Good song, but why do you (like 90% of all engineer and producers these days) compress your music into oblivion? When you learned how to master recordings, were you taught that making everything louder, then compressing things to just below the noise ceiling made things sound better? Why don't people understand that dynamic range = better music? Mastering is something that's been done in popular music for ages now, mainly for consistency - people don't want to fiddle with volume levels every time they change the song, and neither do radio stations for that matter. That's why mastered songs are also considered "radio-ready". If your song sounds "weak" compared to the last one, people will lose interest, without even realizing why(!). It would be naive to disregard these things and try to promote more dynamic range in music - it's not gonna happen. At least not in Pop and Rock. Moreover, mastering does not entirely eliminate dynamic range. And finally, it does not take away the songwriter's ability to create lows and highs within a song - which is the main advantage of broad dynamic range. If you enjoy the broader dynamics, there's plenty of classical music that does not have any compression on it whatsoever. | ||

The whole introduction is bad. Sounds like teen pop rock mediocrity with high pitch voice. TSL3 hand draw portraits were way better. | ||

Yeah I'm pretty sure I know what dynamic range is. Humans dislike inconsistency in volume by nature, it is one of the fears we are born with - the other is the fear of falling. | ||
