There has been a lot of talk about dynamic compression for far too many years. Dozens of sites, articles and forum discussions have covered the subject time and again. Several studies have found no evidence that compressed music sells better, yet producers still persist in pumping up their recordings. The majority of music listeners, when given the choice, prefer the sound of dynamic music, yet producers still persist in pumping up their recordings. Tracks played on radio, air or internet, are normalized to the same level for broadcast, yet producers still persist in pumping up their recordings. Why does it continue? I can’t explain why the producers, who still persist in spite of the facts, are such spineless monkeys. I can explain with a vivid illustrated analogy, what it is, what it means, and why it slips under the radar. Go to the whole story on [Audio Compression : The Silent Distortion]

Visiting [art]by[odo] may have you thinking it's unfocussed. What is it about? Art? Audio? Photography? Music? Politics? Ego? Boredom? Is it a blog? Is it an online gallery?Yes.
What it's not is a one trick pony, or a Sing Johnny One Note, or a stuck record. It's about more than a single interest, idea or concept. On the surface it may seem scattered, but with time some obvious and some not so obvious connections are discoverable. Look closer and the parallels will pop.
