RE: Dynamic range power

Oooo excellent!

While "dynamics" is a sales word, One of the strangely unrecognized things in audio, is the dynamic range in music, even 80's rock haha.

Actually those recordings had more range than many "modern ones", a new ACDC recording made an uproar in the recording community as it was not only highly compressed but also highly clipped.

It is worth mentioning that unless clipping is "long enough", you can't hear it per say, it is only detectable when you compare "A vs B" to a version without clipping and the difference is in the subjective dynamic and not an audible "sonic defect" as one normally thinks of in clipping..

This is how so many audio systems are seemingly under powered, especially if clipping gracefully. Thankfully the owners aren't in a position to compare to "un-clipped" rendition.
Also, this may help explain the trend towards so many pop recordings with less dynamics range (as speakers have generally gotten smaller and less dynamic) than those from 10 and 20 years ago.

Simultaneously, there are those who tend towards recordings and playback systems that have the range and go in the direction of utilizing the capacity of the medium.
I am waiting for a new recording to arrive by a group called Jar;

This sounded like a good one but haven't heard it on my system.

Hey, the graphic display you used is very cool!

I was wondering if you might be wiling to run the fireworks recording on the web site through that for fun. It is hard to produce all of that one.

Also, when i tried to convert it to an mp3 it totally ruined it dynamically even at 320k, I'll bet the difference would show up in your display too.

I have a recording i made of some kids playing Irish folk music which will be up eventually, hey, actual music instead of sounds.
Best,
Tom Danley
