Loudness War/Compression.

Hi Guys,
I don't like depressing anyone so only look at this if you are of fairly robust constitution: -

Hmmm, interesting :scratch: However just because the dynamic range might be lower on certain albums doesn't mean they have been compressed.

Pity they are all in a totally random order as well, I can't see myself going through over 18,000 albums just to find some info on one, when it should be alphabetical :rolleyes:

Mark,
Click on the column headings and it will sort them in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order - makes it a bit easier to navigate.

If you click on artist or album at the top of box they will be in alphabetical order..

For buyers of more mainstream music, it may help in identifying the better pressing.

Just use the search function Mark. Simples.

Course, being audiophiles we wouldn’t need anyone to measure the dynamic range of recordings would we? :scratch::D
With all “transparent” systems we have I have absolutely no doubt that not only can we tell what tracks have had compression used on them but what compression tool was used and what the percentage compression is. :eyebrows:
What I’m not so certain about is whether the list refers to dynamic limiting or compression.

Yep, agreed with both & I certainly sometimes appear to be :o

Lol at the worst being a (kind of) drum and bass producer.
