My understanding is that the streaming services basically ended the loudness war by imposing volume normalition. I’m not sure that I want to restart it.

That’s true, from a certain point of view. What they actually did was give everyone a common target. We still get everything compressed and limited into a flat line, just now we don’t have to adjust the volume on our stereo between songs.

I donlt know if mastering engineers are doing so, but the streaming services removed the volume benefit to doing so. If you use DRC, your music will be cut in volume.
