Hooboy. Where do I even start with this?

And just wait until they find out that compressor/limiters came about for reasons other than shaping the dynamics of music. If you're not slammed against the wall, your AM broadcast signal isn't going far.

Why the snark? Who expects high quality audio from AM radio?

i didn't read that as snark. they're just saying compressors were/are used to maximize the broadcast range of a source over AM radio. without them, the broadcast range is shorter, which means fewer people hear the ads on the radio show, which means fewer dollars for the radio station producing or broadcasting the show.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the mastering of physical media, and is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Umm... did y'all not have music class in elementary school?

I never had a music class at any point in school in California.

It exists in some California schools, but this is one of those things that exists because in some districts the parents setup a 501(c)3 whose only job is to fill the gap left by Prop 13 and Prop 98. My kid's had it every year, but in kinder it was a parent volunteer teaching it and in 1st/2nd the music teacher was entirely funded out of parent donations.

Literally everyone in my country did, and nobody knows theory except a subset of musicians, not even all of them. Thus highlighting my point that the theory is inadequate, subjective, and immature in nature.

Whatever else music theory is, "immature" isn't one of them.

Western music theory has evolved over literally thousands of years. You can put a very rough start of it to Pythagoras, around 550BCe ish, which gives us 2,500 years of evolution and refinement.

But even if you want to start with the popularity and adoption of the major scale, that was around 1500CE ish, which gives us a solid 500 years. It handles many, many corner cases quite gracefully.

It undoubtedly has its quirks, but any notational system for this will also have its quirks (cf, the difference between systems of intonation). There is just no way around it.

That doesn't highlight anything except the tautology that music theory isn't taught in general education

This is great. I've been wondering about these for decades.

This sounds like a great thing for people that beat their domestic partners. Make it harder for their victims to escape.

But this is for the sake of the children safety... And terrorism... Whatever you want to have it wrapped in

ANGH as long as marketing people are allowed to control the narrative.

At least it's not the IPv8 guy again.

"everybody wins"

Remember when nvidia asked us to stop calling them enron because unlike enron they actually admit to doing all the things enron did so it's not illegal?

While I don't do the radio part of radio, I actually have a proper radio automation setup at home running into an icecast server for my own in-house use. And if you really want it to feel right, spend some money getting some imaging done or buy some sweeper sound effects libraries and have fun with it.
