Loudness and Metering (Part 1)

February 6, 2013 by Varun Nair

Guest contribution by Owen Green [This is the first of a two part series on loudness, mixing, metering and the new ITU loudness spec] Understanding the complex relationship between sound level and perceived loudness turns out to be very important to us as designers of sound for a number of reasons: Our perception of loudness is not constant (or even remotely linear) … [Read more...]

It’s Time to Talk About the Loud!

February 1, 2013 by Shaun Farley

It’s Time to Talk About the Loud!

It's February 1st. That means it's a new month with a new featured topic. This time around, we'll be digging into the subject of loudness metering. When we refer to "loudness" we're talking about those specific documents you've been hearing more and more about over the last few years: ITU-R BS.1770, EBU-R128, and ATSC-RP A/85. Whether you know what all of that means or not, … [Read more...]

David Farmer Special: Perception of Sound

September 23, 2010 by Miguel Isaza

David Farmer Special: Perception of Sound

I'd like to talk a little on the perception of sound. We've mentioned how intangible it is, and therefore our perception of it is wide open to our own interpretation. I like this definition of Perception, as found on Wikipedia: "The processes of perception routinely alter what humans see. When people view something with a preconceived concept about it, they tend to take those … [Read more...]
