"AT the 147th AES Convention in New York, Eelco Grimm has present his AES paper 10268 “Analyzing Loudness Aspects of 4.2 million Music Albums in Search of an Optimal Loudness Target for Music Streaming”. The research for this paper was performed in 2017 for HKU University of the Arts Utrecht (where Eelco lectures), in cooperation with music streaming service TIDAL.
