[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 5749294, member: 562649"] Interesting you say. I use that a lot too. So much that it begged some looking into. Here's "Save The Last Dance For Me" which really showcases the dynamics of the band together... [URL]https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x28z80[/URL] Sounds good? Clean? Nope, it's not.... SoundForge scan that looks for clipping at 0 dB (the wall)... [IMG]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/barnz008/SoundForge%20scans/Savethelastdanceformescan.jpg[/IMG] Sinner. Now, SF scan with the clip indicator at a lower tolerance. Instead of 0 dB, were at -.5 dB (basically audibly indistinguishable from 0 dB "the wall").... [IMG]http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/barnz008/SoundForge%20scans/Savethelastdanceformescan2.jpg[/IMG] Dirty dirty wore! It crosses over the new "wall" thousands of times. That's thousands of points of music lost.....meaning you cannot hear it, it's "washed out" due to poor recording management. I wonder what the track would sound like if it wasn't so loud? I love it dirty, though don't get me wrong...I just think it's very interesting how the human ear is so HORRIBLE at detecting this so called "sound quality." And it lends further credence to the fact that most people, when they state "sound quality is subjective" don't know what the hell they are talking about. What they really should say, IMHO, is "MY preference for sound" is subjective, which is just silly to say because of course [I]your preference is subjective[/I]. [/QUOTE]
