That option actually works great for resurrecting the speech in a movie, but makes all the music utterly flat and boring. With this option on you might as well throw out your expensive speaker setup and use the built in TV speaker.

If only there was a hotkey to toggle it on and off, instead of hidden 4 levels down the touch-and-swipe menu.

Even better would be for the compressor/limiter to detect whether the source is music, dialogue or explosion and adjust its parameters accordingly. Come on Apple, make it smarter!

Or movies could have separate audio tracks and volume sliders for dialog, sound effects and music, like a game from the year 2000.
