More on volume. Moron volume.

So essentially there are 3 values to remember:

• The Program Loudness
• The Loudness Range
• The True Peak level

Mixing for broadcast loudness. 

At least this is what TC Electronic says.

"Studies have shown that 95% of the viewers will change the volume on their TV or receiver if the loudness jump or difference is an increase of 5 LU or decrease of 8 LU."

That seems like a pretty important thing to keep in mind I haven't heard anyone else mention.

For the real details check out this paper. 

I really need to get all of this information into my head, and figure out how to actually do it.

normalisation

Those are a couple words I'm likely to spell incorrectly as I am writing papers using UK English.

I am prejudiced toward Chicago Style, I admit, but I have to say that MLA (with all those in-line citations) is harder to read (Bellware, 2018.)

Mourning and Music in Blue Velvet.

One big thing I have learned whilst working on my Master's degree is where the bar is. I get so up in my own head that I can't hear things. And just having a tutor once a week to tell me if I'm standing on an island or sinking in the middle of the ocean is really incredibly helpful.
