Who is to blame? Of course, there are those who are more responsible than others and will have to account for it, but &#8230; If you are looking for a culprit, just look in a mirror. I know why Lo I did. I know you were scared. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The main argument of this decibel competition is taken from a psychoacoustic phenomenon: the human ear, if it is subjected to two identical pieces in all respects, will find that what is even a stronger decibel &#8220;sounds better&#8221;. The famous Fletcher-Munson curves partially explain this phenomenon: the weaker the sound, the less bass and treble are perceived. Therefore, a louder sound will not only appear linearly more powerful, but also richer &#8220;frequently&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cetearelectronica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/loudness-war.jpg\" alt=\"Loudness War\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From there, to see an equivalence between &#8220;sounding louder&#8221; and &#8220;sounding better,&#8221; there is only one step, which music producers and radio directors in particular cheerfully crossed: the same tubes that loop through each other. All the Main stations, playing them higher was a way to stand out and attract new listeners. But holding them exclusively liable would be a mistake. In fact, like Iggy Pop, the artists themselves wanted to sound louder than their competitors. Sound engineers weren&#8217;t left out either: A well-known tip from mastering engineers who lacked time or inspiration was simply to assemble the mix a few decibels and go. Finally, the new millennium saw fans participate in the race, helped by the emergence of home schooling and the democratization of digital accessories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Too strong? Eat THIS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The popularization of mobile devices in the 1980s was also an important factor. Aboard the car radio and portable audio player, the radio and K7s come out of their living room and venture into the kitchen, take to the streets, take the car or plane, and rest on the beach. The sound must be more powerful in order to cover the background noise, and its dynamics (difference between the weakest and loudest sounds) is reduced to prevent the listener from doing the yo-yo with the volume button.<\/p>\n<p>But frankly, basically, what would perpetual increase in noise be a problem? If the level increases, we just have to lower the knob! In fact, this oversupply would not mean any, provided it has an unlimited margin. Unfortunately, as with children, there are limits: the maximum dynamic range of a CD is 96 dB, radio levels around 60 dB, the speakers are separated above a certain sound pressure. , the consoles are saturated, not to mention our ears whose danger threshold is 90 dB, the pain threshold at 120 dB and the destruction threshold at 140 dB. How, then, to sound &#8220;stronger&#8221;, respecting the limits of the different formats and materials?<\/p>\n<p>Stronger !<\/p>\n<p>Here we are in the belly of the beast: how to offer a subjective sensation of greater power, without exceeding the maximum allowed sound level? And what exactly does it mean to sound &#8220;louder&#8221; when you can&#8217;t turn up the volume anymore?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dynamic_compression\"><\/span>Dynamic compression<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the waveform for Norah Jones&#8217; song Turn Me On: on the abscissa (horizontal), time, on the ordinate (vertical), amplitude, or volume. The peaks we see represent the loudest sounds, and the finest parts represent the weakest passages. The difference between the high amplitude signals and the others visually well marked, one does not even need to listen to the song to know that its dynamics are excellent. The mixture breathes and nuances are free to express themselves, in power as well as in softness. If we wanted to raise the level of this song in a classic way, by turning the knob or raising the faders, the amplitude of the peaks would quickly reach the maximum level, after which the signal would begin to distort. To increase the subjective level, therefore, it is necessary to decrease the difference between the peak of these peaks and the average level, then increase the overall volume &#8211; this is called dynamic compression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1973 came Raw Power, an album that punk icon Iggy Pop wanted to be the strongest in the world.
