When I started going to studios in the early 90s, recording engineers used to set a boundary called 0db rule; it is a standard limit set for music volume to make sure that loudness for media is the same everywhere. Producers and sound engineers are aware of this rule and no one pushes music beyond that level, because digital devices misrepresents audio signal above this level.
Today, setting up a digital studio is cheap and home studio owners who have little or no idea about music production have produced more music than commercial studios and have caused a shift in the way people hear music. Findings show that listeners perceive music of 90s and earlier not loud enough when compared to 21st century music. This is what has changed:
21ST CENTURY KILLING DYNAMICS
Music is more interesting when the volume varies, sometimes you just want the vocals or acoustic guitar or string or hi hats alone in a piece of music. But now everything is equally
loud even in live sound.
This is my message today music is not about competition, it’s about mood, feel, groove, content, space, emotion and transportation, this cannot be achieved when everything is just loud. Practice dynamics! It will make you feel good.
Cheers!
