Big-name CD manufacturers are distorting sounds to make them seem louder. Sound quality suffers. Here is a great video showing you want compression does to the sound waves and how it makes the audio sound. When I was at school we had a guest speak come and tell us about mixing and mastering music. He played us a song and asked us how we liked it. He then played around on his computer and played us the same song again. He then asked which one we liked better. We all answered the second take and why. He kind of laughs at us and then told us that he only raised the volume a few dB and that was the only change he made. It is true that audio does sound better louder, but could something be too loud?
