Right, Cory. Compress is waaayyy overused.<br><br>Though I could justify just a little compression... :-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 2:37 PM, Cory K. <<a href="mailto:coryisatm@nc.rr.com">coryisatm@nc.rr.com</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">Dave Ricketzz wrote:<br> > Compressors can be quite musical;  they make a performance easier to<br> hear in many cases.  Without a compressor/limiter your RMS is quite low<br> vs peaks and your SNR suffers.  Part of the mastering process is to<br> judiciously apply electronic magic here and there.  Are you saying this<br> person didn't equalize?<br> <br> </div>"judiciously" isn't whats happening in the industry unfortunately. The<br> whole "brickwall" mastering thing has made me sick of modern pop music<br> and leery of re-masters of old albums.
