Chris A Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) That could also be used when you are listening to your iPod, iPad or iPhone for re-EQing your tracks to match your hearing in each ear.. The link that I posted above is for your hi-fi system using a computer to play your discs or music downloads to un-squash your loud music tracks. If you are trying to produce un-squashed tracks from your squashed tracks, then I'd recommend using something other than mp3s or AAC tracks for best results.

tromprof Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Its called compression not squash Squash is pretty descriptive though. When you squash a bug, its dead or mortally wounded. Too much compression does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&hl=en&site=webhp&q=music+squash+compression+&oq=music+squash+compression I believe that the word used is apropos and correct. I'm not arguing, but I'd like to clarify so when I impress my friends with my knowledge I don't look like an idiot! I read the article you referenced. It uses the word "squash" only in the title, and it uses the word "squeeze" once in the article. I've never heard the word before in this context, only "compression. Is "squash" a commonly used term, or is it more of a cute nickname? In other words, is it like the word "squawker" used for mid-range. It is a goofy sounding word, but 100% accepted as the proper term. Please pardon my ignorance, in advance. It's just hard to be a snobby audiophile and use all the fancy words if I don't know what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Is it "Coke" or "Coca Cola" (...or soda)? Is it Chevy or Chevrolet (...without the "t')? Squash is a term that mastering engineers themselves use to describe the process (a verb), to describe the finished product ("squashed tracks") as an adjective, and as a preposition ("I squashed the mixes"). Compression/compress sound more formal and to me, and much less emotive of what's actually happening. Especially when used to the levels that the technique is being used today (http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list/year/desc). I like the word "squash" to describe the process and the degree of its effect on the finished product--so I use it. So do mastering engineers. This is English--and you can "do" almost anything that you like with it...and people usually do...even on this forum.

Kent T Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 No way to undo it. It will always sound bad. And Klipsch won't make them sound pretty. As Klipsch is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
