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.
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!
