Default Advantage of tape over MD?

Right in front of your eyes! It shows absolutely that you are
compressing the original. If you can't see it you really don't know
what you are looking for.


Yeah, I believe I'm on record as having stated there is some slight
*limiting* going on there to avoid clipping. Note however too that this
is the loudest song on the CD. All other songs would not suffer from
any limiting at all because of this +5dB boost in RMS level.

5 or so peaks being slightly limited in a single WAV does not offset the
advantages of boosting the average RMS level of the entire file. It is
a compromise I am perfectly willing to accept.
