instead of putting [url=link ]
you need to put [url=the actual http ] here[/url ]
and that should do it.

Good article, and accurate from what I've seen.
When I bring tracks off of CD into my audio editor, they all look "normalised to hell". They're all so compressed that there are no dymamics left. I wasn't seeing this just 5-10 years ago!
It's a shame, too, because that dynamic range is a large part of what makes music sound "real" or "live". It's what I mostly hope gets remastered when I buy high-rez disc, especially with the lower noise floor available to the engineer.

I think the new Sting CD suffers the same problem. It's hands down the loudest disc in the changer, and it doesn't sound nearly as good as the previous 2, which I tend to use as reference discs (or did before I got Buena Vista Social Club). I'd forgotten about this article...

Very good article, and accurate as it relates to many of the pop recordings(fortunately classical material seldom or never has that problem). Of course, his comment about a 3dB increase being perceived as "twice as loud" isn't accurate, but essentially he's right on target.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
