<p>My response is simply trying to understand where you are coming from. You've mentioned there are numerous superior options and you would never recommend it.<p>I'm wondering (genuinely!) if you are speaking as an enterprise customer or a free plan, or what.... both for the sake of meaningful discussion and potentially learning about even better options for my own work.<p>As to the article - I fully believe the responsibility lies with site owners to pick and choose how they want to serve their sites. Nobody is forcing them to use Cloudflare on a free plan, or to ignore any analytics it provides and make sure it is serving their customers correctly. Cloudflare is one piece of a delivery solution, and only works as well as you configure it. If your decision for your app is "I'll just use the free plan, and let Cloudflare decide everything for me" then you get what you pay for.<p>If Cloudflare is getting in their way, they can go somewhere else.</p>

<p>I'm curious if you've had experience with their enterprise package?<p>I can understand people's gripes about things on the free/cheap packages, where Cloudflare makes decisions for you, sometimes ones you don't like.<p>But as an enterprise customer, I've never found it to be anything short of fantastic - I can tailor it to behave exactly how I want, and not interfere with my customers.</p>

<p>If they distribute a copy of the source at the same time they send you the binaries (in this case, the car) - then they have no further obligation to distribute the code. They don't have to maintain an online repository, nor worry about who is entitled to what version of the code.<p>Under GPL, you are only entitled to the source of the binaries you are given.</p>

<p>The waveform you are trying to reproduce, though, was mixed and mastered by a guy on studio monitors or similar, and in such a way that it would sound appropriate on the systems his audience is going to use.. or some version thereof.  He's not pushing things to the limit of what his studio setup can produce, because that's going to sound like crap anywhere else.<p>What you listen on to master isn't necessarily what you'd listen on for fun.<p>If you were taking raw recordings of something with mics with really flat response curves, and wanted to play it back as accurately as possible, this would hold - but that's not the case. It's all about what sounds good to you.</p>

<p>What you are hearing is plain old sound - higher frequency, in the ranges we tend to lose first with time and age.
