Posting here b/c it prob won't get moved ;-)

I mix a lot of concerts and almost always to -14 EBU average for the song.
 
For any given concert, I set the volume and almost never need to touch it.
 
This holiday, I made a random mix of tunes from the year to hand out to my ppl and the volume required for all the tunes (all mixed at -14) varies hugely based on the target playback volume for the gig.
 
It's really interesting to me. I would have thought that different bands could all be listened to at the same volume if they all have the same average on the EBU meter, but really, not at all, and this surprised me.

StudioCat > I use Windows 10 and Sonar Platinum. I have a touch screen.
I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    Would some under-performing jobsworth immediately please be good enough to immediately move this thread immediately to the Coffee immediately House?
     
    In your own time, of course.

    Yup this is the untouchable coffee house. It has been established that no posts will be moved from here regardless of whether it will be more appropriate in other forums or not, which effectively makes this the new Sonar forum ;)

    Not much moderation going on here..
    Enjoy...! :)

    I think all threads in all forums should be moved.  Randomly.

    I have the distinction of having a thread moved from the CH!!
     
    What if someone posted the same thread in every forum. Would they all be moved to the CH except for the one posted in the CH?
