On a scale of 1 to 10, how drunk are you right now?

 

[Soldierovdoom]

5-6... had 6 beers at lunch... which was 3 hours ago...

ok...your liver neutralizes the equivalent of one beer an hour, iirc, so...three beers in ya. Nope, that's no excuse. Your spelling is unforgivable. Also, you seem to have a fondness for the word "cunt." Not that that's a bad thing. Indeed, we have many cunts around here (I don't mean the ladies), so you'll get to use it plenty.

I won't pick on you, as I actually have something to say that is on topic.

Yes, Diminishing Between Worlds is badly mastered. It tops out at -8 dBfs and drops at times to -10 dBfs. It's not like they were trying for more dynamic range as it never goes above -8. They could have just boosted the material 8 dB. Perhaps there was a lot of noise in the recording so they dropped it down.
