One of the big problems of the Loudness Wars was a tendency to work consistently up to 0dBFS – in other words, pushing everything in the mix, even the mix itself, as close to the top of the meter scale as possible. Put simply, choice is being put back in our hands – we can choose between our music is pushed to the limits or an alternative where we give the arrangement room to breathe without fear the listener hears a dramatically quieter mix. Streaming has actively changed the way we produce music, in this case, driven by the Loudness Correction used by the likes of Spotify and iTunes that actively turns down overcooked masters. There’s a quiet revolution taking place in the music production industry – a movement that places emphasis on transient detail and dynamic range rather than the ‘needles in the red’ sound that epitomised the Loudness Wars.
