About Compression,
Does any one of this generation really know how uncompressed audio is
supposed to sound ?
Years ago (!) I recorded high school concerts, orchestras, choirs, etc. as
an avocation (LPs for sale). I still have those tapes. In spite of being of
amateurs, they sound great! Plenty of HS gym ambience, too! BUT NO
COMPRESSION! Of course, I had to ride gain sometimes, but very conservatively. Yes,
I know how uncompressed audio is supposed to sound.

There are some in every generation so benighted as to attend live,
unamplified performances. They know how uncompressed audio sound, not
merely how it is supposed to sound.
I, too, have recorded live performance, capturing ambience and honest
sound.
As for commercial compression, I would gladly kill my page on the matter at

if there were a better one availabel - or better yet if the practice
were not thriving.
