another example is 4 minutes to save the world from maddona and justin. when i hear it i cant understand the voices and the sounds :-(

You speak the truth.

Being a producer myself, I encounter a lot of this myself. However, I produce club music, so its a GOOD thing! Wall of sound and perceived loudness are great things in club oriented tracks!

You also didn't mention the use of limiters to induce clipping and digital distortion, which is another problem in todays music.

What software are you using? Wavelab?

Anyways, nice job. I link a lot of people to this video, because its easy enough for anyone to understand!

Keep it up!

Great work, man. Keep it up.

What usefull and jet disturbing knowledge!

thanks

you are totally correct!
I get the same with my guitar amp.
instead of maximizing it at low volume in order to obtain a sweet tune you have to keep it low on range and high on volume!

What an excellent film. A subject dear to my heart, the problem of CD clipping and the loudness wars caused me to write a declipping program that restores some of the lost signal - at least it stops the HF distortion and the tracks do sound much better:

it is a free program, and can also repair the CD digital clipping distortion (or fall out from the loudness war!) serving stuff to iTunes:

More discussion on the loudness war is also on my Hi-Fi page,, as CDs are no longer Hi-Fi:

Just stopping by to say hey. Have any new videos up?

Hopefully this weekend we should have a few new ones.

What are you up to this weekend?

in islam, women are considered half of one man legally. however maritally that goes down to one-fourth, unless you are muhammad, in which case it would be one-eleventh. however, if we are talking about heaven, it would take 72 women to equal one man. in conclusion, islam hates women and won't let them drive or vote or even think or it's off with their heads.

Thanks so much for this tidy and concise explanation! This has bugged me so much for years now and it only gets worse as time goes by! For example, I have been particularly horrified by modern "remastered" CDs of The Kinks, ABBA and Bob Marley which remove a large part of the feel and seem to add frank distortion to the sound. The old ABBA "Gold" and Bob Marley "Legend" CDs are much better. With my recording of this Jellyfish song, when it was first mastered for the album the series of snare beats before the guitar solo, which builds in volume, was compressed so much that each beat was exactly the same volume! You could hardly imagine a more dramatic way of demonstrating how mastering can remove expression that is deliberately placed there by the musician! Cheers - DC
