A friend sent my a 45 rip of an early AC/DC song. It had the "original" singer. Was told he wasn't a very good singer. I listen, and what I hear is a poor stereo mix (low vocals)!! Give the singer a break! Another burger flipping "engineer".
Same friend keeps me up to date with "remastered" "Pop" material, like Fleetwood Mac. It is obvious session tapes were remixed. I call that process "genuine remastering"! I fabricated the opened here JUST to make the song different (for site), but sound is VERY nice. No brickwalling either (hello KMA!).... http://www.angelfire.com/empire/abpsp/images/holdme.mp3 Phil Collins, same thing, for Face Value album, I think it's titled, impressive sound. DAW in action, no doubt, for analog recordings. I knew it was just a matter of time! --- I wanted something better than what I previously mixed from 12 tracks, I like this, more stereo effects. Wanted to give the fine guitarist a change to show-off his solo talent (ending)!... http://www.angelfire.com/empire/abps...donloosely.mp3 Either A&M Records published garbage sound (song above), or I'm a genius, able to remix better than the, ahem, pro engineers. I sent this to WMGK-FM and WMMR-FM (Mark (participant) knows them) to see if they'll play my rendition. I think 38 Special deserves the superior sound that I'm best known for! I mean, Classic Rock radio always used to play album versions, but not in this case for this song. Friend in CA didn't even know there was an album version! That's all my investigative reporting for today! ![]() Jack |

You peeps are like Myna birds, you just repeat and repeat whatever you are told. People mix music tracks, and someone puts them on media. Nothing more. But yet, it sometime takes a half dozen different people to "remaster" the same old tape!! No wonder why audio CDs gained a poor reputation, due to the "experts" involved! Right. Fleetwood Mac initially sounded like CRAP on CD. Now, that someone remixed the session tapes, genuine remastering, the sound is truly amazing! Jack |

" Remix = To change relation between individual instrumental/vocal tracks in a song, different levels relative to each other. Also, to substitute one instrumental or vocal track for another, or eliminate some elements altogether. Applying processing such as EQ, etc to individual tracks. Remaster = To apply GLOBAL processing to an approved as finished two(or more) channel stereo or surround song or soundtrack. Processing includes tonal, dynamic, temporal, and spatial, as well as overall speed/tempo of the product. Some songs and albums are remixed, some are remastered, and some have both done to them. Example: Adding a sax solo to the bridge of a song, changing the pan pot locations of song elements, or raising or lowering the levels of vocals in it, is remixing. Re-EQing a dull master tape of a song or album for more treble, or making changes to the dynamics, speed, or overall level, is remastering. |

Listen to Smoke On The Water (Deep Purple) remixed and enhanced, you finally get to hear what was actually recorded, non-edited. Example: Adding a sax solo to the bridge of a song, changing the pan pot locations of song elements, or raising or lowering the levels of vocals in it, is remixing. - Remixing, from the trend I see, has nothing to do with remixing multi-tracks, but more or less taking past material and adding something new to it. Maybe that's what you mean. -- People don't make (stereo) Master tapes for no good reason. The more they are accessed, the more you destroy the audio, and tape noise becomes, sometimes, very evident. But, if multi-tracks are still available, you can rid that tape noise by remixing. Believe this is what Audiophiles like, because you gain the GREATEST dynamic range. -- You may remember the song, Turn Down Day, by The Cyrkle. I found it on a Sony (3) CD set. When it came to a particular portion of the song, something struck me, as what I heard should not be there! In other words, someone did remix the song, but what was once edited out (drum riff) was now left in! I agreed, it did sound flat with it left in. Re-EQing a dull master tape of a song or album for more treble, or making changes to the dynamics, speed, or overall level, is remastering. - So, you say, remastering requires the use of ANOTHER tape to store content, adding even more noise? Or maybe saved on DAT? Not sure, no one ever writes about these Remastering processes. Thanks. Jack |

Surely you are joking? There are entire web pages devoted to the subject of remasters, and the process of remastering. Again, it is a global process applied to finished and previously released songs or entire albums. |

JackA:
Remixing can mean a new mix created from existing tracks, again with different processing applied, different levels, and/or addition of new tracks or subtraction of tracks. Remixes are on a song-by-song basis. |

Independent (Real Gone Music) issued Mono single versions, ripped from vinyl. Decades later, the "albums" surface on CD sounding significantly better, from Japan, on HQ media. Granted, I wasn't [real] happy with the overall sound, so I corrected a few things. I can't expect everyone to know how recorded music should sound!!... http://www.angelfire.com/empire/abps...ovingthing.mp3 Thank you for your overwhelming support!! Jack |
