I find interesting that all what you say applies very well to music (I was a sound engineer before): there is no pure crisp sound, thus add a bit of reverberation (ie blur). Usually just turn the knob until you hear it, then turn it back half way. Defocus your ears to make sure the compressor is not pumping. what you didn't say is that sometime you want an effect, an then you should turn the knob to it's full position.
- commieneko 14y agoThe real world is noisy and messy. Our senses are evolved to deal with that. When we sense something not noisy or messy, it really stands out. When I first started working with digital imagery, back in the 1970s, it looked very alien and harsh. Of course a lot of it still does to a certain extent, but we've learned to accept it as a kind of visual language. I would expect that most readers of Hacker News can't remember a time when they weren't surrounded by digital images and sounds.
