Great Find thanks!

Re: Guns ‘N Roses: Dynamics and quality win the Loudness Wars
Totally agree. Talking about the actual 'loudness' & 'dynamic' sound of CD, it's fucking perfect.
It's loud right up to the point it becomes too loud, and it stops. Alot of bands these days want it so loud, the speakers can't even handle it, and it distorts the song. GN'R took it right up to that point, before crossing the line. So you get a massive boasting sound, but without the distortion.

Great post, very interesting to hear Bob Ludwig's opinion. I read on another board somewhere that a lot of the engineers involved in mastering and the "loudness" wars hate it, but are pressured by labels and producers.
Another album mastered loud is "californication" . I'm pretty thrilled Axl didn't do it.
Re: Guns ‘N Roses: Dynamics and quality win the Loudness Wars
I have heard that Chillis album, never noticed distortion though.
I always wondered about that distortion at the end of Better, was really suprised its on the album. I just figured beforehand, its because its a demo and will be removed on the final cut.
