PERCEIVED LOUDNESS PT. 1 🔊

You may have heard of Perceived Loudness in music…
But what exactly is it?🧐
The best way to explain this is by showing you the Fletcher-Munson curves.
This is how our ears pick up sound over different frequency ranges…
Our ears are most sensitive around 1k as shown on the graph 📈
This is where police sirens and alarms would be 🚨
It’s also where vocals and guitars are too, as this is where your ears pick up the loudest points.
A lot to take in, I know 😰
Tomorrow I’ll talk about it in more depth, don’t worry 😆

Love this!

Brilliant thanks 🙏🏽

[@geegoboyrecords1975]

Awesome 👏

For some reason I have always understood the Fletcher Munson curve to mean that low frequencies have a higher perceived loudness than high frequencies. But I never thought that seemed right to my ears. Thanks for explaining it in a way I could finally understand!
One thing though about police sirens. In the US, they have begun using a new siren that is a sub frequency. And you can hear it much better than the classic siren. It cuts through the road noise and the car stereo and I feel like it can be heard at a much greater distance. What's that about?

wake up babe, new police bassline just dropped

Nooooo. I want to know NOW !!!! 😂

I saw a video recently where the engineer used "Clipping" instead of a limiter in order to achieve loudness. It audibly was much punchier as it didn't turn the whole frequency range down, only the transients that were clipped. Worked best on the drums etc. What do you think about this method?

i know about the fletcher munson curves

[@alsteooaai]

Hi, how do you advise me to obtain music tuned to 432Hz and with a binaural frequency?

It’s a term , not a word . If anything it woulda been 2 words 😊
