Some of my favorite music is quite dynamic…I guess I would say that I have not come across music that is too dynamic.
Yes, mastering does have to use some compression…but not to the level that most pop music uses today.
My experience as well. Clearly good performers, good sound engineering are fundamental sound quality determinants. Lower DR works of the same piece are uniformly less interesting and more fatiguing to me as my brain tries to find missing information it expects to be there.
I agree, not just today, but for much of the past 40 years or since they were able to discern more people listened to the ‘loudest’ radio station simply because it was louder. More ears hearing the bill paying, profit making advertising.
It’s the difference in dynamic range that can be too great for me sometimes. My particular hearing damage exacerbates it; hyperacusis.
Ouch. I am sorry that you have that. Besides being deaf, or a lot of ringing, that is the last hearing disorder I would choose to have.
That’s what I hoped. I’ll be contacting Qobuz about this, though.
Thank you
