Bull.
Whenever your surfing the net (Youtube to be specific), you turn the window up all the way and adjust the speaker accordingly. You get all the sound, but you can regulate the levels you hear on your own volume controls. In older recordings, you cranked it up and the mixer adjusted the, well mixing.
Now they play as quiet and humanly possible, turn up the condenser and boost it in the mixdown. Just like Biblo put it:
