0:14 original 0:39 compressed 1:15 compressed same volume

The first example makes you want to turn up the volume The compressed example makes you want to lower your volume

I am at the very beginning at my music career journey, and I fill blessed to find your videos

brickwall sounds better, sorry!

so that's why most of early family guy's audio sounds like that

0:09 Original Sound 0:34 Enloudened Sound 1:10 Enloudened Sound at Regular Volume 1:35 Original Sound Reprise

2006 wow :O

I think its down to taste. I like that shitty trashy quality. Bloghouse was exactly this. Burn Your Club from We Are Terrorists is great. The shit from Justice etc. But we can agree it isint necessary in all music. Thats fair enough.

Does compression ever change frequency?

Figure of 8 ...

The kick and snare sounds so shit on the compressed version what the fuck

Hello, I'm from future and I still love your videos! Thanks a lot for making this series.

Still the best and far the shortest example on the whole net. Thank you!

1:12 1:39

Some diagrams of the modulation would have helped a lot

Wow! I understood far more in 7 minutes with this video, than in hours of googling. Thank you!

Thanks

The sounds my grandma’s refrigerator used to make at night.

I mean with clipping and careful volume automation you can definetky achieve a loud but dynamic song. You dont specifically need to make the quieter parts louder, you can shave stuff off without losing quality with hard and soft clipping.

A sinister consequence of this has been that very loud music gets piped in as 'background music' in supermarkets, shopping malls/centres, and gyms. It's very hard to avoid. If I don't bring my own earphones to listen to music to block it out, then it's a guarantee that I'm going to get blasted by some caterwauling vocalist whose limited singing ability has been patched (rather than entirely transformed into something better) up by modern production techniques.

Sounds too harsh to be Sawtooth, so I'm guessing square, maybe with a bit of overshoot.

I'm doing an online course at SoundGym and I must thank you for your videos, Matt. I just want to point a small mistake on this one. The amplitude of a signal is, unless otherwise specified, measured from the reference value to the maximum value ("peak"). This is valid for most Physics and Engineering fields.

I remember analogue mastering...before the dark times...before the loudness war

The key thing is that people nowadays listen to music mostly on sh*t wireless earphones. They listen outside or in public transport, so pretty crowdy environment. Loudness war allows to hear music better without good noise cancellation, because everyting sounds simply louder. It just cannot be gone, due to how John Doe listens to music. Unfortunately.

Loudness war è una riprova del decadimento della qualità musicale e artistica dei nostri giorni. Metaforicamente è paragonabile a una riunione nella quale non conta il contenuto (la qualità, l'ispirazione e la bellezza artistica) di ciò che si dice ma ha successo solo "chi urla più forte". Non importa COSA hai da dire, l'importante è che suoni ALTO, sempre più alto, terribilmente alto, solo così ciò che fai verrà preso in considerazione. Il "mastering", al dila di cosa se ne dica e decanti, altro non è che un procedimento atto a "pompare" il piu possibile il suono, un delirio nel quale si cerca di spingere la traccia, comprimendola a dismisura e vivisezionandola con equalizzazioni al limite del maniacale con l'ovvia conseguenza di snaturare irrimediabilmente il suono e la dinamica, il più possibile contro gli zero decibel.

Thank you so much for this explanation! Almost 20 years on and your video is helping people :-) What's a CD, by the way?

Wow, even on my phone speaker I can hear the difference.

Wow, now I realize why older Rap songs sound way better.

love when youtube recommends to me after 17 years

How is this 17 years old, and even more relevant now than 17 years ago?

What even is the song

Still relevent 17 years later. This video is literally older than my sister is

I would like to add a different perspective on a certain point. The drums of a shaman had a lot of power. It also took years or decades of dedicated work learning to develope the required skills to handle this kind of power. It is still present in music today, we are just not consciously aware of it most of the time.

Great! 😂
