Article in WSJ about compressed dynamic range


There was a front-page article in today's Wall Street Journal about the problem of compressed dynamic range with pop albums (done in order to make everything sound louder). Ted Jensen and Bob Ludwig are quoted. Pretty good read for a lay article.

Perhaps some studio rats might pipe in, but it's my understanding that the process used to make super loud recordings involves much more than simple compression. It's not just flicking a single switch and it cannot presently be duplicated at the consumer end.
