New School versus Old School CD's...
A very interesting story found online at Yahoo Tech and a little video to elaborate found here.
I plan to keep this in mind when I record in my studio, and let artists know for themselves before mix-down so I know what approach they prefer. I guess it's art versus volume, or maybe just a style issue. It does seem to be true that volume & distortion cover a multitude of sins....

Thats pretty interesting stuff. I always like the clarity of the drums and not missing other stuff. The only thing I don't like is when you put a file like that on an MP3 player, you have to turn it up, and then when it's the other style it kills your ears. So when you have a group of music that is recorded differently, varying volumes suck the big one.
I think that it all depends on the style of music that is being played.
Yeah, I agree exactly with you guys-it's more of a style issue I think. Listeners come to expect a specific "sound," which comes from those who make the music & those who produce/record it, and if you stray too far from it you'll alienate those who would buy your stuff. Nice points my homies!
maybe the reason the last cd you bought doesn't sound as good . . . is because it isn't as good.
the reason the industry is suffering is artistic quality, not clarity of their computer generated snare drum hits.
