Yeah, and with different needs like this, the answer is to put compressors on the car stereo, the playback device, not on the mix/master. That would make things in the car listenable without destroying the home experience and fidelity of the recording. This exactly what FM radio does. They have super multi-band compressors to control the signal (for modulation bandwidth reasons) as well as provide a uniform listening experience. -Ben /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
