Audio Peak vs Average Levels: How our ears perceive loudness

Recently I posted a link to TurnMeUp.org, a project that aims to restore the dynamics and range of sound in today’s audio production. The problem is that consumers are being fed increasingly over-compressed, over-produced music and audio, and it’s created a loudness war of sorts. What’s really interesting about all this, is that human ears actually perceive more dynamic music as louder. There’s a very informative post over at the Mastering Media blog that deals with this, check it out.
