Apologies for bluntness, I guess, but that's the stupidest, most ignorant and least informed comment I've seen on this thread so far.
Gee, you beat me to it.
You are right, and I apologize.
Ok.
Why don't you consider adding your age and location so we have a better idea what we're dealing with (or to avoid dealing with), if you're going to continue to contribute to the conversations here.
Click your name in the banner and "account details" in the drop-down to add something. It's not hard. Many of us have figured it out already.
They obviously do care and try hard. But the truth of the matter is that regardless of their intentions, most recordings sound like garbage, at least to me.
I don't listen to "most recordings", so, much of the problem that I know is there just passes me by. If I don't find the compositions of interest, for me, it would be like complaining about the quality of a tube of 70% lean hamburger at the Dollar Store.
It's rare when a recording I would otherwise care for is "overmastered", but it does occur.
I'll have to call out Al Di Meola and dump some demerits upon him for recent works that are crushed - and he was in the control room after the performance. That's all I remember being specifically disappointed with at the moment.
