----------------------
No. 10: Compression is part of the sound of contemporary music. Completely
uncompressed music would sound lifeless and boring to most listeners. They
crave more energy than unprocessed sound offers.
No. 9: Louder music, even if it's just slightly louder, almost always sounds
better than quieter music.
No. 8: Most music is listened to in the background to accompany some other
activity like working, reading exercising, driving, or cooking. When you're
doing something else, uncompressed music's constantly shifting volume level
would be an annoyance.
No. 7: When listening in shuffle mode, there's a good chance you'll skip
over the quieter songs to get to the next tune. Record producers live in
fear of a mix that's too quiet.
No. 6: In the days before CD mastering, engineers needed to boost the
quietest sounds to keep them above the LP's noise floor, and reduce the
loudest sounds volume level to keep the "needle" in the groove. Digital didn
't have those problems, but we still wound up with CDs that have less soft-
to-loud dynamic range than LPs.
No. 5: Engineers like using different types of compression to create new
sounds to catch the ear. There's nothing wrong with that.
No. 4: People so rarely listen to music in quiet surroundings, they need
compression to keep music loud enough to be heard over the noise.
No. 3: If people really didn't like compression, they would stop buying/
listening to compressed music (see No. 1).
No. 2: People mistake compression for dynamics; when all the sounds are loud
and "punchy," it's called "dynamic." Naturally dynamic music lacks the kick
of a compressed mix.
No. 1: Audiophiles like to complain about compressed music, but they
actually prefer it.

I couldn't agree more. There is a dynamic range compression plugin for
foobar. Try it, and you will find out, dynamic range compressed music
sounds more 'dynamic', more 'lively', more 'punchy', reminds me of LP. |
