BRING BACK THE DynamiCS “Over the past decade and a half, a revolution in recording technology has changed the way albums are produced, mixed and mastered – almost always for the worse.” David Bendeth, producer Dave Lombardo Day by day our ears are fed with the recordings the quality of which was intentionally suppressed in the course of a mixing or a mastering process. With the recordings that are often massacred beyond recognition - still this activity is not perceived as a crime. Dynamics is one of key elements in any music, perhaps the most important - it is virtually light and shade of the music. It creates a sense of spaciousness and makes it easier to pick out individual sonic elements – room reverberation, resonance of the wooden body of a guitar, the sound of strings being plucked, vocalist raising or lowering her/his voice, a sudden rush of drums, a quiet section bursting into a fortissimo passage – these elements bring an excitement to a music and when those things are neutered, the excitement is lost. There is a simple rule: Badly recorded music with good dynamics can be enjoyable.

Even the best audiophile recording with flat dynamics makes you hit a STOP button pretty soon! Why is it like that?

The macrodynamic metrics show us the difference between the loudest peak of a recording and its quietest part, usually the complete silence.

The microdynamic scale is something different - it is the moving difference between the average loudness level of a recording and the momentary peaks (or dips). It is the macrodynamics which is an unseparable part of enjoyment and listening experience. Not everyone can hear the difference and not everyone can interpret the measurements from different plug-ins or meters that are used by sound engineers. That is why Algorithmix and Pleasurize Music Foundation developed a simple software utility that measures the dynamic range of any recording for us, in a simple and easy way: TT DYNAMIC RANGE METER. The TT meter is downloadable from the following links (the location may change now and then so if the links do not work properly just seacrh the Pleasurize Music Foundation's web or use Google). The utility works for Windows, MAC OS and Foobar.
