My clientele is still taking very seriously my advise against loudness. But there are users from the web who still don't get it and demand it in their samples.
But in general, it would be nice to stop trying hard to get mixes to sound so loud and without significant dynamics. There is no more of that noisy cassette format around {I don't think} to worry about anymore and vinyl records can benefit with higher dynamics. The one thing I will continue to do is to push for -13 to -12 dBRMS and setting a ceiling at -0.1dBFS. I still favor this much RMS for CDs {on certain music styles of course}.

Best regards,
