It's 'cuz of the Loudness war, 'n has got nothing to do with the mixing/mastering but the post-treatment by the Audio companies (I believe).
Kindly check these threads discussing on the 'Loudness issue' on AR tracks. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arrahmanfans/message/104387 http://www.mail-archive.com/arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com/msg44307.html Rahman fever His Music ~ My Mother Tongue ________________________________ From: amol kadu <kadooa...@yahoo.com> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, 19 July, 2009 9:47:28 PM Subject: Re: [arr] Where is the glorious RAHMAN I think i am just plainly amused by whatever he creates Just a voice of crib tho' I dunno with a better audioo equipment at disposal my doubts would prove to be idiotic- buti feel the earlier arr albums(pre-RDB) used to sound so sweet- the harsh notes were not disturbing. Post RDB i think the sweetness has given way to loudness. Earlier ppl used to complain about hw arr cds have a lesser o/p in terms of volume as compared to other bollywood stuff- but they had such an impact - i remember playing tracks of thiruda.. , me madahm and dil se to 75% on the volume scale - and nobody complained(includin g my neighbours)- Now i dnt dare to do it can somebody explain- is it just that i have crappy system? if its true, what happpens to rest of india which listens to most of d stuff on pirated 128 kbps mp3s and single speaker radios? or is just figment of my imagination. .. most respectfully amol ________________________________ From: Arijit Debnath <arijit...@gmail. com> To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2009 10:56:26 AM Subject: Re: [arr] Where is the glorious RAHMAN AMADEUS..... ......... ..
