I LOVE that idea, though it's sad that it is necessary to do it.

I still listen mostly to music from the 80s, not only because it's better music than today's, but it's better mastered too (before the loudness wars and compressed-into-oblivion crap).

[madmac]

I have plenty of dynamic range thank you very much!!.

Also.....As far as I can remember, the only good thing to come out of the 80's was Hall and Oates !!!. Hehehe!!!

[wkhanna]

You might want to consider using one of those smilely face 'wink' icons.
Some one could misconstrue your post as being serious :W

[Chris D]

Ah, while I might agree about the 70's, (unless you're a fan of disco) I for one am a big fan of the 80's music we grew up with!

[PewterTA]

I proudly support this movement and all the good that can only come of it!!!

Today's music sounds like pure crap (not the music itself... the mastering and brick walling). Pretty sad when all the music of today sounds like I'm listening to it through Bose..... :cry:

I WANT CONTROL BACK OF MY VOLUME KNOB!!!! ha ha.

[PewterTA]

Happy International Dynamic Range Day!!!!!!!!!!

[wkhanna]

It is not about what music you listen to.
It is about all music made today.
Our precious systems and their ability to reproduce the nuance of well recorded music are useless when fed a diet of this brick-walled trash.

Don't forget Village People!

Nigel.

They're from the 70s.

[bigburner]

They're from the 70s.

I never let the facts get in the way of a good photo!

... and to be fair they did operate up to about 1985, albeit not as magnificently as in the late 70s.

Let's give Nigel a break, guys.
He is probably just going thru marmite withdrawal. :W

Bill, I'm actually a Vegemite fan, not Marmite, which tastes like rendered down animals to me.

Nigel.

[bigburner]

By the way I must make it clear that I can't stand the music of Village People. One of my biggest fears in life is finding myself at an evening function and being asked to dance to YMCA.

Nigel.

[Ovation]

I banned all such nonsense at my wedding (told the DJ that if he played ANY music from the list of banned songs I gave him--no matter how much anyone begged--he would forfeit the other half of the fee for the event. The list of banned songs was in the contract, at my insistence.).

[wkhanna]

But was the Marmite banned from the caterer’s contract?

[Ovation]

Not specifically, no. Rather 8 servings of marmite than 5 minutes of either the Village People or Celine Dion (who was also banned from the playlist--tough to manage in Quebec).

[wkhanna]

Yikes! I wonder if the human immune system could even survive 8 servings of marmite.

Good call on the music, sort of like The wife and I having a jazz band with no Polka music or playing of the 'Hokey Pokey' at our wedding here in Western Pa.

[Ovation]

No line dancing of any kind was allowed. No Celine (number one on the ban list). No Village People. In fact, when I was asked for suggestions by the DJ, I submitted a list of 300 songs from which to choose. I wasn't in charge of much for the wedding (what husband ever is ) but I was in charge of music. That was non-negotiable.

[Chris D]

Huh... never even heard of Marmite. Sounds like a superhero substance, like Kryptonite, you know.

"Watch out, Laser Beam Man! You'll never be able to cut through this Marmite!"

... or maybe something from Star Trek...

"Captain! We are being attacked by Marmites!"

[bigburner]

Huh... never even heard of Marmite.

That doesn't matter Chris as long as you remember that Vegemite is the real oil, the real McCoy, the cool bananas.

Not necessarily……the chit-chat keeps the thread active with ’New Post’ designation. Hopefully drawing attention to the OT.
