It's been a while since I last uploaded a composition to the forum.
That is not to say I haven't been producing new work.
My latest composition is very much over indulged and in the link below
https://youtu.be/t_cFIHi6WAU?si=vUaFMW-GczyzRsKt
At the end of the video if you click on the subsequent left end card of each composition it will take you to the next one.
There are twelve compositions in all. Most are not of similar genres as I'm quite eclectic.
The point of all this though is, I mixed all tracks to have the same perceived loudness according to YouTube's upload requirements and they all have the same volume leveling if you check each one's level with the 'Stats for nerds' option.
For those that don't know or haven't cared before just right click on the video to select from the drop-down list.
The section most people are interested in is the 100 / 100 (Content loudness 0.0db) or the closest they can get to the 0.0db figure. The preceding 100 / 100 is the given position of your listening volume slider on YouTube.
The reason I've posted this is because a lot of people get caught up with the idea of LUFFS being the be all and end all of their goal on uploading to any hosting site.
If that reason is just to get the upload to not be overly compressed leaving your mix with the dynamic range you wanted the listener to experience then congratulations.
You will notice if you manage the marathon feat of running through the mixes you will see that the LUFFS idea of perceived loudness really doesn't work as tonality as well as volume and other factors come into the LUFFS equation when YouTube or any other site listens to your uploads.
I am interested in any opinions anyone here has on the subject and whether anyone is bothered and why.
One thing I have noticed of my own mixes while sorting all of this out is my inconsistencies in the tonality of my mixes.
