Thanks for the info!

Very well put together, thanks. It's sad how music has been degraded so much in the last several decades. By the way, what piece of software are you using to analyze/draw the dynamic range?
-
Look at Massive Attack's most popular songs on iTunes, the quieter versions outsell the louder versions. I think it's more down to record industry paranoia than it ever being likely to sell more records, you see radio compresses everything to the same volume anyway.

Anyone heard the new Van Halen? It's one of the worst I've ever heard in terms of loudness
-
@RobertC19850209 agree

Hi, I'm new to making music. I use software synthesizers to make electronic music, but the video talked only about music made by bands using physical instruments that always use a dynamic range. Do the problems that arise in the loudness war affect electronic music as much as other genres, even though you would have to program a synthesizer to make it use a dynamic range? Sorry if i didn't use the term "dynamic range" correctly.
-
have you maybe thought about that the songs are ment to hit HARD in a system.
example club music. heavily compressed BOOM BOOMING!
-
you see, this is why i listen to vinyl over cd's. most vinyl pressings don't use so much compression
-
This phenomenon pisses me off more than anything else in the entire world. Something has to be done. It basically destroys the music.
-
We need a DAW from an analog company,because they know how music should be made.

I agree that great sound can be achieved with minimal equipment.
Sometimes I listen to recordings that use only one mic and I think it
gives the music a rich, "live" feel. But the point I was trying to
make with this video isn't that you have to have expensive equipment
to have a good sound but that modern CD's have pushed the volume
beyond the point of good taste. No matter what type of equipment you
use, over compression reduces dynamic range and is not what music
actually sounds like live.
