Among the CD album is very loud, there is a remarkable phenomenon occurs, namely the level of violence his Metallica album titled Death Magnetic. It seems the album is very much related to the issue of The Loudness War. The Death Magnetic CD is compressed so it sounds Louder and more Forceful - at the expense of sound quality.
A case that we know, the sound issues are a result of the "loudness war" - an ongoing industry effort to make-Recordings as loud as possible, so That on cursory listens tracks leap forcefully from the speakers. While any album can just have its volume turned up on your stereo, records like Death Magnetic have compressed audio Their, Them making inherently Louder at the expense of dynamic range and sound quality.
For this one album, many are also discussed on the website and other blogs, opinions of, among others:
"On purchasing our CD ... We gave the disc a spin and could not help wondering if our office were the resource persons headphones faulty as the kick and snare drum seemed to be audibly clipping, along with some of the palm-muted guitar parts," Chris wrote Vinnecombe, guitar editor of music-making website MusicRadar.
Ian Shepherd on his blog wrote: "Metallica's new album" Death Magnetic "as an example, Because it's distorted sound has Caused an outcry amongst fans of the band this week, and even a petition calling for a remix - but sadly there are many other examples Could I have picked from recent years - from any genre - even country, folk and jazz are feeling the collateral damage of the "conflict".
You should immediately hear the songs from the album Death Magnetic, and verify whether your ear is strong enough to endure listening to a song filled with noise and without dynamics. Then, if the mixing engineer and mastering engineer they are wrong? The following quote their words:
"Certainly I'm sympathetic to your reaction," said Ted Jensen, head engineer at Sterling Sound, quoted on the Metallica forums. "I get to slam my head against brick wall That every day. In this case, the mixes were the resource persons already brick-walled before They arrived at my place. Suffice to say I would never be pushed to overdrive Things as far as They are here. "
Well, behind the CD album Death Magnetic, it turns out there are versions of the songs in the game Guitar Hero is actually quite sound more comfortable ear. The version used on the Guitar Hero videogame, where players can solo along with James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, has been mixed differently - with far better dynamic range. The videogame version of the record was made available last week, as an $ 18 (£ 9) download.
Quite strange is not it? so if you are one of Metallica fans, do not worry, it'll sound better if you buy Guitar Hero. And back again to our destination, stop the loudness war and return dynamics of the music.
