Two-pass loudness normalization with FFmpeg loudnorm (the right way)
The article discusses the process of two-pass loudness normalization using FFmpeg's loudnorm filter. It emphasizes the importance of achieving consistent perceived loudness in audio files, particularly for video on demand (VOD). The author provides detailed steps for measuring and applying normalization to audio tracks, highlighting the advantages of a two-pass approach over a single-pass method.
- ▪Two-pass loudness normalization is essential for achieving consistent audio levels in video content.
- ▪The first pass measures the loudness, while the second applies a linear gain based on those measurements.
- ▪Using a single-pass method can lead to undesirable dynamic compression, making it unsuitable for pre-recorded files.

We'll parse the JSON, script it, batch it with ffmpeg-normalize, and verify with ebur128. Single-pass loudnorm pumps; don't use it for VOD.
