Is Louder Better?

Posted by michael on from the mastering-mastering dept.

GoodNicsTken writes "Rip Rowan over at prorec.com did an analysis of 5 different Rush CD's released from 1984 to 2002. The results show a definite trend in the recording/mastering style from each album. Rip contends that louder is not necessarily better as the record execs believe. The artist however, is often left with little choice in the matter."

    It's all about the radio. If your song has a lower volume than another one, it'll just sound Lame when it'll start.

    Of course all radios should/would/could normalize their playlists
