YouTube ended the war volume Bashny.Net

From about December 2014 to join the old YouTube as the world войну Volume , music labels which are to each other. Everyone wants to make their music louder than the competition. For decades, the volume of music on CDs increased steadily and at some point reached a limit, which is supported by the standard. As a result, the studio began to compress and amplification, which results in limitation of the amplitude signal quality loss.

Radio stations try to equalize the volume of all music tracks in the playlist, so that it does not exceed the volume of advertising. Now the same thing started to make and YouTube. It reduces the volume too loud tracks to -13 LUFS abbr>, so that the studios have no sense to fight.

And users nice when tracks in playlist YouTube does not "jump" on the volume, so you have to constantly jump to the columns.

It is interesting that some of the tracks on YouTube now sound better than CD-ROM i>! For example, here is how looks the audio for the same song, captured disk (top) and remove from official version of the clip to YouTube .





It seems that the studio has already made adjustments and make a different sound for CDs and YouTube. If you listen to both versions, the latter does seem preferable.

However, volume normalization leads to a small unpleasant side effects , because in reality, the music is not created on the same volume. Some specifically want to make quiet tracks, while others - loud. This is one of the artistic techniques that YouTube elegantly destroyed.

Secondly, for the old tracks, filled in previous years, YouTube has not done normalization, so that they can be louder and quieter than -13 LUFS.

But overall, this innovation is much more pluses than minuses.
