Abstract
An audio processing system may be configured to play a sound source through speakers of the audio processing system. The system may determine a loudness of the sound source as heard by a user of the electronic device. The system may determine a playback loudness for the sound source that matches the loudness of the sound source as heard by the user. The system may author an audio work which includes the sound source. In a playback environment, the sound source is output by speakers of a headworn device at the playback loudness.
