So I think there's more to it that "I'm louder than you." You know, in all of my time spent messing with Pro Tools, and being involved in the forums where a lot of us have shared our music for critical comment, the only comment I've EVER heard about my mixes not being loud enough is that people don't want to be bothered dealing with the volume control on their system. It has NEVER been that making the mix louder makes the mix sound better than just turning the stereo up to make them louder. It's always been far more that when people are playing one mix from me and one mix from another person they just want them all to be consistently loud so that they all sound about the same. That's just my experience. Many people, musician's included, just want everything the same. Problem is that gives us a 50/50 chance that they'll all be the same, and all be wrong. ;-) > > But yes, there certainly seems to be some of what say there, unfortunately. > It forces some of us to crunch our stuff more than we want to.
