What is the volume monster you ask? The volume monster is a tall, hairy monster that turns up your volume when your not looking. No, actually the volume monster is a term we use at digital street studio. It's used to describe the music industry's obsession with volume. If you compare a recording form the 70's to what is being produced today, the difference is astonishing! Better yet, just go back 10 years and compare. Yes, with technology comes advancements. Today's standards are pushing volumes to new levels. Ridiculous levels! Just because we can, does not mean we should? Getting a lot of volume from you final master is great! Getting a lot of volume from your final master while sacraficing the tone, not so good. My point, when you record your next project or that next big hit, don't get distracted by.........The Volume Monster.
