Another good example is Thru' My Rearview (Grab The Mic). The sample was heavily compressed, which totally destroys the dynamics. Dverything sounds equally loud. If you listen to the original song you can tell the sounds kinda fade out:

Im not an expert on this matter [MENTION=12451]Dominator but The way it was explained to me, all music is 'brickwalled' on CD. acoustic dynamic range is gone. Must be like crushing blacks and whites on images to drown out the detail.
its a shame what they did to CD/digital. Digital is the cleanest quality but they mastered sound on Vinyl the way it should be?Running from the police..
No matter what I do..

If I want to get an album i usually first check https://dr.loudness-war.info/, dynamic range db. You can also do it yourself which I found very useful - https://github.com/simon-r/dr14_t.meter

Still I Rise (2021 Full OG Remake vocals slightly louder without Limiter )
There was a conversation I had with [MENTION=1511]enya about this song a while ago and within that conversation I had mentioned how I preferred the sound of the drums of the "OG Later Mixdown/Version 2", whereas his preference was the original OG drums. (Particularly the snare used in that one.) As a mixer and producer/beatmaker I find it kinda interesting how a minor change in one instrument or mix can make a song sound and feel completely different and how it can change one's perception of that song one way or another. (This song or any song in general) So for fun I removed the "OG LM/V2" snare and added in the original OG snare just to see how it would sound in the mix.
"Still I Rise" (OG Full Remake No Limiter with original OG Snare)
It's a hard choice of which one I prefer... I guess there's no problem of liking both lol or just enjoying all the mixes that are out there.Last edited by kool81; 11-23-2021, 06:46 PM.

I definitely like the idea of enjoying all of what's out there. I like the OG drums myself. Hard choice for sure. Love the way you perfected this sound.Last edited by realest2947; 11-23-2021, 08:54 PM.

I could've just copied and pasted a 2 bar loop or just completely "OG Vibed" it, but being that this is my favorite 2Pac song (ever lol) I couldn't let it go down like that.
