I just stumbled across a great article on the "louder is better" theme.
It uses a great example, with analysis and comparisons.

It may be helpful to include some of this in the Jamin docs also.

Hi,
Maybe some folks on this list have insites into the
following conversation between Steve and myself. I
need all the help I can get. The last three paragraphs
are a topic for which I am woefully ignorant.

for adding to the output stage of JAMin.
There are some soft clip LADSPA plugins, but I The thing is my client has requested a %20
increase
in
volume across the entire album. The first question
is
does he know what he's asking for. Well, he probably
has a fair enough idea. He has compared the old
master
with stylistically similar million dollar masters
and
concluded the percentage to increase.
If anyone here has tricks for achieving gain, I need
to hear about them. My bag ain't got alot in it. I
basically cut dominant frequency either with
compression or equalization and with the leveled off
floor, achieve gain possible; input, compressor
makeup, limiter input, boost and output. Of course
then it's just a matter of tweaking ratios,
thresholds, etc.
The trade off in general is less dynamics and more
distortion with several deciables of increased
volume.
I love the work but this job is like a No Rules Cage
Match. I might eventually win the title but it's a
good thing I brought lunch and a first aid kit.

I've heard that you can ignore peaks that
only go
over 0dB for less than a
millisecond, but I've not experimented with it.
If that's the case, then I might have this job in
the
bag. I'm watching overloads at the input channels of
my mixer flicker on and off. I've been trying very
hard to have absolutely zero overload indications.
Any idea how to test this potential point of
flexibility or how to push this limit? What am I
watching for and how do I watch for it? This seems
like a very interesting area of study. I've gotta do
a
dirt knap and then maybe google about or something.
