Yes, but peaking is a fixable problem, and just shows the laziness of a particular artist in not getting his tracks to sound as best as they could.

This isn't a DJ playing live, this is a guy toiling in his bedroom studio with all the time on his hands to work and rework a track to perfection.

For what we pay for cds nowadays, I'd like the mixing and production of the music that I purchase to be at least acceptable. I don't want to hear peaking and UNintentional digital distortion on every song off of the album. I guess it's me being an anal producer griping about non-anal producing. take it as you will. -mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
