You need better monitors. The distortion that results from this is
really offensive with decent monitoring. The effect is very, very
unmusical.
The lack of quiet parts is mostly cause by overcompression. The overlimiting
that causes flattopping is a second problem (but really a second part of
the same fundamental issue). And yes, they really do sound harsh if you
listen carefully.. the thing is that they sound universally harsh throughout,
so it's not as if you are hearing an undistorted section compared with a
distorted section, like you do when you clip peaks on recording.

He uses Mackie HR 824's. Should we be able to hear it with those?
