Dear Bill,

You clearly missed the episode of "The Archers" where a waiter,
attempting to chat-up one of the younger regulars, gave the explanation
for loud music in pubs and clubs.

If it's quiet, people buy a pint and chat. If it's loud, they can't
chat so drink up and buy another pint.

This was not in "The Bull" I hasten to add.

Paul DS.

Surely the whole point that Bill is trying to make is that musicians
record music to be played back in the same way, not to be misrepresent
ed by boosting the bass. I suspect that very amall proportion is
catually recorded with grossly exaggerated bass!
