A 'perfect' iTunes equalizer setting
Authored by: spegis on Sep 02, '04 02:54:06PM

When Public enemy came out They were most likely recording in analog as apposed to tday's almost all digital world of music recording. And if I'm correct, with analog recording at a higher level of volume leads to a distortion effect often used by bands and now simulated by digital filters for effect on songs. THough I could very well be wrong.

This is an old thread, and probably won't be seen, but:

On analog tape and most mixers, pushing the levels hard not only brings in distortion, but by the very nature of distortion, compression/limiting as well.

Plus in the early 90's the Waves L1 was available to quite a lot of studios to do digital mastering and squash the heck out of things.

Most likely when you hear people saying that they recorded it louder, the are confused and mean it was made louder in mastering - which as bakalite mentioned is done via compression/limiting.
