Good argument ;), but regarding to Darwinism you better don't listen to music while being in the jungle ... 'sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under' (Grandmaster Flash). Of course, I like multi-band compressors, e.g. JAMin too. I'm not a Bob Katz fan or an anti-compressor-hardliner. I just want to point out that measured results are less important (not unimportant). - Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
