Bubble and strife

摘要

I've recently been involved in a number of discussions that have sadly been symptomatic of the behaviour of many large organisations. One of these exchanges has been with someone who works at various recording studios and has centred around the ways some releases are processed before they are sold. The best known example of this processing is the way pop and rock material is often grossly level-compressed and clipped. The response to my questioning confirmed my fear that many inside large music companies share an 'in the bubble' mindset, which sees them isolated from mere customers.
