I hadn't heard of DSM before, but will certainly give it a go. Thanks for the heads up.

thanks you so much ruairioflaherty for your insights on the topic and the technics shared, it's a pleasure to have someone with your knowledge, experience and patience with us.
You know that loudness is not peak level, neither RMS. There can be several programs with identical peak and RMS level and different loudness.Matador said:For example, if I have a track that is peak limited to -0.01 dbfs and has an average level that sits at -1 dbfs,
The loudness war rages in the context of radio and streaming, where all tracks are played in the same environment, but producer A wants to be louder than producer B.It seems that 'loud' only has a relative context between two tracks, that are played under the exact same 'external' conditions ('external', meaning the playback environment).
As a producer, I don't need to have consistent loudness from beginning to end of a CD, unless the tracks are so similar they actually seem to be the same. I often increase the loudness as the song goes; this is complementary with the arrangement increasing in complexity, starting with just an acoustic guitar or a piano, and bringing tracks progressively.And I get that when mastering a CD, you want the CD to be consistent across all of the tracks, but isn't that yet again a different problem than 'loudness'?

Is anyone else having the same impressions?

Mainly because it lacks presence at low level for me.
