Hi,
I won't jump into this fray of art vs. technique, as its just too dicey.
I agree with you, Fons, on the distortion introduced by limiting; but do
you have any theory as to why most people actually seem to like it? My
experience is that people seem to feel lightly compressed, open mixes
are weak, but will take to a "brutalised" mix enthusiastically. Do you
have a theory? Also, aren't we a bit of a slave to whatever people
happen to like, however much we might feel it is inferior?
Cheers,
S.M.
I wonder if it is simply the fact that the distortion gives us a clue that the
equipment is working as hard as it can. I've noticed that Fuzz on a guitar
seems to make it sound louder than a clean signal that is actually a far higher
amplitude. More 'width' seems to outweigh more 'height'.
Subjectivity ?
