RE: Perhaps I've heard this

Bob is not in the habit of clamping down the limiter beyond all reason. I've seen him counsel clients towards more dynamic masters, which I approve of. I've also seen him reject clients because they wanted a louder master still, even after he put significant hours of labor towards their music. In this latter case, after explaining the costs and having the clients acknowledge and ask for a louder master, I'd just do it. It's not as if music designed for the clubs is meant to be a breath of fresh air, anyways. And the client is always right...

I repeat, Bob did not detect this distortion problem on my system, even though I pointed it out to him and played the worst offending track for this problem that I know of.

But when I used the actual disc on Bob's system, I did not hear the problem. I really should try to hear it in more people's systems, but it is not one of my test tracks. (Perhaps it should be simply for this reason?) Also, I don't have a great deal of exposure to high quality systems.

On the other hand, you have five fingers.
