This was very, very interesting indeed!

I love tracks done like the original he was referring to and the comment that "when there's no quiet, there can be no loud"

Educational to say the least.

Thanks for that post loupey

And thanks for your post Harley. I ignored the other vids as I was drained of enthusiasm for expanding my aural horizons. That one should get reposted in the education section under "What is system headroom? / what you miss with too much compression".

Indeed, +1. I was thinking the exact same thing.

This will describe it more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war or Google "loudness war" and get a ton of hits

EDIT: Would it be possible to make that a sticky topic, unlocked, in that forum?

A pity.
