Clipping is like anything else ... if it sounds bad it is bad. The difference from eq is maybe DA quality, but it's not so hard to judge that in the studio. Californication, Bowie's Reality and Audioslave I in the choruses sound awful here too. They sound better in the car, so that's taste again.
I'm not denying there is "palletable on a basic level" stuff out there. But I do think as ME's you guys should be not be hoping that most of your listeners cannot hear the damage that is being done.
I appreciate it's a tricky situation because if you don't do it, someone else will.
I just wonder where it will end.
