The so-called “Loudness War” is a persisting issue in the Recording Industry since the late 1980’s when Compact Discs (CDs) were first introduced. It involves the practice of digitally mastering albums with high levels of loudness and a significant reduction in dynamic range. Which means, there is less difference between the loud peaks and the quiet sections producing a sound that is uniformly loud from the beginning to the end. I’d rather not get too technical with it as I don’t want to bore you guys to death. I’d like to share a video on it just to show you the basics behind it instead.
