...that most recordings probably use some level of compression.
But the 2009 Beatles remasters are among some of the best recordings in my collection.
Original recording engineer Geoff Emerick, who supervised the remastering team, was quoted as saying they used just a little compression in the remastering to make the recordings just a little louder, but not so much as to cause a noticeable loss of dynamic range or any clipping and distortion.
About 10 years ago I interviewed disc masterer Paul Stubblebine who talked about what was then the beginning of the "loudness wars".
He said that the record producers were demanding he put all of the dynamic range in the last 10db of loudness so the recording would be noticed on an FM radio in a car, where most people listen.
He hated doing it, but they were paying him so he had to do what they wanted.
