North0House2 07.03.14	I bought an old '86 GMC the other day. It has a CD player and real nice sound system in it... however the CD player ate my In Rainbows CD. :'( So I need to take it in and get that fixed. I hope it survives, I've had that CD forever and it's got some good memories on it.

elcrawfodor 07.04.14	For absolute clarity? Aja, In Absentia, The Black Album, Blackwater Park. For being a bit more muddy but creating a perfect atmosphere? My Arms, Your Hearse, Human. Just off of the top of my head.
wwf 07.04.14	MBDTF is really great, as is Axe To Fall. Jane Doe is amazing too, except for in a more 'how the fuck did they make all that everything sound so gnarly' And Abbey Road and Powerslave sound incredible for their era.
wwf 07.04.14	ooh Blackwater Park is gorgeous too.
elcrawfodor 07.04.14	Really anything Steven Wilson has produced.
Butkuiss 07.04.14	The amount of uber-compression on Mikael's harsh vox on Blackwater Park has always irked me, but nobody else seems to mind. I much prefer the Morningrise sound.
Ire 07.04.14	any king crimson album
Ire 07.04.14	you guys just love compression itt i guess that's why everything is brickwalled to shit
SharkTooth 07.04.14	I forgot: Pantera-Cowboys From Hell

BigBlob 07.21.14	Rosenrot by Rammstein. Amazing production, but their worst album...
jefflebowski 07.21.14	'MBDTF is really great' wtf
jefflebowski 07.21.14	do people actually enjoy their albums clipping every second note and brickwalled to all hell or something?
KILL 07.21.14	they prob listen to music on ipod headphones and dont notice it and think LOUDER is better so ya they do
jefflebowski 07.21.14	makes me sick how far we done fell
BlacKapes 07.21.14	oh look another convo about the loudness war limiters have come a long way since 2003 bros, with lookahead and intersample peak detection id say limiting up to dr4 wont introduce audible distortion. sorry but the waveforms in audacity/your dr meter wont tell you how much PERCEIVED headroom there is since you can increase peak to rms just by eqing differently yet it can SOUND lower in volume. use your ears
zakalwe 07.21.14	I'm sorry I don't have the first idea what your talking about.
RiffOClock 07.21.14	any tech death album where i can hear the pristine sounds of those triggers
sleepdirt 07.21.14	Joe's Garage

NorthernSkylark 07.21.14	Beat happening - Beat Happening
jefflebowski 07.21.14	'limiters have come a long way since 2003 bros, with lookahead and intersample peak detection id say limiting up to dr4 wont introduce audible distortion. sorry but the waveforms in audacity/your dr meter wont tell you how much PERCEIVED headroom there is since you can increase peak to rms just by eqing differently yet it can SOUND lower in volume. use your ears' science science science blah blah blah. if i can hear clipping i can hear it
NorthernSkylark 07.21.14	scientifically speaking you can't hear anything in space
ButteryBiscuitBass 07.21.14	CTRL F: 'Diabolical Summoning' ... ... ... PUSS
Tunaboy45 07.21.14	Every tool album (oh god what have I done?)
Alondite 07.21.14	Barring the clipping and compressed dynamic range of modern recordings, there are a few that still sound pretty good. - Pretty much anything Radiohead. - Fortress is my go-to standard for EQ (barring some specific genres). It's almost perfectly linear down to about 100 Hz, and then has a tasteful sub-bass boost. - Themata - Final Conversation of Kings - Lateralus - Jane Doe, of course. It's the cleanest dirty-sounding album I've ever heard. - The Crash of '47 - 13th Step I could go on for awhile. There are quite a few albums which sound particularly terrible, though. New Mastodon has crap production, newest La Dispute is God-awful (though can be improved with some internal EQ). Production is all over the map. It's kind of ridiculous and really inexcusable in this day and age.
BlacKapes 07.21.14	well whatever, i go on what.cd and theres always someone complaining about an album with dr6 as being overcompressed when there isnt any audible distortion or clipping and its fcking annoying. maybe if youre listening on a shit setup youll hear a compressor react to the low end and itll sound clipped if your setup isnt reproducing the lows. but i think people confuse generally shitty production with clipping. for example, linkin park - the hunting party sounds like shit, with a dr of 3-5, but it would sound like shit even if it had more dynamic range.
Alondite 07.22.14	Well...My HE-400s extend well down to the lowest limits of my hearing and have less than 1% THD up to about 200 Hz, so they have about as good a low-end reproduction as you can get. I also use a Schiit Magni/Modi Amp/DAC combo. I'm pretty certain that the issue isn't my setup. The biggest, or at least most audible, issue with production isn't even clipping/dynamic range, it's a lack of high frequency extension and poor EQ.
MalleusMaleficarum 07.22.14	J Dilla - Donuts
anarchistfish 07.22.14	"2 is clipped to fuck what are you listening on" [3]
BlacKapes 07.22.14	yeah alondite, i agree with that. i feel like anyone thinks they can master without having a proper setup/experience now that you can do it itb and thats the main problem and a lesson on how to fuck up a perfect album 101
Funeralopolis 07.22.14	i still don't know what clipping is but it sounds fine to me
MikeC26 07.22.14	Frank Zappa - Hot Rats Minus The Bear - Planet of Ice Quasimoto - The Unseen [2] Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine (prob best i've ever heard tbh) Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (those vox!) Rush - Hemispheres some off the top of my head
