inside my computer it makes a lot of sense but the outside world is scary and LOUD!
so does anybody use this?
what do you do when you send it off to the outside world that never heard of R-128?
I mean, the vast majority of songs everybody else creates are climbing all over one another to get as close to 0dB as possible.
And now what do you do with your -23 dB signal?
Once you render your mix to -23 LUFS you then finalise to -10 RMS
yeah, back at square one?
Bob is The Man! I just hope his predictions will become reality. Meanwhile I don’t see any use for loudness meter inside a DAW: use your ears. Let the mastering engineer take care about the absolute loudness … and hope your mastering engineer isn’t the one who mastered Metallica.
It’ll also give your mastering engineer a lovely margin to play about with then maximise to -10 RMS
