    YouTube Music is got a little bit of an issue with audio normalization. Not the worse I’ve ever seen, but it does degrade the quality a little bit.

    Hope YouTube’s version is slightly better. Specially given how channels like LTT like to literally speak by screaming into the microphone, while some of my favorite essay channels barely whisper.

      YouTube already normalizes down videos that are too loud, so the only problem is creators that make their videos too quiet because YouTube doesn’t boost quiet videos. You can see the details in the stats, it’ll show what the average volume was and what the correction was. I was thinking of making a program that automatically uses the average loudness to boost the volume using the stats provided by YouTube but I never got around to it.
