http://www.austin360.com/music/content/music/stories/xl/2006/09/28cover.htmlIt's quite long, but it's interesting. Prior to reading this, I didn't give much thought to why I never seem to give repeated plays to certain CDs, even those I like. I'd be curious to know the thoughts of the pro/am beatmaker/engineer community up in here on this topic. When I'm messing around with beats, I tend to compress certain sources, such as breaks, quite a lot, but I'm wary of going too crazy with it. I could do with some useful mastering tips if anyone's in the mood to share.

    yeah, this loudness issue is why i can't listen to most major label "pop" stuff. It just bleeds my ears...the sonics have just become so piercing.

    nice article!
