I've tried to explain this to people but it's hard to visualize. This video makes the whole thing perfectly clear.
This should be required viewing for every sound engineer under 35 years old. I think I need to make that my sig somewhere... "When there is no quiet, there can be no loud."

Thanks for posting this. The more people that see this, the better. We audiophiles have been complaining of this ruining of music for several years but it seems to make no difference to the record companies. This was also posted over at the www.stevehoffman.tv forums was by Steve Hoffman (mastering engineer extraordinaire)and resulted in a muti-page discussion.
Steve Hoffman and his partner Kevin Grey recently mastered the vinyl LP of Red Hot Chili Peppers latest Stadium Arcadium and the difference between the LP and the cd is night and day. You wouldn't believe the dynamics that are the on the master tape (and lp) and how good it can sound compared to the horrible cd that has had the dynamics and 'life' smashed out of it by over-compression.
