Questions:
So clipping from mastering comes from pushing the limiter to hard?
The limiter has to be pushed hard to get a loud and in your face outcome?
Can't the band or ME hear it?
Do they hear it but decide to make that sacrifice simply because they want or are requested to have that loud, in your face production?
Does the ME simply not know what he's doing? I find this hard to believe in every single case but maybe it is and judging from James's last post, it looks like that's a strong possibility.
Doesn't it make someone or everyone involved including the label look bad?
And finally, has anyone here personally or know of someone/band that has sent their material away and paid to get mastered with it coming back clipping?
I'm talking blatant, obvious, nasty ass clipping that the average person can hear and say wtf is that?
I was interested in the Bonded by Blood remaster but not now.
