Why the new "LOUDNESS CRAZE" in digital mastering really robs music of life

ShaneC said:
exactly. Provided its the musicians choice and they feel its the best way to express said album.

I remember the first time I heard TDS (1996, original stereo recording) - cranked up off a boom box, I was in another room. Somewhere during the last 1/3rd of "Mr Self Destruct", I thought the house was falling apart. Never again did I get that same feeling until I had the "remastered 5.1 release".

When the goal is to achieve those feelings, its a beautiful thing.

When trying to recreate an atmosphere inaccurately, it's highly ineffective.

All IMHO.

Turn that Music Down! :lmao:
 
To my ears, the new Bruce Springsteen is horribly mastered. Of coarse that is just the lossless files I d/l to check it out. I will have to actually borrow a friend's cd to compare. If the cd sounds like the lossless files, then there is no way I would buy it.
Does anybody have the vinyl to the new Boss album? and how does it compare to the cd?
