Why do you sometimes not hear transients? Let's say you're looking at a snare track in Soundforge. Sometimes the peak intensity just does match up with the actual loudness of the hit. I can see a really sharp peak for a snare hit that sounds rather weak or quiet, then see a snare hit that rings loud and clear that appears graphically to be 3 to even 6db quieter in volume.
Of course, I usually end up limiting/compressing the peaks that bring down overall volume, by why do they exist in the first place? Is there perhaps a really sharp frequency that's hot that I just don't hear well in whatever I'm listening through?
