(broadcast) Compression...gotta love/hate it.

In the Radio section of the sticky here, I've recently added a link to the well-known Bob Orban / Frank Foti / Bob Katz article which clearly shows what happens on-air in regards to compression. That article has somehow escaped me thus far (although I have the Katz book right here on the shelf).... A must read for everyone interested in radio!
