Written by Rulatore on 19.04.2020 at 20:38 Earache already released many classic albums with full dynamic range, but besides them being (generally) quieter, I can't tell any difference.

Written by IBlackened on 19.04.2020 at 23:17 Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and quietest parts in terms of volume. You might find the overall perceived volume to be lower, but in a good listening environment these versions are way more detailed. And yes, for some people that will also mean that in order to hear the small (quiet) details you will have to turn up the volume more. These are probably the closest versions we'll ever get to what was actually committed to the master tape originally.

Written by qlacs on 20.04.2020 at 12:38 I know what dynamic range means. I can see by their waveform that they're less compressed, but I open an audio editor, pair up the 2 versions, normalize them, do an A/B test while they're playing, and unless my headphones suck, there's no noticeable difference to me.

Written by IBlackened on 20.04.2020 at 18:45 Depth is not always noticeable unless you've been training your ears, also the high end (above 10kHz) is a tough cookie to discern even for seasoned audio engineers. Do a nulltest between the two. If the nulltest produces no audio then either you have the full-range version twice or we've been bamboozled....
