aw, come on fons, don't be so harsh. this guy invented the loudness

button, that sure warrants some encyclopedic fame:
"A video of the Eagles singing “Hotel California” sounded nice to a

visitor until Audyssey’s hardware director, Andrew Turner, pointed out

that there was no bass when the volume was low. He flicked a switch and

the bass returned, enriching the music with startling effect."
in case anyone's wondering what the blabber on their website is all

about, here is a bullshit-free tool that does exactly the same (although

not fully automatically) and the author even explains to you how it all

works: http://drc-fir.sf.net
