    Abd techno suffers from this the most.
    I really really wish people would learn about dynamics.

    You can keep shouting at someone, and they will just switch off to the noise.
    But if you sneak up to them in the night and whisper in their ear, you`ll have a far stronger effect.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    Thats very true steve.

    I was discussing that very thing with another music tech lecturer the other day.

    There's nothing wrong with limiting to increase loudness per-se but when you import tracks and see that they have had the nuts limited out of them to the point that the waveform is a square block it doesnt seem right to me.

    Mind you its not only techno thats guilty of this, ive seen some system of a down waveforms that displayed the same dynamic behaviour.

    There's no education of the ear with that sort of thing.

    Perhaps thats where minimal comes in...?
