Compression on 103.7

What I find so interesting about 103.7 about their high compression rates.

After a while I find it very fatiguing. I was listening to Phil Hendrie tonight and the attacks and releases were very hard.

I think on KFI and KLAC they don't run a lot of compression if any at all.
 
I doubt that anybody other than us radio techno-geeks would even notice or care about compression, unless it was really bad. Not sure what you mean by "attack" and "release." These are engineering terms that I have been familiar with, but never knew what they meant.
Can you explain?

Hi,

Short form --
If you go from quiet to high volume, the time the compressor takes to level the volume is attack
If you go from high volume to quiet, the time the compressor takes to level the volume is release.

I think he means that their audio compressor is pumping. Lee probably hasn't reset the processing from the rock 'n roll preset the Planet was using.

They need an Omnia! ;)

Sometimes when you run compression too high it can lead to listening fatigue...

David????

Now your just making stuff up, that's not true.
you can never have enough compression, reverb or jingles!

<font size="2">That's</font> <font size="5">correct: never</font> <font size="3">too much</font> <font size="1">Compression</font> <font size="6">or expansion</font>
 
And what does that have to do with San Diego radio broadcasting? Mmmmm?

Easy, it's about KPL- I mean, KSCF's compression being inappropriate. And last time I checked, that station was in San Diego...
