How streaming services and TV manage volume, what momentary, short-term and integrated LUFS mean, how to read them on Logic's Loudness Meter and Mastering Assistant, and how to use loudness normalisation to your advantage.

A clear, hype-free explanation of loudness for release that argues for keeping dynamics rather than chasing a number.
