@nationalrailenq Thanks for the reply 😢

[Ian Shepherd @ianshepherd]

@frodebass Sorry, I missed this - not here much these days. You can work through the course elements at your own speed, but I run it 3 or 4 times a year so people can join the livestreams as they go through it, yes.

Today's the day !

I’m proud to announce the release of my new product - Loudness Penalty Studio.

Because the most important thing about the Loudness Penalty isn’t *really* the number.

For anyone asking where you can hear the Atmos mix of The Beatles ‘Now and Then’, the answer is Apple Music, TIDAL and Amazon Music.

And if you don’t use one of those services, here’s a very quick comparison!

@nationalrailenq @marytryan82 @samaritans My son is in Brighton. Can he get to Cambridge tonight ? If so, which trains & times please ?

[Ian Shepherd @ianshepherd]

@BonamyOliver @acamh Wow, congrats !

[Ian Shepherd @ianshepherd]

@Wow_Flutter That’s not supposed to happen, which device are you using ?

[Daleternal @DaleRRiley]

@ianshepherd
A fantastic article by
#IanShepard regarding the obvious technical issues involving the release of " Now and Then "
Looking forward to the clearer #Atmos version arriving soon
Thank you !

Had the pleasure of trying out @ianshepherd and @meterplugs excellent Perception A/B plugin recently.

It's one of those tools where once you try it it seems almost bizarre this isn't already inside every DAW!

"Loudness Deception" indeed.

Sorry for the slow reply, not here much any more 😕

The best answer I can give you is at the end of this video by Dan Worrall where he clearly explains the issues https://t.co/QwLlVXpeFF

Hope it helps !

@ianshepherd @jamesblake @mylarmelodies Hi Ian hope all is well, i been listening to your podcast while at work, and it has really helped me with most of my mastering queries so I'd like to thank you for providing such insight! I have a question regarding dither, should i use it if exporting direct to mp3 from my Daw?

[Ian Shepherd @ianshepherd]

Blown away by how great this conversation between @jamesblake and @mylarmelodies is on the Why We Bleep podcast - SO good, on so many levels...

@Wow_Flutter @siggidori @BBC @BBCSounds Unnecessary FM radio processing to ensure consistent levels and “signature sound” 😕 Standard practise, unfortunately 🤷‍♂️

[Ian Shepherd @ianshepherd]

Fantastic new video on the
@MixdownOnline
channel showing how Chris uses my Perception AB plugin when mixing - including a short demo from me using it to master the same song 👍
