This is coming from a musician with 20 years experience as a professional. To be blunt, as a creative musician, i would rather have you listen to my music on the worst possible system, rather than not at all, in the hopes that my stuff is produced so well, that it sounds good under the worst circumstances, and will make you WISH you had a Macbook or something to listen to it on. Seriously, the goal is to reach the masses. Hell no, because I want people to hear my music! Period. As someone who strives for perfection in my work, it is frustrating to know that the end listener will only hear a small chunk of what I have worked to achieve: each small adjustment I make is inconsequential, as those details will be lost as waveforms are approximated time after time.Дoes it make me work less hard? Do I throw in the towel and produce mediocre material because it doesnвЂ™t matter and theyвЂ™ll be listening on Crappletop speakers and wonвЂ™t hear those subtle parts, panning positions, EQ on this guitar, keyboard parts sweeping in and outвЂ¦? Unfortunately, this is how people do and will continue to consume media, and itвЂ™s only going to get worse.

IвЂ™m a professional musician and composer/producer, and I dislike the overuse of compression/limiting in music production, as well as lossy data compression such is being discussed in this article. I would be very happy to have your support and your audience that, on the whole, has no idea of the severity of the problem as well as where to turn for solutions.

My company is about to start a global campaign in defense of Music вЂ“ this unseen and misunderstood Invisible Art that for over 30 years had an increasingly rough ride at the hands of a new generation of clueless music вЂbusinessmenвЂ™ вЂ“ inept digital audio packagers for want of a more polite description. I will also bring to your attention DSD format which, at last, saved the face of digital audio and allowed music to be properly recorded retaining all its analogue essentials and many things besides вЂ“ things that allow us to hear and enjoy music for a change again. I will point to the real issues that had practically dragged Her Majesty Music to the compressed digital no-res gutter. Marc, please do write to me using your personal email and I will provide you with detailed overview of what has happened to music in the last 50 years. SophieвЂ™s experience is a trap, that, if weвЂ™re honest, weвЂ™ve all fallen into at one point or another since the rise of MP3 at the turn of the century.В Combine this with the increasingly passive and fickle listening experience that streamed music encourages, and you can begin to see why people start to forget why they loved music in the first place. Claiming, and I quote вЂStreaming music has made it so dull IвЂ™ve lost all interest in itвЂ™.В Powerful words, but I suspect that what sheвЂ™s experiencing is not so much a consequence ofВ losing the physical medium, butВ more of a side effectВ from going allВ compressed.

As an example,В Sophie Heawood of theВ Guardian writes a fantastic piece about her experience of selling off all her music and going digital. Badly compressed music can sound tinny, lifeless, or even distorted, and this has a knock on impact when it comes to our emotions. The truth is, compressed music вЂ“ particularly badly compressed examples вЂ“ is that it just doesnвЂ™t have the same effect on us emotionally.
