this means that recording engineers - i should say recording companies - don't give a damn about artists themselves, but focus on every possible way to make 1 more sale.
no wonder some artists start their own production.

i still have some cd's from 1984; very good dynamic range.
i used to watch music on an oscilloscope, and i have never seen an old cd with clipped waves. from what i can see of today's recordings, things got worse.
I'm tempted sometimes to buy another oscilloscope...

thanks for your answers. :-)
