JRiver MC27 And Again On Dynamic Range ~ But The AFA Yard Was Full 25May21

I don't know when it entered the potential tag items for tracks, but the dynamic range of every track can be claimed on publication, and can be measured. JRiver (at least MC27) includes these in the tag list and they are filled by their integrated Audio Analysis tool. Here are some very new and some old tag lists including publication of dynamic range specs ~ cool. Who's the best and eschews loudness? Amazing Rhythm Aces do very well and others less so. I've railed on this simple measure of music from time to time... discerning quiet to loud, something a human ear can sense well, is too often now overridden by mixing engineers to obtain a continuously "loud" offer. Bullshit. Just like dynamics, frequency response and other measurable attributes of a track, DR counts considerably. And I do not understand why many modern offers ignore this - but maybe I do.

We had a yard-full of gawkers disappointed in the cloud cover but the graduating kids from AFA got plenty of show. Thunderbirds dowsed the field and flew missing man...
