TL;DR

  • Wavelet has added a new feature called equal loudness that makes all frequencies equally loud.
  • This is helpful because, when you lower the volume of your music, low and high frequencies start to dip more than mid frequencies.
  • To celebrate the update, the developer has given us 100 promo codes to give away.

Note: The giveaway was 22hrs ago. i noticed the article now. So, the chance of getting any promo code are slim to none.

    This is helpful because, when you lower the volume of your music, low and high frequencies start to dip more than mid frequencies.

    You don’t need to know what’s in the ISO 226 document to understand the implications of its equal-loudness contours. What it proves is that when you’re listening to audio at low volume levels, frequencies in the midrange sound much louder than low or high frequencies.

    i’m guessing that this ignores the compression used and also how the sound is reproduced. If you listen to music through your phone, there are so many variables at place i can’t see how this would matter.

    most speakers, head/ear-phones people use don’t reproduce a decent sound anyway but they probably are more than enough for streaming or MP3

    is this some kind of a gimmick for those awful phone speakers?

      This post is an ad first and foremost. That’s why there’s a giveaway, which probably got used up in few minutes but people will keep clicking the link anyway hoping they didn’t miss it.

      Mission Accomplished!
