<pre wrap="" class="">FYI everyone:
Matt from Avenged Sevenfold called and said that they need to put at least a little more level on their future material, he said that so many fans complained about the “very poor production” on the album and how low-level it is and I guess they really complained a lot! He said the streaming services are not leveling it out and their stuff makes fans turn up the volume too much when their new songs come one. A valid point at this time in history I guess.
On another note, a client was in who listens to Google Play and he complained that the levels were all over the place and they should do something about it!
All else is well here.
Best,
Bob L.
