i agree : most of the techno are way too much loud bass ... which is totally useless in a club which has a decent sound system.... i have invested in good monitors at my place and i dont even need to use "loudness" or eq the sound to hear proper bass, so probably i am mong these dudes who really thnik that the meds / high are really much more important.

as an example i almost never comrpess my BD but compress the meds and high a lot.... my easiest way to see if a track is well eqed is to look to the spectrum in winamp : to sound good all teh frequancies have to reach the 0dB, but only for a few time ... if the vu meter is stuck in the 0dB for too long its loud, if it doesn reach then its not enough loud ... simple as hell but works so well

btw even if the music is crap i was amazed by madonna latest album 's production.
