Hehe :D I'm a lone wolf, I do music just for me, so I can tune it to my needs, excepted if I do a job. BUT Quentin, it's not fair to say that "normal" people who like art, while they need to do bad jobs to survive, "WANT" "smashed rubbished tuned music". It's the only way to listen to music, while you live a "normal" life! Btw. I very seldom listen to music. I don't like background music. Most people only listen to background music! I'm a child of the 80ies, we wanted to have the best sound quality that we could get ... today people are listening to MP3 ... I would suicide myself before doing this ... AND in addition, they hear MP3 by mobile telephones ... Don't get me wrong! Please empathize in consumers. I don't want music to be optimized for mobile telephones. But popular music should be mastered in a kind of way, that REALLY can be heard on most equipment and in most situations. It's ivory towered to assume that "good recorded" music is "good recorded" for "common" listeners, with common equipment, especially in addition if you use home recording equipment to do the mastering. I don't know what a loudness button is :D, but I can imagine what it is. The crux of the matter is what you want as result! Yes, everybody will say, that he wants the most natural, linear mixed music, without having any knowledge what this means. The truth is, that people want to have music, they are able to "understand", while they don't have the skilled ears (brain) of an audio engineer and while they are not just listening to music, but while they move around and do their work etc..
