What is dynamic range in music?
In: Technology
So the answers you’ve already gotten are great, and correct from a musical angle. However, I see that you’ve used the *Technology* flair, so I’m guessing your question has to do with recorded music.
Music has been trending louder and louder for years now and with less dynamic range. This is a problem because it means your ears don’t get a break from dealing with high volume. Over time, this can lead to hearing loss. Upshot is that you should be careful listening to music at high volumes, such as at concerts. Musicians’ earplugs are good for that — the sound is muted without the distortion that normal earplugs cause.
