I have been reading many posts about loudness lately. The following is mostly in jest:New Super Impact +15db Disk!
A revolution in technology! Plays on your existing CD player!
Simply insert disk. Press play and follow the instructions.
[audible voice-over, in soothing yet confident tones: this disk will sound odd at first-you must
take control of your volume knob and turn up approximately 1/4 turn. Sit back and experience +15db technology!]
The music hits [with rms down -15dbfs or so..] and the music is slamming. Its amazing!
***caution-this disk is so 'loud' it may max out your system****
err, I guess most ipods might not have the headroom? Hehe.
