I think you hit the nail on the head with this one!<BR/><BR/>Those of us who are fighting the loudness war need as much info as possible, and I think many are misinformed about the vinyl versions of recent rock albums.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tungbass.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">tung</A>tunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552514918380270715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134504104737795551.post-25963015613370479472008-09-09T15:53:00.000-05:002008-09-09T15:53:00.000-05:00Thanks as usual for your excellent comments, Bob. ...Thanks as usual for your excellent comments, Bob. It is extremely informative to know that you treat your vinyl masters nicely.<BR/><BR/>Peak to <I>loudness</I> measurement, eh? I didn't catch that the first time I read it. You mean a time-varying adaptation like 50ms blocking with BS.1770? That actually makes a lot of sense. <BR/><BR/>Not sure I want to be in like Larry Flynt though. ;)Richard Tollertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090397860437358524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134504104737795551.post-73725453733212061182008-09-09T12:43:00.000-05:002008-09-09T12:43:00.000-05:00If the waveform plot of the vinyl actually represe...If the waveform plot of the vinyl actually represents a transfer from a less compressed master which did not go through the heavy processing that created the CD, then it could possibly sound better. <BR/><BR/>Whenever I make dual masters for CD and for vinyl, I produce the vinyl master prior to any of the peak limiting or any additional loudness makers other than the ones there for esthetic purposes.<BR/><BR/>The measurement that should work is <BR/>Peak to Loudness ratio, with the loudness using a standard measure like the new BS.1770, which is close enough to perceived loudness to be useful. Adapt this to a K-System-style meter and you're in like flynt.bobkatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074473375440326411noreply@blogger.com
