I did a little looking into dynamic range and found this helpful link: https://www.antarestech.com/community/a-beginners-guide-to-dynamic-range-in-audi... I must admit however, I am still at a loss about the purpose/function of this site.

Tony, I think if you add “brickwall” or “brickwalled” to a search it might shed some light. The loudness wars produced some awful media because my album had to be louder than your album. When these recordings are analyzed the spectrum would look like a brick wall and sound horrible. At least that’s my guess how that site could be useful.

Sean. Thank you for posting on this Exactly correct. We own many brickwalled cd's from that era that are absolutely intolerable. The stained cd titled 14 Shades of Grey comes to mind. We even purchased the DVD-A version of the same title when it came out in hopes the mixing was improved. Nope, now crap in hd .....just wonderful.. Tongue

All the best ~Mike

by the way~ I should never assume more people were aware of the 'loudness wars' era of mixing and recording. They destroyed a lot of what should have been great listening~ I apologize. I should have been clear. https://www.musicianwave.com/the-loudness-war/
