without wanting to sound narky, if the track was extremely well produced, it would need minimal eq at the mastering stage.. if something is well produced, it should sound good on any system and any format i.e on a club system or shitty transistor radio, on CD or Vinyl...Originally Posted by MorePunkThanFunk
the fact that it has been attempted to be cut louder and it hasn't worked just proved the point of "make it louder, louder always sounds better" is flawed and is coming from people who have no experience of cutting records..
which leads me to another point which is covered in the following links, the "Loudness war" problem.. Because people's ears are becoming so used to hearing over-compressed music (especially in modern pop music), it comes to be expected that everything is that loud, and that louder is always better.. check these links on what a few others had to say on the subject:
