| yeah you are right! Pop music sounds like ass in high spl levels, but trance seems to be following the curve. |

Well, If they are going to be at a club, RMS hardly means anything other than a songs volume relation to another song. If a song has an RMS of -2db. [Yes, RMS, not peak], but its coming out of a PA system at 40 decibles. And you have a song with an RMS of -10, but its coming out of a PA at 60 decibles. The song with the lower RMS will still hurt more and fatigue you. Because its louder.
I doubt it will get much more louder, humans have a limited range of hearing. And increasing that range doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
As for the future of EDM, and will it go to lower average RMS levels, I don't know. I don't see the grid being up that long. [What with the apocalypse happening any year now] Me being the pessemist that I am, Id say its only going downhill. |
Firstly 604, I'm not arguing with you for any other reason than your science is wrong - I'm not having a go.
If a song has an RMS of -2db then it's coming out clipped, so it will sound like anyway. (a wave with any sine component cannot exist higher than -3dbfs without clipping).
60db (and what I think you actually mean is 60dbfs) is louder than 40dbfs. period. There are no two ways about it. 60dbfs is louder than 40dbfs and the source has nothing to do with it (peak or rms) because the measurement is taken as an absolute value of loudness at the listening position itself, in this case the PA. |

I know, what I am saying is, in terms of causing damage to the ear, the peak or rms has less effect than the actual dbfs.
A minimal track peaking at -10db, but with a dbfs of 256...will demolish your ear. |

I think what you mean is a track with -10dbFS but with and 256db spl.
DB by itself, does not mean anything. It's like saying "miles per".
Miles per what?
Without a reference qualification it's meaningless, but most people just say DB - they are completely different things depending on the application. |

| In this forum most people use "db" to mean dbfs, which is usually clear from the context of the discussion. |

| Well, i'm talking about the actual loudness. Ie. The stuff that can phsyically damage your ear. |

Yes, too many times to count. He is just being facetious becuase when you've been on here a while, the same old bull keeps coming up and you need a bit of scolding humor to keep it real.
Just ask Mr. Mystery ;) |
