Ever since the beginning of recorded music, we've wanted to make songs as loud as possible. But it wasn't until the development of CDs that it became possible to push songs louder than ever. Over the decades, that's just what happened. Music got louder and louder--at the expense of musical quality. This was the Loudness War. And streaming music put an end to it (more or less). Here's how. Enjoy!

Streaming Music presents another problem entirely. With streaming, Songs or Albums can be pulled from the service due to licensing, Artist refusing to use the same mainstream media talking points, etc.

The loudness war is not over, nor will it ever be. That is, so many people have become accustomed to that flat, over compressed sound that dynamic music seems too quiet and distant to them. The unfortunate fact is that the loudness war has caused permanent damage.

@@kevincomerford2242 Normalizing the volume of a track brings the OVERALL volume to the same AVERAGE level. It does not alter the track itself. It's basically just a volume knob. It does not alter the level of individual moments in a track, so if there's a louder and quieter part in the track, it's still there just as normal, but if there's a track that is SUPER LOUD all the time, that track will be reduced to the same average loudness of the quieter track. Again, this doesn't raise and lower the volume of different moments in the track, it only turns the overall volume of the track down the same way lowering the volume on your sound system would. You can demonstrate this by downloading a track from KZread and examining its waveform in Audacity. All the peaks and valleys will still be there, despite the fact that the track has been normalized.

But now there is an attention span war

I remember running some software for hours to normalize my whole mp3 collection in mid 2000s, otherwise some songs where too quiet and others made my ears bleed. I also had a special tool to fix the file tags in bulk, to make them consistent because mp3 players though that "KoRn" and "Korn" were two different bands. Keeping my mp3 library nice and organised was a substantial effort back then. Discovering new music was also very time consuming. Streaming is way more convenient, but I'm getting tired of missing or disappearing albums, bonus songs and artist. I might need to dust off my old archive some day.

Loudness is not just volume/amplitude; it's also the volume/amplitude of each frequency band. Check out the Fletcher-Munson curve. We hear different frequencies at the same amplitude as being louder or quieter. Our sensitivity to sound is not flat across the spectrum. For this reason and for other psychoacoustic reasons (i.e. if a sound is droning/not changing over a long period of time, then your brain tunes it out or reduces it's loudness in your mind), a lot of really smart people developed an algorithm for measuring loudness called "LUFS". It's not perfect and there is no such thing as a perfect measurement of loudness (everyone hears things slightly differently), but it's what most services use, including youtube, to calculate loudness. But there's actually still plenty of services which leave the audio untouched or not normalized. While KZread, Spotify, iTunes, etc.. all normalize LUFS... Soundcloud, TikTok, Instagram, etc leave the levels where they are.

I would argue the loudness was a response to how we were listening to the music. Radio became more and more a car experience which is where most music gets discovered. The car is very noisey which doesn’t allow for enjoyable dynamic music as you wouldn’t hear the quiet bits.

@The Good Stuff Yes the Loudness Wars are over and loudness over dynamics won the battle a very long time ago. The only thing that streaming service providers have done is adopt a loudness standard (in this case LUFS) and while this is a good step in the right direction, it is only one of many steps that need to be taken to truly resolve the Loudness Wars. I can do the exact same thing these providers are doing by taking a modern, hyper compressed recording and put the track through Audacity and enable the 'Normalize' feature. Sure it lowers the volume of the track, but it still sounds bad because the damage was already done during the mixing and mastering phase of the recordings (extreme compression/limiting, clipping and bad EQ). The main issue lies with modern recording practices going all the way up to the mastering chain. We need to re-educate the recording industry going from the record labels/Producers/Mixing Engineers/Mastering Engineers to adapt and adhere to these new LUFS standards in order for the issue to be corrected. Of course the excuse for loudness is always going to win out where they say its "a purely artistic and musical decision" when they do not need to follow this process anymore. Mastering Engineer Bob Katz addressed all of this in the following article published over 7 years ago: www.soundonsound.com/techniques/end-loudness-war

I hate the loudness war, I am a non audio engineer weighing in but back in the day I used to listen to FM radio in my car and FM stations would lift the softer sections with compression, driving 70 miles an hour I thought that was a good idea, that was bringing up the softer parts of the music above the road noise. I agree with over limiting and compression has ruined dynamics, it’s gone to far.

I'm not even convinced by your main thesis. One can still make a track sound louder for a given peak waveform level. Unless streaming services use an algorithm that figures out perceptual loudness, there will still be producers compressing & maximizing their work to sound louder.

Yes, but it eliminates the reason for increasing the loudness of your song using all kinds of goofy compression techniques, because in the end the streaming service is going to lower the volume to the same as everyone else's.

Nope, streaming services and new vinyls only normalized music volume, dynamic range is still low in vast majority of modern recordings

I am so glad this has a name. I HATE how music is so loud. I don't listen to streaming music really, mostly just songs I like from KZread (I agree with @Lucid Moses, they need to normalize badly). However, this makes me think of how almost all audio on any website/game/software/whatever is DEFAULT to the MAX volume. WHY?? Why not just start at 50%? Even very common console games (Minecraft I'm looking at you) have their default volumeS (yes, there are multiple individual volumes for ambiance, monsters, etc.) as well as their primary volume always set to maximum. It needs to stop.

Replaced by the LCD (lowest common denominator) war.

The funny thing is, there is a way to get over the " LUFS limit " that youtube restricts everyone to.

0:08 - we shall not ignore the fact that artist had to cope with record labels, tv and radio stations and their request. before the internet a song would not be played on mainstream media even if it was a masterpiece. only a couple songs broke free of the three minutes rule - one of them was "bohemian rhapsody" has a musician's life got better over the last years... i dont know, but the mcd cheeseburger is the most purchased hamburger where i live and no one ever in the history of humanity has called it a masterpiece of cuisine.

The final result. If you turn down the scream it won't start to sound like a whisper

The lathe just wouldn't be able to handle it. Normalization (as I explain in the video) lowers levels so all the songs in a playlist are pretty much the same loudness.
