Convention Paper

Level Control in Digital Mastering

Authors: Nielsen, Søren H.; Lund, Thomas

AES Convention 107 · Paper 5019 · September 1999

Abstract

Music mastering is becoming a battle for maximum level rather than a quest for audio quality, because counting consecutive samples at 0 dBFS is not an adequate restriction of level. This paper will discuss alternatives. New measurement practices may turn into a standard with which recordings have to comply in order to use a proposed dynamic range approval (DRA).
