Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I think (at least) for distorted guitars its the amount of high-frequencies
that counts to our ears. Hi,
I won't jump into this fray of art vs. technique, as its just too dicey.
I agree with you, Fons, on the distortion introduced by limiting; but do
you have any theory as to why most people actually seem to like it? My
experience is that people seem to feel lightly compressed, open mixes
are weak, but will take to a "brutalised" mix enthusiastically. Do you
have a theory? Also, aren't we a bit of a slave to whatever people
happen to like, however much we might feel it is inferior?
Cheers,

I wonder if it is simply the fact that the distortion gives us a clue that
the equipment is working as hard as it can. I've noticed that Fuzz on a
guitar seems to make it sound louder than a clean signal that is actually
a far higher amplitude. More 'width' seems to outweigh more 'height'.
