Low levels - bad?

As a rule, a lower average level is a sure sign of less compression - 9 times out of 10.

Turning it up should yield a more musically involving sound. And it should sound less thin (unless there is an inherent problem in the recording)

Case in point - play any Reference Recordings orchestral piece. Then play the same piece from another label. The other labels will be louder, which is almost certainly some compression - squeezing the soft-to-loud delta together.

That being said, maybe the Hollywood set is the 1 out of 10.

Best regards,
