What is dynamic range in music? This video will explain what dynamic range in music is and why it is important. It is essential to understand dynamic range when mixing and mastering music.
If you're a music producer, or just enjoy listening to music, you should know how dynamic range in music works. You have probably heard about the loudness war. This is closely related to dynamic range. Dynamic range in music is vital in order for music to sound crisp and punchy. When music is too compressed, the dynamic range is restricted, and that will cause the music to be quite tiresome to listen to. This is what the loudness war was all about, by constantly trying to make music louder, the dynamic range got more and more restricted, and this eventually caused the music to sound bad, distorted, and tiresome to listen to.
In this video I will use FL Studio to show some examples on how dynamic range works in music, and how the loudness war affectsed music negatively.
So, what is dynamic range in music? Dynamic range is basically the difference between the loudest and quietest elements in a song. This is important because our hearing works by this principle. It constantly separates loud and quiet elements, trying to do judge distances and such. If a track is too compressed, there's very little difference between loud and quiet elements, in other words, the dynamic range is restricted.
Compressed music will tend to sound louder, and louder typically always sounds better to humans, but it is very important to find a good balance between dynamic range and loudness, or else the music will suffer from it.
In order for some things to be perceived as loud, something else has to be quiet in comparison. Our hearing needs a frame of reference. This is why dynamic range is so important in music. If the dynamic range is too restricted, it simply won't work very well, and it will quickly become very tiresome to listen to.
