Yeah, the nuance and musicality of the white noise has been entirely lost.

That just looks like a picture of someone's hand reaching up to steal an egg.

LOL

genuine lol

thanks

edit: no malice here, i was genuinely, non maliciously amused

:handegg:

and thusly a new watmm meme is born

i actually think it sounds pretty excellent. terrible lie in particular sounds very nice.

I'm a bit surprised he went the loud route, given that that track he did earlier this year for the Iron Man movie (the Japanese Iron Man movie) had some of the biggest volume shifts I've heard in a while.

Tetsuo: The Bullet Man

while i agree on the dynamics side, this track definitely does hit 0dB quite a few times. still, there's a hell of a lot more dynamic range in this track alone than in the entire remaster of PHM - even beating Something I Can Never Have in terms of dynamics

Not to change the subject, but can any recommend articles, tutorials or books on the subject of compression/dynamic techniques. I'm well versed in broad concepts as I studied it but never got a handle on practical aspects with recorded music.

this is a great book

Bob Katz - Mastering Audio: The Art And The Science

My favorite noise in head like a hole is very quiet ;(

Sounds very good. Terrible Lie, Sanctified, Something I can Never Have, Kinda I want to, and Sin stand out very well. I especially love what they did with Sin, sounds great.
