Dynamic Range Database - Zeppelin levels

Someone with way too much time on their hands has created a Dynamic Range Database for artists' recorded material.

The DR different between the latest Zep remasters and the previous ones is concerning, as they clearly are heading into the "bad" zone.

However, if you look at the Rolling Stones Virgin Records remastered CDs and the recent Universal remasters the difference is alarming.

Cheers,

I actually enjoy his website. Certainly a labor of love and if you're a true music fan and are looking for the SQ you prefer in an album this is the place to look. In the end it's all subjective, but I do reference his site 3-4 times a month. I wish he would update it with more of the crappy vinyl being put out today. A lot of vinyl is made using the standard digital master and just transferred to vinyl, like ripping a CD on your PC.

It is a good site, just goes to show the damage that the loudness wars caused.
