ZG veteran Registered: 11/01/06 Posts: 135 Loc: Canadian in NYC	Originally Posted By: zhimbo 4. Dixie Chicks, "Lubock or Leave It". Dynamic compression Hell. When you zoom in on the peaks there is clipping out the wazoo, right there in the source material where there's nothing you can do about it. Welcome to the last phase of the loudness wars. I've posted a lot of great articles on the subject. This has been happening for decades in some form or another. But the recent trend is blaming MP3s for the noisy compression. Not true! Anyway, here's some reading for you all: http://www.turnmeup.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17777619/the_death_of_high_fidelity http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/jan/18/pop.music Zoë _________________________ The more you love music, the more you love music.

St_PatGuy axiomite Registered: 03/07/05 Posts: 7286 Loc: Glendale, Arizona	There is obviously a limit on those graphs were things start clipping. What sets that limit? Is it the dynamic range of the CD, or the original recording gear? _________________________ *********** "Nothin' up my sleeve. . ." --Bullwinkle J. Moose
