Abstract:
The Tribunal is ready to present an update on the Loudness Wars. Important 2015 developments include Apple Music and WHO’s sudden attention to sound exposure from Personal Media Players (PMPs). Both will have an impact on our industry at large, good or bad.
The panel will cover production, mastering, and distribution of quality audio, and we will discuss how the prevention of hearing loss fits in as a key element. While our most social sense must be preserved, cultural aspects should not be forgotten. We need something worth listening to also :-).
