The Nvidia Shield TV (small Android media player) has a built-in way to normalize audio in all apps running on it. It works great!
It does? Can you give me a hint?
It's part of the Nvidia firmware since version 9.1: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/software-update/
Right on. Something I've missed clearly.
It's called night listening mode. You can also place it in the quick menu for easier switching.
Great. I'll give it a whirl. Thanks a lot.
We used to call it "compression" and itwas an essential part of the recording process. It seems TV shows don't do that anymore.
It's still called that way: Dynamic range compression
I know, but do TV shows to it?
I understand that it dynamic range is necessary and having none is terrible (look up "loudness wars" in the recording industry), but it seems TV shows are no longer mastered for a actual home consumption.
Back in the day, we would work on our nice studio monitors, switch to a pair of NS10s to make sure it would sound good on a cheap Hifi, but we would also make it sound good on something garbage. Sometimes (always in fact) this was to the detriment of how sound on good gear, but 99% of people use garbage.
