Safer? Pfffffffffffft. This was never about protecting the public, it is about training the populace to expect and accept intrusive government action as normal behavior.

Music producers mixing for MP3

December 29, 2007 4:58am

In the studio, sometimes bands would ask to hear the final mix through a car stereo, since they assumed/hoped their music would make it to airplay. We used 2 different "systems" for these requests, a woofer/whizzer cone pair and a 6 x 9 3-way system that was popular at the time. Once in a while we might go back and tweak the EQ settings but usually the final mix was left as is.
I heard an anecdotal story that Aerosmith used this "technique" for some of their work.
Don't know if that was true, and not at all sure with such a wide variety of quality in reproduction available now, that mixing for the format will make any appreciable difference to the average end user. For audiophiles, and anyone with a trained ear it will make some difference, but a "lossless" format like .ape or .flac, among others, would be a far better choice when ripping tracks than trying to overcome the substantial gap between the original recording and the .mp3. In my experience, most users today seem only care about 0-11 volume and whether or not the windows rattle from the bass.
