Brickwalling is such a shame, thats why there are motherfucking volume controls!
-
@zealberg Listen to Derek Roddy and George Kolias. They hit damn hard.
-
@FoxGhost7 metal is just pop music disguised as an alternative musical genre. it isn't. it's all major record label produced bullshit.

death metal drummers are playing faster and faster =
death metal drummers are hitting lighter and lighter =
death metal drummers need mega compression to make them sound like they have balls.
John Bonham RIP
Cozy Powell RIP
Dont forget what True Heavy is
It comes from the street.

Still the GH3 is still far superiour because the master used wasnt brickwalled so all the original dynamics are present

@MrDemilord Not true. Sure, the vinyls of super-compressed albums don't have as much depth as they could, but I've seen wave forms of Death Magnetic on vinyl, and while not as good as the GH3 mix, it is better.
Besides, I found out how to restore compressed audio. Despite popular belief, all the needed data is still there, it is just compressed. By pinpointing certain frequencies and remixing them using different tracks, you get dynamic range back. It really works.

Fleshgod Apocalypse's debut is really interesting and promising, but fuck me if you can tell what's going on half of the time. So much static and compression. Everything is a mass of sound.

@JoeyDrunko Digital mastering means what's on the CD is what's on the vinyls. It's rare for producers to give enough of a shit to make two different masters nowadays. Listen to Death Magnetic, Black Gives Way to Blue, Audioslave... same thing.

Hahaha, I admit, I never thought Deathmetal of all things was affected by that. Good to know :-D
Really well done. Thanks for taking the time to do this and fighting the good fight.
