Shownotes

I used to say that the Loudness Range (LRA) measurement wasn't really useful when mastering - but recently I changed my mind. In this episode I explain why, and how loudness range is actually something you might want to pay attention to, as well.

Topics include:

  • What is the Loudness Range ?
  • How is it different to Dynamic Range ?
  • What even IS Dynamic Range, anyway ?
  • Why did I say that LRA wasn't helpful ?
  • How I changed my mind, and why
  • How LRA could be useful for you
