Yes, and I love it! Finally, the volume knob control was pulled from producers all about gimmicks to push their productions.
There are still gimmicks, but at least they do not include music so badly clipped as to be unlistenable... hint: go get the DVD or Blu-Ray release of whatever it is and you are likely to enjoy a not clipped album.
It is all about maximizing the overall sonic impact the music is capable of. Now when levels are sane, song elements well differentiated and equalized such that no or only a minor range of frequencies are crushed due to many sounds all competing for them, it will sound, full, great and not tiring!
Thanks audio industry. Many ears appreciate what was done.
I expected a moderate amount of heat directed at my comment.
No worries. I've friends in various industries doing production who hate the change.
I like it, of course. Losing the volume knob is a direct result of the many abuses.
