I prefer music that is not mastered to sound best in a moving car. My post was slightly tongue in cheek. I guess the broader point is most people don't care about musical fidelity very much and don't want to turn the volume up and down or deal with huge dynamic swings, so compression as a trend entirely makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Precisely. In a quiet environment, the range between the silence and the loud parts is appreciated. With the relatively high noise floor in a car, the quite passages are lost without adjusting the volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
