To clarify: dynamics in music means the range from very soft/quiet to very loud, or from pianissimo to sforzando, or from ppppp to fffff, etc.. To say that Sound Check or any other routine "scales the volume" so that everything plays at the same relative volume means that it compresses the dynamic range, or that the resulting "same volume music" has a very limited dynamic range. It has nothing to do with compression schemes, such as that used in mp3.
