Article: "Over the Limit"
http://www.prorec.com/prorec/article...256C2E005DAF1C
"Over the past few years, record labels have increasingly attempted to dictate to the artist and producer the target volume level of the CD. For some reason, record labels have it in their head that “LOUD” equals good, and therefore, “LOUDER” equals better. Not caring to understand even the basics of audio, these morons simply demand more volume (typically from the mastering engineer) and really don’t understand – or care – about the consequences of their demands."

An excellent article, and a good thorough analysis!
Most of the mainstream music comes so heavily compressed that it is clearly optimized for high-noise environments like cars and bars, not for quiet listening spaces. Luckily there is plenty of good ambient that does not try aggressively to fill the listening space and therefore can utilize the entire dynamic range of the CD. - tg |
