[QUOTE="alternativeroute, post: 55146, member: 1115"] Hi Ludo, Thanks for the great insights... What do you make of the 'loudness wars'? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war I bought the the U2 album 'no Line On The Horizon' (I know - not everybodies favourite band)... Anyway. I am sure if I still had an amp with VU meters the needle would be permanantly in the orange to red zone. Absolutly zero dynamic range on the whole album. 60 minutes of loud... Musically the drums are totally drowned out by the loud everthing else... Also. What do you make of "all wave recording"? read more here (the quoted bit): http://www.wired.com/listening_post/2008/04/steve-albini-st/ Is it a nastalgia trip or is there some merit to the methodology? Cheers JQ [/QUOTE]
