Welcome

I've recently posted my Audio Engineering Society convention paper, "The Loudness War: Background, Speculation and Recommendations". This paper discusses the audible effects of hypercompression and looks at the loudness war in terms of game theory. After presenting evidence questioning the idea that louder recordings sell better, it suggests some possible ways to de-escalate the loudness war.


A shorter, updated paper, "The Loudness War: Do Louder, Hypercompressed Recordings Sell Better?" was published in the May 2011 Journal of the Audio Engineering Society. (Not a free download, but author's copy available on request.)
