I actually like the sound of over compression used to sound over compressed. Alot of that really trashy french electro is compressed like it is going out of style but I enjoy it. I mean all the time, it is a little too hard to take but once in a while, I dig it.
super compressed
But it just works.

Man, Eric, the compression was terrible in that example you posted. I'm also amazed that stuff like this gets out. It seems like they have no idea how to use a compressor.

Robby i really don't like what you call "crunch" i like slamm, but the crunch you fancy is like putting the track through a 12bit bitcrusher. not my kind of thing. And if you all of above is more or less ok for you, then you are their perfect target audience. :D

i used to make my tracks really loud, the problem is that until a few months ago i didn't know anything about mastering and my mixes were so crunchy, the track submitted to the m4b contest was the peak moment, almost no dynamics. Now i'm more conscious that loud != better. It's not about being purist but when noises appear or there isn't a flow is quite annoying, you don't notice that easily in your own productions but you hopefully will ever have someone to tell you "This is because of this, you suck!"

Objectively overcompressed tracks sound bad. This doesn't mean they are technically poor.

I know you don't know, and I'm not surprised at all. Heard some of your mixes and they are horrible to say the least. I can already see you as a part of the uplifting gay generation. Keep on...you'll become a particle of the infinite mediocrity.

No, "I don't think" it is overcompressed, "I know it is" overcompresssed you ing dirty twat!
Also, try listening to some live concerts (preferably out of trance as genre and from the 90's) it would be a good cure for your ears, for you distorted perception. After the cure you should be able to recognize when something has been compressed to death.

Again, if you knew what overcompression is you shouldn't be asking "what exactly is being criticized". Maybe you know theoretically what it is, but you can't recognize it when there is.
Yes, it sounds "fine" to you cause your ears are ed up and you're a little gay masturbating to Blueman's "masterpieces".
Can't you ing hear that it sounds totaly lifeless and dull? From the very beggining it is raping your ears emanating an enormous pressure?
Ever heard some tracks where you say: "Hey, I can say this one has a good melody, but why it doesn't give me any emotion? Why it doesn't give me shivers?" This is another sign of overcompression. And remember that a track should give you emotions through to the entire journey, not only during the break.

more bumping of old compression threads? someone is seriously trolling this place.

He knows what overcompression does sherlock read the ing thread.

"Objectively" your mom might give good bjs, but chances are they are technically poor.
WTF are you talking about not everyone is going to agree that a track sounds bad just because its overcompressed. There is a degree or extent to which something can be overcompressed, same as the extent to which your mom sucks at giving bjs.

Only thing that is useful from this is the fact that you don't like uplifting.. which actually isn't useful at all.
You're also alluding to the idea that his mixes sound bad soley because of overcompression, and not because of the thousand other things that may be causing it. So again, suck a you miserable fag.

"ing dirty twat"... and then you actually attempt giving him advice lol. You sound like you're 12.
Generally before you give someone advice you shouldn't call them a dirty twat.
Exceptions include your mother when I told her she was a whore and
she only got more turned on. But regular people don't generally like taking advice from insulting douchebags like yourself.

Yeh he'll def try that asap.
Kinda like the fact that if I never got a good blowjob before I wouldn't realize how awful your mother is at giving them.

He was asking for help at better identifying it. A track that is severely overcompressed will have more obvious signs than a track that is just a tad overcompressed and still for the most part sounds
good.
You are painting this like its black and white which its surely not. Certain more minimal styled tracks can get away with more compression while a more elaborate track likely can not. I'm sure he can recognize it in some of the more obvious examples but he's obviously trying to fine tune his ears.
Get a grip you n chode and show your mother how to suck dick properly. Getting tired of that bitch using her hands and I keep telling her DON'T USE YOUR N HANDS YOU WHOREBAG.

Dude did Blueman murder your family or something? I've never seen such hostility directed towards not only a poster for liking a certain genre, but for an artist for producing a certain genre.
You are like the "genre nazi" of TA.
You should go build a crematorium and start throwing uplifting fans into it one by one. Why not show us then what you masturbate to? And please don't post noody pics of your mom as I and the whole forum already has those.

"Totally lifeless and dull" is definitely not an "objective" remark by any chance.
I prefer enormous pressure on my ears same way you prefer enormous pressure on your butthole. Not everyone has the same tastes. Your mom thought I'd like to get ed in the ass with a dildo just because her son prefered it. I merely explained to her "you are crazy bitch" and a good ol back hand to the face fixed her attitude rather quickly.

Nope never. Also learn how to speak proper english grammar. I also have a weird feeling that you are black. Not just through the subtle ebonics but your hostile attitude in general.
Don't fret if you are. You still have the chance of coming off like a respectable person... homedog. But srs, why you frontn? Maybe youd like ky more if he said african jungle trance was his favorite?
I doubt you're really as bitter a person as you come off. I mean your mom always knew never to get out of line with me maybe you take after your father I'm not sure.
Either way, Kysora is a good ing guy. If you're actually going to dislike someone for either 1 of these 2 reasons:
1) Liking uplifting or
2) Not havn da skillz you does
Then quite simply, you are a punk bitch with the mentality of a goldfish. Oh and this thread ended in like 400BC, get a clue.

Mad for Brad
your analogies never make sense
like
mentality of a gold fish ? I mean honestly. Are they known for having good or bad "mentality". You just come across as a bigot that hates goldfish. You need to work on the art of word play.
DJ Robby Rox
Mentality of a goldfish means stupid.
If you didn't understand that chances are you have the mentality of one too.
Also, I don't really care what I come off as to you of all people. Shouldn't you be making threads about how smart & wealthy you are? Or how your dirty ass "forgets" to shower.
Wordplay is for creativing writing courses, journalism, books and literature. If you want wordplay go read a good book don't come to n ta. You're just confirming my bigotry with every response.
Mad for Brad
It just doesn't make sense. Like you are trying to be clever but fail. I mean fish aren't really known to be dumb. Its just a bad analogy.
DJ Robby Rox
Someones intelligence is governed both by how they think (mentality) and also by genetic factors (among other things).
Me saying "mentality" refers to a fundamental problem in thinking. Like if I had to make posts about how much $ I turned down to make people think I was that well off in life, that would definitely be a ed up mentality.
I also never said "intelligence". An intelligent person can behave stupidly, same way a stupid person can behave intelligently. You're trying to get specific just so you can argue over mundane bs details because apparently thats what loners like to do for fun.
Its general enough for 99% of the population to know what I was talking about, if you don't thats your problem. You failed at making any relevant points whatsoever, other than your own bias preferences for language. Its grammatically correct, so get the over it.
edit: since you like to change your posts so often I never said "fish" I said goldfish. A dolphin may be a smart fish, a goldfish is a stupid as they come. They are not self aware, fight with their reflection in glass, and have a memory span shorter than 3 seconds. Again, it doesn't take a genius to understand wtf my point was. But Im not surprised a pretentious douchebag like yourself would actually try arguing over something like that.
(time for M4B to make a prison or meth reference I'm sure)
Mad for Brad
but why a goldfish ? is it because while you were in prison , they called you fish and they remind you of getting ass fondled ?
Honestly, I just don't understand why you picked goldfish.
