Björgvin Benediktsson gives a roaring critique on who’s really to blame for music being too loud these days. Just thought it was your parents complaining, wishing for the old days when tracks were listened to by scratchy gramophones? Think again. There’s a very specific and purposeful process to editing music so it’s deemed fit for mass consumption, at it involves a little known but often abused worker called a “limiter”. Using his own music know how and sense of humor, this blogger calls attention to the fact that the limiter might not be who we have to blame.
Key Takeaways:
- The forlorn limiter. He’s just there to make your music sound louder. It was never his expectation to murder it.
- He’s by and large dishonestly charged for violations he didn’t confer. He was utilized, and the killings went ahead at no blame of his own.
- In a current article he absolved the limiter of any wrongdoing. It’s not the limiter that squashes the living crap out of your music.
“The same happens if you abuse the limiter. If you push a limiter too hard he will bite back. Whereas once he loved the music that ran through him, now he ruins it by crushing the life out of it. If you care for him, he will care for your music.”
