What is the loudness war in music? In this video, I will explain what the loudness war is all about. The loudness war is something that happened with the introduction of the CD. Music producers realized they could make their music louder than the competition. Louder always sounds better to humans, and by making the music louder, it was believed that people would appreciate the music over the competition. Unfortunately, this pursuit of louder and louder music resulted in the music losing quality, and ending up sounding distorted. You can only make music louder until a certain point before it starts to degrade, and that's what the loudness war is basically all about. The loudness war, in the end, became a very bad thing for music in general.
If you are a producer you have probably heard about the loudness war. But what is it exactly? And will it ever end? This video will highlight all the important stuff you need to know about the loudness war. Some people say the loudness war is finally over, but that's not entirely true. It's true that today we are much better off than we were at the start of the loudness war. However, the war is still not officially over, and a lot of music is still suffering from it.
Make sure to check out my next video about the loudness war where I will be talking about the end of the loudness war, and what you need to know in order to make sure your tracks sound good after it's finally over.
