so we can get more objective about loudness related decisions and better describe the curvewe're perceiving in our heads. The parameters for this stuff are very well established, why doesn't this exist yet? Somebody go make this already and get rich.
to more accurately describe the actual perceived loudness of a recording. I feel like someone should create a "critical band" based meter which approximates our psychoacoustic tendency to shift critical band center frequencies to target the loudest frequency components...
and a crappy high shelf above 1k, in an attempt to approximate perceptual loudness as we perceive it. I understand a sone meter would require too much DSP to be integrated as a standard into distribution and whatnot, but that doesn't stop its application in studios...
but I don't see why it couldn't be scaled to describe the loudness of a mix or master in the digital realm.
It uses different weightings for each critical band, as opposed to the LUFS meter which is only weighted via a highpass above the bass range (lol)...
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...
After quitting my job and becoming fully feral I will be dedicating most of my time to porting Reaper to Red Star OS.
If you have a cat named bitwig I'm gonna bug out.
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.

Fennel is a very nice name for a cat.
My unsanctioned human tests studying infrasonic exposure on people around the studio have been getting less ethical lately.

Frantically plugging headphones into laptop like it's an emergency rn.
Ok that's all the blessing I need

I make sure something clips and it sounds good.
Gotta love RFK saying autistics don't have to pay taxes...the fucking day after tax day.

Mine are set to heavy bedding I think.
They're somehow incredibly intuitive, but also have one brain cell rattling around in there like a ping pong ball in a clothes dryer.
But would ultimate truth ever come in the form of something heavily marketed by podcasters/youtubers? Think about the type of things that get heavily marketed by them and how plenty of those things end up.
Idk, nobody is neutral anymore, there’s way too much to gain out there.
Anybody else think ground.news might be a psyop? Im wary of anyone claiming to be neutral right now, bilaterally.
I feel like there’s an AI driven pursuit towards universal truth and the reality of what the hell is actually going on in the world right now.
I never thought I would wind up doing something like this, but I see now that it is my greater calling in this life and will continue doing it until I bankrupt myself beyond repair.

If you've supported Reference Sessions you are one of my favorite people, and if you are my clients you are literally providing the funding to make this (and more or less exclusively this) happen.
money and my incurred debt, like it should be. And like it always will be for now on.
Also, pre-order shirts will ship this week, posters have already been shipped and will arrive soon if not already!
scene at my own loss. I'm still $15k in the hole from the last event, but I'm working my ass off mastering/aligning/teaching to make money, and plotting and scheming on how to get money faster (via whatever devious shit required) to do the next Reference Sessions exclusively on my own earned...
This scene needs philanthropic patrons, especially in an era where it is impossible to make money throwing parties anyway, and capitalists are incapable of understanding this. I intend to demonstrate my value to the community through my donations towards the wellbeing of the overall...
