The show interviewed some Metallica fans and also Mastering Engineer Ian Shepherd [Visit Blog]

Joel and Ian dicussed the fundamental problems on the Death Magnetic CD and how it affects the music when played, and why this is done on the CD and not on the version of the album downloaded via the Guitar Hero III Game on the Playstation 3 & XBox 360 consoles, including a direct comparison between the CD version and the GHIII version.

Justice For Audio would like to thank Joel for picking up on the issue and contacting us prior to the programme looking for the views of real metallica fans about the CD.

If you agree that this new ‘exciting’ sound is ruining music, please sign the petition to re-mix and master Death Magnetic to sound like decent music and not an earful of crackle & distortion.

This is where music is being excessively compressed or “squashed” in terms of loudness so that a song is as loud as possible the entire way through.
