One of these things is not like the others.
I can't tell if you're trolling here, or if you legitimately don't know much about audio engineering, because Dubstep (and electronic music in general) is probably the most aggressively compressed and limited genre of music out there.
If you actually do feel that Dubstep has a lot of dynamics, then you're misattributing the lack of dynamic range in a lot of modern music to audio engineering. What you're really bothered by is the songwriting and musicianship, not the engineering or compression.
- chillingeffect 11y agoheh no, sorry, I didn't meean to sound like i'm trolling - it is extra-ironic, b/c yes dubstep uses compression a lot, but at the same time, a lot of the dubstep I've heard uses silence judiciously to create huge amounts of contrast - in between the speaker-shreddingly compressed passages. Both house music and dnb IME tend to employ quiet as well to make the loud seem louder. It's mostly just rock and some americana these days on the radio that gets to me. Actually country is one of the most egregious genres, too. Sounds totally flat like AM radio.
