Rage-Worthy Technical Tutorials Et Cetera...

It's fucking Lynda.com what do you expect?

Sure it is, it's just that it's common practice and 'knowledge' within the community, more than the source itself... This is probably ( don't know for sure) what they teach students at Full Sail in Florida... Ever read the CDDA Red book audio standard or any of the other rainbow books? CD digital audio allows for such a greater dynamic range, and it's only major disadvantage versus analogue media would be pulse code modulation because frequencies and variables , all the audio data basically has to be approximated into fairly less granular decimal values... but yea, my point was just that the loudness range of CDDA hasn't been taken advantage of. Mostly, anyway.

You need to go back to the early days of CD releases, up through the mid-90s, to find mixes that truly took advantage of the extended dynamic range.

Excellent example of this in practice:

I mean, you can physically feel the differences in volume, even after being passed through the shitty Youtube audio algorithm. How often do you get that these days?

I remember there being a campaign among mastering engineers about a decade ago to have stickers with "Wide Dynamic Range - Turn Me Up!" added to albums that WEREN'T brick-mastered. That's an idea that needs revisiting.

Mastering engineers are the problem; they used to do all sorts of useful and highly technical things but now all they do is take a great-sounding production master and compress all the life out of it for pleb mass-consumption

Really, it would be better to keep things in analog until the final stages

>what they teach students at Full Sail
They teach you that heavy-handed compression is the work of Satan and that Rick Rubin is his greatest acolyte
