Damn!! that proggie (while I've heard it's good) doesn't give you any gain control.
Not much you can do at that point AND I really should have not used that album as an example... my bad... that kinda
music (they call it country) has so much damned instrumental "noise" all at the same level it's almost as if whoever
made the CD drove the hell out of it.
It's sad really... catering to the young kids who are already half deaf :( Most CDs made 10 years ago would rarely
(unless they were Heavy Metal or ??) have the gain that high.
Anyway... maybe you learned a little 'bout "gain" from that article.. if nothing else. Yeah.. there are non-destructive
ways you reduce it but it can get rather techie and I'm sure you don't wanna go there <grin>.
So... just keep doin' what yer doin'... the tracks "sound" good... just over driven (and me bein' picky).
Hopefully you now know the difference between gain and volume (most folks don't)
Sorry to have butted in.
