Perhaps I missed some of the point. I do know as much, that music is mixed to be "flat" in the sense, that if the music even is perceived as loud (for example, when comparing a theoretical acoustic guitar intro, to the 2 Stratocasters sounding abruptly, along with the bass, drums, and vocals), it's still more or less the same in decibels, whereas the music of old was produced so it had parts that were actually quiet....unless I'm REALLY out to lunch with what I just said. I suppose the short phrase about MP3s seems like a bigger chunk of the article when you read just the first page...I'll check out the rest for sure though.
