There's a reason why your favorite songs don't sound quite right on YouTube, but you don't have to settle for that!
Many of us love living our lives with a soundtrack, and can't imagine going through the daily hustle and bustle without some rhythm to it.
It might be one of the world's most visited websites, but its focus is video, and when it comes to audio – it ain't great. Indeed, there's something you should know…Like any website, when you upload video and audio to YouTube, it all gets compressed. Don't worry – we won't be getting technical, but the reason sites like YouTube do this is to make those video and audio files smaller at the loss of few noticeable details.
The reason artists were, and still are aiming for louder music is simple – for many listeners that extra sparkle and punch makes them feel like a song just"sounds better" and so, they're more likely to love it, buy it, stream it, and so on. So if you're a diehard music fan, even if you never noticed it – your favorite songs don't sound as lively and sparkly on YouTube as they would on, say, Spotify or SoundCloud.
Now hear the exact same song, same 2009 remastered version, but on Spotify, and notice how it's not only louder but clearer and more"sparkly" there:
