Yes, that's all I'm referring to. I thought I made that abundantly clear. Relax. Nobody's disagreeing with you.
Sorry, Rami, I didn't think oyu were disagreeing with me... I should've put a smiley face on that reply... oh well...
But taking ur point a step further...
U r very correct about the decibal measurements, so why does the who recording sound so much louder when we all know it doesnt measure that way? Ive always learned less is more and it seems the modern appraoch, besides compress and limit the hell out of everything, is to fill up a song with as many dozens of tracks as you can, fill that mix up! sort of thing. But it seems the more tracks you add, the quieter the mix seems to get, even if it is only perceptual and not actual.
Is less REALLY more? Seems the answer is yes. If so, then we can really start to reevaluate the way that modern engineers, at least on the commercial high end of things, are going about mixing, huh?
P.S. Here's ur smiley face, Rami, to show I wasn't being defensive....
