The Loudness War Is DEAD!!!
- Loudness Normalization used by YouTube, Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming sites "Level" the playing field!
From Ian Shepherd's outstanding "Production Advice" website:
YouTube just put the final nail in the Loudness War’s coffin
(Ian has been a loudness wars expert and leading proponent of "Dynamic Range Day" which helps raise the industry's
awareness of the harmful effects of hyper-compression and over-limiting.)
So you still want it LOUDER??
Here is a worthwhile exercise from a mastering engineer's viewpoint:
- Tune Core "Use it to get your music everywhere" - Trent Reznor
- CD Baby Everyone's heard of CDBaby...like TuneCore, they'll help you get on iTunes
- Band Camp FREE - and a good place to start when the budget is tight
- Sound Cloud Make your music a social event!
- Assuming that you're registered with ASCAP or BMI, licensing your music makes sense.
Music is needed for anything you can think of - movies, advertisements, television shows, podcasts, the list goes on -
and so does your music's earning potential!
