Don't blame the engineers, they usually do the best they can, it's mostly down to musicians, producers and record company execs...

Well, at least someone must be responsible for this mess.

pinkmouse,
if ever someone invents a digitally programmable rifle sight the word "executive", record company or anything, should be hardwired in.

What cd?
I was listening to Ray Charles recent duets disk and thinking that they did a great job with the sound quality but on some songs I easily hear digital clipping.
I guess from studio to production you only need one a**hole to ruin things.

Jean Michel Jarre

Used to listen to him for hours on end.

What cd?

David Bowie - BBC Radio Theater London 2000

Unfortunately many more examples are out there.
Here's a screenshot of the actual clipping. Note that clipping occurs just below 0dBFS. This album has thus been hard limited to the maximum.
