Advantage of tape over MD?

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.

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. 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* 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. 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: http://www.mykec.com/mykec/images/20...ey_Smoking.png You seem to be the lone voice in the wilderness saying that we haven't yet begun to sufficiently homogenize and distort it. 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. It's in the headers of these messages from you 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 Myke -- -================================- Windows...It's rebootylicious!!! -================================- |
