That's all fine and dandy, provided they hadn't been 'weaponised' for
use in "The Loudness War" campaigns that were (and still are?) being
conducted by "The Pop Industry". Many a good recording suffered the
effects of the extreme levels of compression made possible by DSP when
remastered for re-release on CD. :-(

Yes. It's something many choose to ignore. You almost never hear the
master tape as it left the studio. That goes through a different mastering
process for vinyl and CD and maybe even for downloads. And most you hear
via a broadcast has been processed too.
