Continued thread

When I switch to the melodic range spectrogram layer, you can see WHERE the ref mix is louder. The low end is much more powerful throughout.

But there are also some short higher pitches (xylophone, I think?) arpeggiating throughout that are much louder. It's PRETTIER, but I didn't actually like how bright they were in the ref mix.

Reference mix is on top; our mix is on bottom. These are normalized to -1 dB peak, because I am specifically evaluating the mix. (If I just wanted to compare how they sounded and which I preferred, then it would make sense to normalize to perceived loudness, the default for #ffmpeg-normalize.)

Our mix has more dynamic range, prob too much. That fits _my_ tastes, but it's not what the market prefers. You can see some limiting in the ref mix, but not excessive.

OK, another cool #SonicVisualiser trick:

With the plugin pack installed (specifically the Match plugin), it can analyze and automatically line up audio files that are different versions of the same thing.

So if you are A/B testing different revisions of audio (even different lengths as here), it will automagically sync them up

and whichever you have selected is solo'd by default, so you can easily A/B test while you listen
