers are still
in my position. <br>

<p>Bob K.</p>

<div>Hi Bob and Bob,</div>

<div>Good that you were able to comment on the article

<p>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. <br>

<div>Yeah, that’s a shame. But still I am glad for attention
to the loudness war in one of the world’s best read news
papers...</div>
<br>
<div>Cheers,</div>
