Summary
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 Links and more episodes here: www.themasteringshow.com/episode-108 Mentioned in this episode: Tools For Ian's mastering plugins, click HERE Learn to master !
