And I agree, all music needs to be dynamic, but; you can have dynamic music that is also loud. It won't be AS dynamic, but if you want a mix to compete with commercial mixes, the unfortunate reality is - it needs to be loud.
Loud AND dynamic? How? They are mutually exclusive things at this point.

Compete with what? Where? This is a concept that gets parroted ad nauseum but I don't think it holds up in reality. Radio already compresses the shit of it in the broadcast chain. In a playlist? iTtunes does that for you if yuou want that. In a cd player? Who cares? the listener will adjust the volume to their liking anyway.

The idea that it has to be loud to "compete" is bunk IMO and really just perpetuates a concept that never made sense to begin with
