I really REALLY hate some of the recordings of today.
 
Therefore I am a fan of the website http://www.dynamicrange.de/
 
If you dislike what the mixer has made than maybe this is a solution and it is free, but you can always donate of course.
 
It is called ReLife. http://www.terrywest.nl/utils.html
 

 
It is made by Terry West and he says the following.
 
Bring back life to a heavy clipped audiofile.
Revolutionary way to recover transients and lost peaks.
 

1. Bypass button.
2. Postgain (neg/pos).
3. Pre Cleaning stage.
4. Three peak restore algos.
5. In, recover and out meters.
6. Stereo & mono versions.
7. Realtime processing or offline.

 
I tested it in Foobar2000 and I see amazing results. The only album so far I cannot improve is Kelly Clarkson Breakaway. So it does not work always.
 
Hope to hear of it works out

Sounds fascinating, I need to go test this out. Although I haven't got much music where I feel I really have to apply this it's still fascinating to see what it actually does.
