Besides his mastering work — with credits like Cassandra Wilson and Sinéad O'Connor — he's written several books on the subject matter, invented the K-Stereo system to address details in a mix, and has developed a scale for equal monitoring volume. Bob took the time to explain his concepts, predict the end of the loudness craze, and promote a petition for streaming services to implement normalization by default.
