@inthehands @conniptions @mekkaokereke yes, exactly this. listening to digital masters that weren’t subject to the loudness wars (for instance, mfsl) is a very good experience, often sounding as good or better than vinyl. streaming services’ lufs-based loudness leveling renders the loudness wars moot, and people listen in noise canceling headphones, so these days, music tends to be mastered with much less of that horrible compression
