Thanks very much for this Ian. I did not know about the YT change. Stable Volume was enabled when I first played your video. I COULD STILL hear the dynamic range in your example video, but when I disabled it, the range was greater. I can see and appreciate why YT introduced this feature. It's a good idea, but yes, you are right, a more obvious disable feature or default-off is needed.
This is a serious problem for any UA-camrs who serve our audio profession. I played this video and used my spl meter and, even though it is obvious to a blind man, there was roughly a 6db difference between the first and second examples. This is a huge difference and could effectively negate any benefits from audio videos. Thanks for this information.
Stable volume was set to auto for this video on my TV but there was still a large difference with your example. Turning it off certainly made a difference but the dynamics was still similar. Thanks for the video would never have even seen it.
I suppose the compression is relatively simple because it is probably applied client-side. I hope YT will add controls for creators to disable this by default on their channel and allow for changing the default on a per-video basis. I have some taking head videos that I don't mind to be treated this way, but I generally do control the volume rather well on my own, and in videos where I teach sound design etc or test limiters... having this forced on for everyone watching is... suboptimal at best.
Wow! Thanks for finding this. What a difference! (It was "on" when I started watching your video. Kali UNF-LP monitors on my crappy work laptop via BT). Unless this can be set in the video at publishing, it looks like we're back to "master for the media" or adding pads and other noise to the production to mask dynamics changes, and we're back to the loudness wars.
@@SilentKnightProductions I don’t think it’s that bad - remember this isn’t meant to be applied to music. I’m also hopeful they will allow us to get some control, hopefully sooner than later 🤞
I had stable volume turned on and I could hear the difference in the video, it's similar to how radio and TV broadcast sounds with limiting. thanks for bringing awareness to this setting.
Yep, I'm on desktop (and HD which I'm told improves sound quality) and stable volume was indeed on ... switched off now. Thank you, Ian! Just watched The Crow Hill company video explaining dynamic range in orchestration and orchestral plug-ins, and of course this stable volume was switched on while he was demonstrating it.
@@SR1B Right. I’ve known about it for a while and have been hoping they would turn it off by default or allow us to reject it for our channels, but no luck 😕 Honestly when I first found out about it I was really relieved it didn’t apply to most music and disabled it - it never occurred to me that it would be affecting people watching my videos 🤦♂️
Hey Ian, I’m not sure how the DRC works on desktop, but I can confirm that the loudness differences you pointed out in the 2:10-2:40 section are still present, even with "stable volume" enabled. However, in the second section (3:12-3:44), they’ve clearly been compensated through some kind of DRC. Whether I enable or disable "stable volume" on my end, the loudness differences remain where they’re supposed to, but they’re smoothed out in the second section. This suggests that whatever DRC UA-cam is applying seems to happen on your end rather than on the listener’s end. This doesn’t make much sense to me, as it effectively renders the "stable volume" feature useless for the listener, but it’s what I’m observing here (Windows PC - UA-cam in Google Chrome).
Sorry to bud in here. I am sure someone will have an elaborate explanation... but... If the audio is printed with the drc issues in, then the compressor won't activate again as the volume has already been adjusted.
@@Gw49172 I suspect there are two audio streams, one with & one without (see the way the video image switches off and on when you change the setting) In terms of this video the effect is likely to be more complicated though, since I’m incorporating audio with Stable Volume On into a new video with different material around it, and different overall loudness. So enabling it on *this* video will probably sound different again
im toggling it right now and it totally changes the dynamics of his voice (which is higher in dynamic range), it is quite clear and not subtle. I have found on some videos stable volume doesn't do much or doesnt seem to be working, but when it is working it isn't subtle especially on production videos.
@@JimijaymesProductions That’s really puzzling... Could you share your configuration (device, browser)? I just recorded the first 90 seconds of audio from this video, first with smart volume enabled and then with it disabled. I can confirm that there’s no change in dynamics whatsoever on my end. The only difference is in the overall loudness. Here are the measurements I got for this 90-second section: Smart volume enabled: -19.4 LUFS integrated / 3.9 LRA / -2 TPmax Smart volume disabled: -21.6 LUFS integrated / 3.9 LRA / -4.4 TPmax I’m really curious to understand why the system behaves differently on your end compared to mine. Any thoughts on that, Ian?
@ I am just using Opera GX, I haven't done measurements and I am not sure about macro dynamics but definitely micro dynamics, Ive heard it mostly on videos where there is talking and music based audio, sounds like a multiband limiter has been strapped on the end. Give me a sec to do some measurements/recording and ill let you know, but to my ears its not subtle, the noisefloor comes up and the tail of consonants (especially in the low end) is louder but the transients aren't and when there is two audio sources, the quieter one gets louder.
Thanks for informing us ! Another popular sound engineer on UA-cam that I follow also talked about this. Obviously I disabled it but without videos like yours and the other one, I would have never seen this option !
