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.ChameleonMusic wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2024 10:59 am ''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!

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.)
