Have you noticed how your cd’s have been progressively been getting louder over the years?

This is thanks to The Loudness War where some people believe that louder is better.

Unfortunately, you can only push the perceived boundaries of loudness so far before the audio quality suffers as was the very noticeable case of Metallica’s recent album ‘Death Magnetic’.

Music is supposed to breath and have dynamics and when you try and make it louder, it loses its dynamic range and possibly even suffers distortion as a consequence.
