  • And I feel this is an escalating problem. Sound mixing is generally horrible in both games and movies/TV. Unless you blow out your speakers during the higher peaks, you’ve got no chance of hearing dialogue.

    Does anyone have any clue to why this is such a well-spread phenomenon? Why is it like this? I mean, I get it (kinda) at a cinema, but I think it’s way overplayed there as well.





  • The only thing I can think of would be Roon. Some drawbacks though. It’s proprietary and it’s a paid service. It’s very, very good for playing and streaming local music though. They put a lot of work in to their metadata, and do have recommendations in place. You can also get artists/songs/albums like this. There’s no curated lists yet, but AFAIK it’s in the pipeline.

    I use it for all my local music. Both at-home and outside streaming work great. There’s still some work for them to do with tagging more obscure styles correctly, like Future funk.
