for the bands I enjoy, dynamic range is the key. I like the ebb and flow of the sounds. I don't want the Old Joe to be as loud as the Chilly either through the PA or on my tape through the soft limit. That is an issue I am dealing with right now on a conversion project someone sent me. Sure, its nice that nothing clips, but the .wav files look like blocks with everything being of very similar volume. Its a nice feature, but one that I feel can be abused.
