Fletcher, Munson, and You

Send us a text


Our perception of frequency balance varies with loudness, a fact
documented by Harvey Fletcher and Wilden A. Munson, two
scientists at Bell Laboratories. In 1933, they published a paper
called, “Loudness, its definition, measurement and calculation.”
It was groundbreaking science in the field of human hearing, and
has implications today for how we perceive music. This is
especially important when we are mixing.


In this episode, I explain the basics of the Fletcher-Munson
Curves and how we can use that knowledge to make better
recordings.
