Reply to comment by No-Context5479 in Why sometime youtube video's sounds more wide than Spotify sound. by syahniel

all good :) you seem to know much more than me on that subject, i was just sharing what most people are saying about it if i googled * spotify normalize volume *, results seems to point towards turning it off to have better sound quality most of the time on reddit and head-fi.

That was debunked years ago by Spotify themselves and people verified that with ABX tests.

So I advice putting it back on and using Quiet or Normal. Really makes it easy on the ears for long listening sessions. Loud is not it at all for me... Cranks the volume which I'm trying to avoid anything beyond 75dB...

Also all good... We all are still learning in this space... Learned something new the other day about Vents and IEMs which I knew nothing of. 👍🏾

I prefer to let it turned off, i dont feel the need to use it. the loudness level difference between tracks is really minor to me. i cant recall being surprised by a big change of loudness from one track to another but i know that it can happen sometimes, i guess im just lucky.

Yeah I listen to a vast amount of genres who have their own "standard" industry LUFS. Classical tends to be the most dynamic rangefilled genre so their LUFS never gets beyond -14... Pop and other genres like electronic music who tend to crank their compression sometimes. A sudden change in songs is very audible and sometimes jarring so I never want to be overly distracted so smooth transitions all around... But I get you. Preferences, preferences 🤝🏾
