Watching Over Me

''So, it seems it had to increase the volume even more than the video in this topic.''


Just to note:
YT does lower the volume of tracks over its threshold, but it doesn't raise the level of ones that are below...they just stay quiet!

Not sure about that. The tune sounded at about the same level as previous videos. That being said, it could simply be the video software I use that's bringing it up.

I'm 100% sure.

Here's a direct quote from Ian Shepherd on this very topic (mastering engineer for 20 years - Keane, Tricky, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Deep Purple, The Orb, Leslie Garret, Culture Club, Porcupine Tree, Andy Weatherall, The Las, Ozric Tentacles, Christine Tobin, New Order and King Crimson amongst many others.):

''So for example a reading of 6dB means your video is 6dB louder than YouTube’s Distribution Loudness level..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... - remember that YouTube doesn’t turn up quieter videos below its benchmark.''

If they still exist...

It's possible that functions such as Youtube's ''stable volume'': (balances the range between quiet and loud by continuously adjusting volume levels) might affect it to some small extent?

Or maybe their:
''Loudness Equalization'' function might make a little difference - (a feature that can help if the overall volume on the actual YouTube app itself is very low.)
