if a studio monitor has a flat frequency response at different levels 86dB vs 96dB, that would indicate that it should be transparent to compression settings, shouldn’t it?This is typical a fairly common response at ASR used to dismiss listening.
In those comments I certainly understand the sentiment along the lines of “I have no idea how to set compression on Neumanns”.
What measurements will determine the extent to which a studio monitor can help you identify clearly the differences in compression settings?
I guess I also don’t understand the question exactly as I’m a newbie at this stuff, but I listen to songs and adjust compression for them based on several different monitors/speakers as that difference (laptop speakers vs 3way floor standers and subs) is far trickier to balance in terms of compression than within any one monitor, especially at the level of Neuman.
