I wonder if the proliferation of these things is because the public
is becoming deaf and it's an increasingly noisy world? Or just that
DSP is so cheap that people are looking for applications of it to
make a buck:<br>
<br>
EXAMPLE:<br>

To me, another compressor claiming to be a "universal solution"....
to make things sound better, many of which sounded fine before they
got hold of it. As if you can make your food taste better by
putting a tablespoon of salt and pepper on everything --- before
tasting it!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
--------------------<br>
<br>
EXAMPLE:<br>
<br>
"After master", endorsed by tons of well-known people who I think
should know better!!!!<br>
<br>
Their demo:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://aftermasterhd.com/?page_id=809">http://aftermasterhd.com/?page_id=809</a><br>
<br>
demos of already-mastered material with their "after" process turned
up for unfair comparison. Is everyone crazy over there? Play back
the "after" version louder, won't you?<br>
<br>
Paul Wolff told me they spent more than a year on this
algorithm... what the F? He wants to sell me his process for use
in "lower class" mastering where the client can't afford my personal
service. That would be so wrong in so many ways... would not sell my
service at all, only undersell my service. <br>
<br>
These kind of things do not belong as a permanent "solution" in the
normal end chain of the listener. I can see a place for the Bongiovi
approach only in a noise-sensing environment such as a car with a
microphone to sense the noise---- but without noise sensing, this is
just marketing b.s. from my point of view. <br>
