Sounds like the dude who took a year and a half to remix The Eagles songs, that I have yet to hear any remixing.

If the original mix was good, any improvement will only be incremental.
A bit more attack on the drums, smoother sustains and fades, clearer
vocals and instruments by using modern processing rather than the older
stuff. That sort of thing. You may only realise the difference when your
ears get less tired after prolonged listening at high levels.

The latest Beatles remixes sound exactly like the original mono mixes
when you play them in isolation, apart from being stereo, but if you A-B
them, the new ones sound better even when summed to mono.

But, to be fair, it's best to check with both headphones and speakers.


That's all you need to do when you are doing it as a hobby for your own
consumption, but when you are being paid for it, it needs to sound as
good as possible on all systems from the tiny speakers in cheap earbuds
to the ultimate high end hifi systems favoured by audiophools, via the
stupidy bass heavy systems in discos and many cars, if that's your target.
