Amongst the conclusions, there was interesting data suggesting people are more likely to enjoy songs that sound louder relative to another track. The loudness war started off when some research was done about the way people enjoy music. Despite the almost comical amount of controversy on the topic, I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction of getting a loud(er) mix.
