Re: Stretching the dynamic range down to gain dynamics

In my opinion, artificially "stretching" the dynamic range will do more harm than good. I'm strongly minded to agree - and I digitized a lot of vinyl LPs and 45s 8-) I prefer to retain the original dynamic range that the recording engineers laid down (mostly they do a great job) . Apart f...
