Well, you -can- do that, but then what's the point of dynamic range if one simply wants to turn the soft parts up (which makes the loud parts too loud)? There is a school of thought that soft sounds are supposed to be quiet and mixed in with the background noise to the point that we strain to hear them. Otherwise the composer wouldn't have written the song or score that way and the conductor and/or musicians wouldn't have played it with that level of quietness. On some material, you can envision the composer wanting the listener to literally work to hear the music and perhaps even have some uncertainty about differentiating the music from the ambient noise. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
