Ron Murphy does a pretty good job of doing just enough when he cuts that there is still some dynamics left. The Prairie Cat guy (who did a lot of 430 West records) is the same way. They both cut really well-balanced records. There's plenty of limiting and compression involved, they just don't overdo it.
But there is no shortage of people who just want their stuff to be louder. Vote with your feet on this one -- if it doesn't sound good don't play it. On 1/30/07, Thomas D. Cox, Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
no way. listen to NCS mastering jobs on many records out of detroit, its not the case on those. UR, planet e, sound signature, none of these labels are super compressing their stuff. and im sure there's more. its definitely more of a problem with euro/UK records..... tom
