Why is most commercial music still mastered so loud even though the loudness war is effectively over?
>>107124769WHAT?!?
Most music still relies on the bad sound quality of most speakers and headphones. That "industry" works like that, it's their culture and they'll not change.Electro tends to be better (even if the music they make is slop) because they don't need to hide bad instruments, fix the drunktard bass guitarist and there's no ego conflicts during mastering

i like this pepe
>>107124769Is is though?
>>107124769Well you still don't want to be too quiet because we all have monkey brains that perceive loud to be better. So albums aren't ever going to be as quiet as they were in like the 80s though. But most streaming platforms and shit don't allow more than like a -2 DB true peak, so luckily you can't really ear rape as hard as some albums in the 2000s did. There's really no excuse to not have a dynamic mix in this day and age though.
