I don't think that it has to do with the loudness war. How well do you
chose Linux EQs? Most of them are completely unusable. IMO
Fons' parametric EQ is ok.
If I record an ALESIS D4 cymbal with Linux, the result is week. If I
record it with a consumer DAT recorder, there's no audible difference
to the original sound. Even a 4-track cassette player with Dolby C
still sounds better, than the Linux recording (tested with TerraTec and
RME cards).
Assumed it should be missing dithering, then what dithering to use?
Linux dithering is a PITA, it adds annoying audible noise, no stand
alone consumer gear, no proprietary DAW and especially no professional
gear comes with such audible dithering noise.
Is there usable dithering available for Linux?
