Arny's analogy is interesting, but, surprise, surprise, he completely
misses the point.

What "point"?

Neither does he even notice the 2lb of potatoes
added to his 5lb (CD) bag, at the request of his fellow consumers:-)

You've been asked time after time for evidence that these 2lb of potatoes
is
there "at the request of his fellow consumers", yet signally failed to do
so.

David, You must get out of that comfy chair and do your
own research, Earlier this month I suggested a number
of organisatiuons to whom you could turn for info. Did
you do so?


You know damn well that such evidence doesn't exist, which is why you are
content to make absurd comments such as the above. And as it doesn't exist
I'm not going to be able to find it, am I? You are the one making the
claim - put up or admit you are tallking nonesense.


So I'm asking again, where is the evidence?


Talk to record buyers about their expectations.

And just how do you expect me to do that? Pay for a market research company
to do a survey for me?

Speak
with the PR manager from your favourite record label.

I don't have a "favorite record label". And you are the one *in* the
industry with the contacts. So if anybody is able to find out it's you. Your
refusal to do so is the clearest proof yet that you *know* there is no
evidence that record buyers prefer over-compressed records.

I wouold be *far* easier, and less expensive also to make
a CD prerpro master which an exact clone of the studio
original, with no further changes.

Ask yourself why this is not done.

I'm asking you. My guess is that producers make the records to please their
bosses, or to meet industry expectations, or as part of some idiotic
loudness "war" with other producers. But if I'm right is anybody in the
industry going to admit it? Do pigs fly?

David.
