This quote really cracked me up:
"Compression doesn't "tighten up dynamics" imbecile, it clips the peaks, period. If anything it softens dynamics by shaving the peaks off and too much will destroy the dynamics, not "tighten" them. I agree with "lightly" but as for a distorted sound, i'm sorry but I don't care how right you think you are, your completely wrong, since the dynamics of an overdriven guitar (hence higher peaks) are at a lower threshold, naturally there needs to be more compression. People who say "don't compress distorted guitars" are idiotic. Thats completely false."
I've scarcely ever seen such a complete lack of understanding - it beggars belief
Surely just listening alone should illustrate to this guy he's completely off beam here? Surely you would have to be deaf to make such a statement?
And this:
"Quote:
"Distortion by nature has an amount of compression in it."
This is also false, completely untrue and you don't know what your talking about. Distortion is distortion (fuzzy sounding, duh) and compression is compression (the clipping of peaking levels). Get a clue, they are two totally separate entities"
What! Jeez! This guy is really barking - and yet he's so sure he is right - incredible
