An Example of Good Level Control

Relax in southern comfort on the east bank of the Mississippi. You're just around the corner from Beale Street and Sun Records. Watch the ducks, throw back a few and tell us what's on your mind.

An Example of Good Level Control

Post by mediatechnology »

I'm always complaining about over-processed, ultra-smashed, hyper-clipped, sound files.

An example of someone getting it right is the 2008 Death Cab for Cutie's Song "Cath..." ( http://www.amazon.com/Cath-Album-Versio ... sic&sr=1-1 )

I guess there may be hope for post -millennial music after all...

I'll gladly accept 230 samples being clipped out of a few million.

I just have a problem when it's every sample after a polarity reversal. :roll:

I guess it's inevitable at some point for delivering dynamics to become a way to differentiate from the mainstream.

What I found so "odd" about this file was how normal it looked.

Being normal stands out these days I suppose. :lol:
