What's wrong with this picture?????

That it's only your own assessment of your remastering.
Mastering professionals and their clients have ears that
appreciate the nuances that dynamics give to music. Your
removal of them is not generally acknowledged as
improvement. Quite the contrary. It is the growing
consensus among such professionals that dynamics removal for
the sake of broadcast loudness has gone over the top in
recent years and there is a growing movement to stop that
nonsense. You seem to be the lone voice in the wilderness
saying that we haven't yet begun to sufficiently homogenize
and distort it.

Where do you do the most of your listening?


What you see in that screenshot isn't a "mustagot lucky" one-time
accident either. This is yet another high-profile example of what I
experience on a daily basis with nearly every single one of my "older",
unremastered CDs.

Looking at sound is like dancing about architecture.

BTW, is rec.audio a real group? It's in the headers of
these messages from you but bounces from my news server
which is a pretty complete one.

And obviously Capitol's assessment of their remastering as well.

Have you seen the screenshot? It's painfully obvious to see whose
version of "Dark Side" has *less dynamic range*. And I'll give you a
hint: it isn't *mine*

Good! I'm in agreement with them. Why you're choosing to inform *me*
of this is where you're losing me. Your response implies that you
believe I've somehow "removed dynamics" from MFSL's original WAV.
Please tell me how you are able to arrive sensibly at this conclusion
after having viewed the following screenshot:

I believe I am on record (upthread) as having said when I looked and saw
how severely *clipped* were the peaks during the loudest passages of
"Long View" from Green Day's "Dookie" CD, I nearly puked. And from that
you infer that I am a lone voice in the wilderness? Hmmm... scratches
head and moves on to the next point

Where do you do the most of your listening?

Wherever I happen to be at nearly any given moment. I carry my music
with me nearly everywhere I go.

Looking at sound is like dancing about architecture.

I like that, however, looking at my screenshot reveals that it is MFSL's
original WAV and not Lord Hasenpfeffer's digital remastered edition that
possesses the *least* dynamic range.

BTW, is rec.audio a real group?

No.

Yes, it has been. But I don't think it's there anymore.

but bounces from my news server

Yes, it should have.

which is a pretty complete one.

cheers and applause
