Dynamic Range is your friend, to be cherished and nurtured, not beaten to death and pawned off to unsuspecting listeners as quality music. As an independent producer/mixer/engineer, if record companies are short on manpower to go back and try to resurrect quality music from original mixes, I'm more than willing to donate some time...the quality of the music is worth it.

Pianississississimo
Pianissississimo
Pianississimo
Pianissimo
Piano
Mezzo piano
Mezzo forte
Forte
Fortissimo
Fortississimo
Fortissississimo

We use dynamics to articulate what we're trying to say through our instruments. Humans are complex, our emotions can be expressed through our music. We don't need everything to be Fortissississimo (to play as loudly as possible)

Pushing the music to play as loud as possible is like being pissed off and angry ALL the time. No one wants either one.

Seriously, you have high-end equipment, (mostly) well trained engineers and producers, come up with the best sounding (dynamic rangy) music you can. It's 2013.

I buy CDs to listen to them. I don't listen to folks who say that trying to keep audio cds in the home causes too much clutter. Please stop robbing CD audio recordings of their dynamism, clarity & enjoyability. I do play my audio CDs back over decent speakers. Compressed recordings really rob the joy that I can feel as a listener. My original, AAD Toys in the Attic album, by Aerosmith sounds very dynamic and clear and so does my recording of Crash & Burn by Pat Travers. I know you that vibrant music can be neutrally recorded, you do too. I find well recorded audio CDs to be more valuable and they enhance my listening experience greatly. I love the music on Heaven and Hell, by Black Sabbath. The Rhino remastered version of this audio CD could have benefited greatly from a careful cleanup and attentive sound engineering, instead it sounds compressed and exhibits unnecessary distortion when played back on a decent audio rig. What a tragedy. Sadly a tragedy that is repeated over & over again. Please stop the compression, gimmicks and gouging before we all entirely give up on purchasing new audio CD
