Modern CDs are mixed too loudly - a demonstration


Check this video out. It demonstrates a typical late 80's mix with todays mix regarding volume level and truncated notes. Warning: This will be upsetting to audiophiles!

this is old news. most cd's never see playback on any contraption even remotely like a home stereo.
Sorry old news but still will be worthwhile to those who never have seen it.

INTERESTING. THIS VIDEO CLIP WAS ALSO POSTED ON BOB KATZ HOME WEBSITE. I READ THE LINK TO THE ARTICLE ABOUT RUSH. NOW I KNOW WHY I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THEIR MUSIC ANYMORE. IT EXPLAINS THAT POWER WINDOWS WAS THE LAST REALLY WELL MASTERED CD AND THAT THE REST BECAME PROGRESSIVELY TRASH RECORDINGS.
