http://www.lehmannaudio.com For our second podcast episode we were talking at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cologne with mastering and sound engineer Friedemann Tischmeyer from California about the change in the dynamic range during the past years and its impact on our listening behaviour. Friedemann Tischmeyer is both an authority when it comes to mastering and in the recording studio. The native of Germany lives in Santa Cruz (USA) where he runs his own studio. His instruction videos on DVD and his mastering book were sold worldwide in very high numbers. Today he is using his excellent international reputation to spotlight the loss of dynamics in music and the negative effects on our health resulting thereof. So for visualising this change, together with his partners he developed a tool called the DR meter. The dynamics, i.e. the gap between soft and loud passages of a piece, is for musicians one of the crucial artistic means of expression. However, these days music has no more contrasts, everything is hyper-compressed to one level. This is because in the music business the notion still survives that one can sell more records which are very tight and loud like e.g. in promotion. Yet according to the latest scientific research findings dynamic music is going to sell much better because it doesn't burden the listening perception that much and offers relaxation pauses for the auricular nerves.
