I learned a lot about compression on this thread. Limited experience suggests that light-moderate compression improves vocals, and even heavy compression can add a lot of oomph to a bass line. The LADSPA compressor that has produced the best results for me is the Dyson. Second what Geoff said. As a musician, I've always strived to make music pleasing to me and my friends in whatever situation it arises. As a (newb) audio engineer, I try for the same -- a sound that pleases me. As a listener/fan, don't listen to what you don't like or what doesn't sound "good" on your system, but criticising the engineering is a little silly because nothing will sound good to everybody in every environment.

you know, audio is a totally subjective subject as is music itself; and audio has no other major purpose other than the reproduction of music.(a movie consisting only of atmos,fx and dialogue isn't generally made and distributed.sound installations are fine but are only available in the "round".) just rely on your ears and your heart. everything else is just science. g. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
