Normalizing audio waveforms?

[XLR]

Jeez I duuno Glen. Not much wiggle room for debate with you around here. It's either your way or the highway



NEVER......NEVER did I suggest that there were any sonic advantages in over compressing audio..that said for ANY reason. NEVER. Every time I've posted something here you've twisted to serve yourself.

What I did take issue with is your blanket assessment that "The Industry" compresses audio because they're boneheads. As I said earlier that's an oversimplification of a complex competitive industry and is simply not true. I live and work here and have enough friends in those positions to take offense.

Further I can't help but take the statement as a personal shot.

I am indeed a lot of things but ignorant is not one of them.




Again the implication is that you are amongst the "True Professionals" and because of my position of ignorance I am not. Position yourself anyway and anywhere you want I don't really care. Please don't attempt to position me because of my opinion. It's simply out of line.

My opinion about a subject is not an attempt to give you crap. It is merely...my opinion. I'm entitled despite what you may think.


I live and work here in Hollywood and have some very close friends to which you spit venom towards. They are neither boneheads nor ignorant or arrogant and negotiate the waters of this very complicated business brilliantly. All the while fully understanding the ramifications of their actions.

Good post.

On this one subjest, yes. The Volume Wars have set the industry back 20 years.

Mr. Hanna, you're reading twists that are not there. At no time did I intend to connect your own personal belief on the subject with those of the boneheads.

As I said earlier that's an oversimplification of a complex competitive industry and is simply not true. I live and work here and have enough friends in those positions to take offense.

So much so that you're seeing attacks that are not there; you've become a bit over-sensitized. Once again, I am referring to that minority within "the industry" that think the Wars are a good idea as boneheads, and not stereotyping the entire industry. I even said that the vast majority of professionals within "the industry" think the War is a bad idea. How is that attacking "the industry"?.

Further I can't help but take the statement as a personal shot.

if you agree that over-compression is not a good thing, than how can you take it as a personal shot? I'm sorry if that is how you heard it, but that is completly the opposite of here I was pointing it.

I am indeed a lot of things but ignorant is not one of them.

Nor did I ever mean to intimate otherwise.

Again the implication is that you are amongst the "True Professionals" and because of my position of ignorance I am not.

Whoah, there, bucko. Nowhere did I associate myself with what I called the "true professionals" in the industry, other than that I agreed with their position. Nor did I say anything anywhere that I thought you were working from a position of ignorance. Relax, Take a deep breath, have a cigar .

I in fact had no idea of your position on the Wars until now, nor did I make any assumptions or intimations one way or the other. I was simply responding to you position that it was impossible for anybody who has reached any kind of standing whatsoever within the industry to be a bonehead, when in fact the very definition of boneheadedness is to believe in the Volume Wars.

Like it or not, there are human beings in every industry from trash collector to brain surgeon, and every industry has it's share of boneheaded people and issues. It's not a knock against "the "industry"; it's just a realistic assment of human nature that "the industry" is no different than any other industry in that regard.

My opinion about a subject is not an attempt to give you crap. It is merely...my opinion. I'm entitled despite what you may think.

Likewise.

I live and work here in Hollywood and have some very close friends to which you spit venom towards. They are neither boneheads nor ignorant or arrogant and negotiate the waters of this very complicated business brilliantly. All the while fully understanding the ramifications of their actions.

If they are forced to participate in the Volume Wars because they have to to negotiate the political waters whose level has been set by other boneheads, I understand and sympathise with them. If they truely and sincerely believe that the Volume Wars are actually good for "the industry", I'm sorry, but they are boneheads.
