    this article was in Rolling Stone not to long ago: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17777619/the_death_of_high_fidelity/print


    One of the quotes: "I believe that if a vocalist is hyper-tuned, it's less personal. I have no aversion to using Auto-Tune when I have to. But I think listeners can hear it."
    — Brendan O'Brien, producer of Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Bruce Springtseen's The Rising and Magic

    If its too loud you are too old!

  • this happens to me too. In the gym I have a lot of old soundgarden on my shuffle and I have to crank it up to even hear it and then the next song comes on and blows my eardrums out.

    Talking of Soundgarden, they are one of the few bands that had very decent production, check out Like Suicide as an example, it's genius how clearly you can hear every instrument.
