Ah ah, it's because I'm totally against the loudness war which today is totally damn stupid. The new rules for mastering is -13 LUFS and it will be -15 LUFS at the end of this year. Since 90% of people listen to music on streaming platforms, it really does not make any sense to over compress and make music loud. Every song which is louder than -13 LUFS will be compressed to match the right level, so it will be even more compressed.
We have to learn to listen at normal volumes now. If my mix is not loud enough, well just turn up the volume knob
On a CD, every burner has an option to make the volume identical between the songs, and the reference is not the loudest, but the quietest
