The Loudness War debate...
http://www.moozek.com/2008/02/03/the...war-oh-please/
Was anyone here "offended" by this article about alternative views on the so-called loudness war? I want to bring this discussion to the DUC. |

Its the truth!
Well again, as an old HiFi enthusiast, I must say its a tragic how non dynamic material often is today. But hey, to reach out on the radio or TV with a wall of sound, thats what it´s all about for some. Most tragical is when Jazz albums are getting to compressed and limited.. Shame shame.. It´s like, if you have not used the compressor and the limiter, you have not done your job.. Shame shame...

I use compression and limiters EVERY time I master, but for the reasons they were originally intended. A good limiter can bring up the volume in lower passages making it more radio friendly and compressors can help push down that certain note in your guitar solo or even-out your kick drum and vocals. Using these Dynamic Processors sparingly will improve your overall mix. But in my case the moment my material starts sounding squished or lacks air, I back off!

Been an ongoing talk for sometime now.

Re: The Loudness War debate...
Lets not overlook the style of most mainstream rock music today. walls of guitars, no dynamics in the composition in the first place...there's not alot of Pink FLoyds around writing beautiful pieces like "Dark Side...."

Wouldn't it be funny if, 10 years from now, Fall Out Boy and Panick At THe Disco release "Dynamically Restored" versions of their albums? :)
