What a revelation coming from you that the music is compressed. I don't
think all stations do this to the extent that you supposedly do it.



The average station appears to compress everything to within a very small
dynamic range. Many as little as 6dB.

Wow, that's not much! I don't think I would want to listen to that. It
would wear me down in short order.

Brenda Anne is correct on this. Event he talk stations you listen to are
processed to about the same standard.

When you look at ANY station's modulation monitor, the excursion range
seldom goes below 80% to 85% and is clipped hard at 100%.

Talk radio does not need a large dynamic range but 6 dB seems to small.
It seems to me that the sound levels vary more than 4 X.
