Dynamics. I talk about them ALL the time. “This song has great dynamics”… “make sure you keep plenty of dynamics”… “your music NEEDS balanced dynamics”… but what actually ARE they ?

Just like everything else we talk about on this show, dynamics are more complicated than they might seem at first glance. For example, there are at least two different types ! In this show we unpick the topic and try to shed some life on the truth about dynamics, including:

* Why the loudness war hasn’t reduced loudness range
* Why “DR” measurements don’t measure dynamic range
* Why “crest factor” is a better term, and how it relates to the two types of dynamics
* The natural dynamics of different sounds, and
* When you don’t want to hear them
* What Ian really thinks of the Prodigy, Skrillex and the Chemical Brothers – and their dynamics
* How to measure dynamics
