This is meant to piss off me in particular. Something being obnoxiously loud is mostly a side effect of other stuff that is way too quiet requiring you to turn up the volume to hear it at a normal level. Unless you’re mastering specifically for theaters your dynamic range should not be ’ barely audible’ to ‘hearing loss’ it should be ‘softer’ to ‘louder’.
If compressors were as ubiquitous as volume controls instead of being a moderate pain in the ass to get working on most things this wouldn’t be a problem that needs a bandaid solution.
