Re: [LAU] Questions from an audiophile to some engineers

Ah! Ok, thank you Paul. Now i get the idea. I'm just irritated by the
application of it to the entire recording, which seems to be the way some
?studios? are going. I'm not sure at what level of control it's done at.

I concur that most people don't listen to music the way that i do, nor on
the kinds of equipment that i do.

Is it really about selling more music? I'm still not convinced that it
sounds better on average consumer level electronics though. If the
complaint is about some passages being too quiet because there is too much
dynamic range, well that's not the kind of music it's done on anyway is
it? If the idea is to make the whole thing subjectivly louder why not
just leave it to the listener to turn up the volume? Some of the things i
have that are compressed aren't even played on the radio. I can only
really speak to that in the States though so i'd admit i was wrong quickly
on that one.