@@XtremeKremaTor That’s a common complaint, but in my testing the ads are also normalised to -14. UA-cam doesn’t turn quieter material up though (without Stable Volume) so I think this happens when people crank up a quiet video (eg. anything at broadcast level, which is -23) and then the ads sound super-loud in comparison even though they’re “only” @ -14
@@ProductionAdvice Most videos on youtube, except for music videos, are way below -14. Even if the producer knows what their doing, a podcast or video with just speech won't necessarily sound the best at -14. I often end up 3 dB quieter when I just compress speech content by ear. But a lot of video producers don't know much about audio and their content will be at -20. A professionally produced commercial at -14 will then sound super loud.
@ Fair comment - my podcast is also around -18. It’s a shame YT doesn’t use -16 for its Distribution Loudness as recommended by the AES - that would be a step in the right direction at least
Thanks Ian - I had no idea about this one. You are correct in that it makes a BIG DIFFERENCE on this end when selected. Super helpful info, as per usual from your content.
I thought that this would just toggle the "loudness penalty" normalization to -14 LUFS, so I left it turned on, as normalizing is a good thing. Never thought that this is actually compression, thank you very much for sharing, I disabled it now!
Thanks Ian. Completely missed that. That means that the best way would be for all content creators to have a little intro „Please Disable Equal Loudness Feature“- followed by a short 10sec instructions video
@@saardean4481 I’ve thought about it ! But there’s no way to go back and add this to old videos, plus if UA-cam do as I’m asking and allow us to opt out those intros will be redundant… tedious !
UA-cam should stop doing stuff in the background that most people don't want. For example they also auto-translate English video titles to the language set in your browser. Not sure which videos they target, this video still has its original English title.
Its funny, for years people complained about YoutTube audio compression which never actually existed until now, they've made the complaints real. At least it's able to be turned off.
This also demonstrates well how the last pop song is so utterly crushed and devoid of dynamics regardless of the settings. I hope that we don't need to disable this manually for every video. You would think that they would have at least given us global control over such a sweeping setting.
Agreed! And thanks for pointing this out. But on the other hand, I have to say honestly, that some videos really benefit from this setting. They are so poorly balanced, that the comprssion ought to be even stronger! Good to know, that I can now - at least temporarely - dis/enabling this setting. Unconvenient, but better like this, rather than getting an audio sauce.
Ta, what we don't need is yet more compression in audio. Didn't know this was a thing in addition to whatever UA-cam has been doing to audio for yonks.
The irony is they haven't been doing much that affected the quality (bar the streaming codec) until recently. This is quite a big deal for some content, though.
A data point for you: on this video, I checked - and Stable Volume was off already. Do you think it remembers my choice from other videos? Seems unlikely... However, also, I loaded a different video (from a science channel) and it was not only OFF but also disabled so I couldn't turn it on. There's more to this than meets the eye...
@@macronencer Thanks - in my testing when I turn it off it stays off for all videos, so I assume the setting is cookied per-browser, not per-video. And yes, Stable Volume is sometimes greyed out, but I’m not sure how the decision is made - music videos are the most obvious example, but the detection isn’t perfect - I’ve seen at least one music video, tagged as music, already mastered to -14, which still had SV as an option. So there’s a grey area in all this of “intent versus execution”
@@ProductionAdvice Thanks Ian - yes, I guess it must be remembering my choices. Interesting about the greying out thing, because the science video I tested it on was mostly talking, but there's a long outro with music... maybe it picked up on that?
Ya, I soon as I saw Stable Volume I immediately shut it off haha! In our world it does not help. Love your videos Ian but if I'm being honest I can't watch them often. I have Misophonia and mouth clicks drive me INSANE! Please treat them when editing your videos if you wouldn't mind. I'd be a loyal subriber and watch every video if you did! I have mouth clicks when I record myself too so no shade or anything. Not criticizing! You can't help it but you can treat it. I'd love if you did!

Hmm… another important thing to keep in mind. If you’re not watching the video through their app on the phone (iphone at least), you can’t turn off the DRC feature. So if you’re on FB for example, and you just click the video without opening the YT app, the feature stays on. There’s no gear icon for settings displayed.
Haha. I got all the way through your examples then noticed it has appeared on my settings. I could still hear the difference. Switched it off. Much more difference. For me it must have been added very recently as I would have noticed it (desktop btw). Could be useful for listening to some of those lazy youtubers' who are not so good at balancing their audios from different sources. More edit - I'm confused now after a bit of a look around. Not all vids on a channel have it? Some of mine do and some of them don't for example.
thanks I've turned it off as I do watch a fair few videos on compressors etc. Even on "normal" videos, like news or TV clips it's making a big difference. With it on it seems alot louder and maybe shriller. It really should be an option when you create a video, but I can see my own music videos it's turned off even when it is on for other videos. Maybe that's because all my videos I allocated to the music category.
I suggest that perhaps you should add a short 10 seconds or so instruction at the beginning of each of your videos reminding or explaining the need to do it before the video continues.
@@DonBernhard Maybe, but there’s no way to go back and add this to old videos, plus if UA-cam do as I’m asking and allow us to opt out those intros will be redundant… tedious !
I only found out about this an hour before finding your video Good idea for “soft” videos: people who don’t understand what LUFS are but a very bad idea for the rest of us. I always master to -13 or -12.5 with -1 true peak and don’t mind being turned down 1/2 dB and sometimes not a t all.
