Inspired by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-woJ9FtDM7o , I "made" multi-band expander using JACK, jack-rack, and some LADSPA plugins. System is Debian sid with GNOME 2. Music player is mpd + ncmpcpp for control. Used JACK Meterbridge for metering and Ardour for recording.
Soundtrack is the expanded version of "Even Flow" but I'm going to make some video comparison with the original (NOT 2009 remaster!). For now compare it with something from YouTube etc.
Sorry about audio quality - the whole jack-racks setup doesn't have flat frequency response, but I hope you like more dynamic range. Unfortunately there is some clipping but I don't think it's audible.
Sorry about low FPS, I have 1-core CPU that won't encode captured video fast enough to have more. Writing uncompressed video is not an option (disk throughput!). This video hasn't been edited. I connected and synced it with audio using only ffmpeg.
More about unnecessary dynamic range compression: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war http://www.justiceforaudio.org/forum/ http://dr.loudness-war.info/
Browsing into last link: Soundgarden play similar kind of music to Pearl Jam, but have *better* dynamic range. So if Pearl Jam's mastering engineer didn't use compressor, it wouldn't loose dynamic range. Compare http://dr.loudness-war.info/details.php?id=1212 and http://dr.loudness-war.info/details.php?id=66 (from the same year).
Nevertheless, Ten's DR10 is much better than some modern records... including Ten 2009 remaster.
