“When it’s mixed, it’s finished. If you’re doing a mix, why should you send it to someone else to change the mix? Of course, today what’s happening is everybody is compressing. A lot of music today sounds so compressed— you get tired. There are often no dynamics. Many people say the ECM recordings sound so soft, because they are not as compressed as other [recordings]. They still have some dynamics. There’s not so much difference between a very compressed mix, when you convert it to an MP3. But if you have dynamics in the music then the MP3 will sound much worse. But, of course, now people listen to music on their mobile phones and it needs to be compressed. That’s how it is.”
