Quick question, why the fuck aren't we using sone/critical band meters instead of LUFS/Crest/RMS meters to describe the "loudness" of a given piece of music? I understand that the sone scale was meant to describe acoustic loudness as opposed to electronic loudness...

In the middle of an abandoned city, a decommissioned robot sits quietly among the ruins. It’s screen flickers with the last echoes of the old world, a witness to all the moments lost.

My unsanctioned human tests studying infrasonic exposure on people around the studio have been getting less ethical lately.

Anybody else think ground.news might be a psyop? Im wary of anyone claiming to be neutral right now, bilaterally.

Ok so there is no financing for Reference Sessions anymore apart from me, and I'm not complaining. Nobody bled harder for those two parties than me, I took an equivalent loss to my wealthy former investor in the last party, and I lost my own money exclusively at the first one.

Super papa-bless to big dog baller and legitimate electricity wizard Dan Lavry for creating the only device I've ever come across in my mastering career that I have ever ascribed any degree of real mysticism to.

smooth criminal, but it's just the "you've been hit by" bit over and over again, gradually increasing in volume until it becomes a dissonant mess

Unhinged Rant Of The Day: Cross-platform translation is sometimes overrated. If you're making a deep dub anthem and want your pure sine sub to stay pure, don't saturate it, fuck those guys that don't have subs, maybe this tune isn't FOR them.
