The only thing useful about the DR is if it's correlated with a clearly overcompressed waveform. As you say, it appears very easy to artificially boost with a bit of DSP'ing.<br /><br />Nonetheless, there is some Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-32102982813852991542014-03-15T12:58:24.720-07:002014-03-15T12:58:24.720-07:00I recently investigated a DR 'anomaly' in ...I recently investigated a DR 'anomaly' in a CD release of Sky's self-titled debut album. There have been a number of CD reissues of this album but one in particular (MER008 on the Merlin label) apparently has higher DR levels than all of the others. When I finally found a copy it turned out that it was indeed more dynamic according to the DR meters but only because the EQ has been Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222982604116645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-28251749530858505362014-03-15T10:18:44.099-07:002014-03-15T10:18:44.099-07:00Convenience and easy availability I guess...

I was blown away by just how much difference rather small manipulations could make so long as I lowered the level of these audio files prior to various plug-ins manually!<br /><br />I could see some easy ways for companies to boost those DR numbers even if the source material is highly compressed...

I therefor use the BX Digital V2 plug in from Brainworx. And this that, I can prepare the mix for Vinyl in a way, that at the end, I have JR_Audiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547557948411188806noreply@blogger.com
