Jakey Styley Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Which songs are the most improved by the new mix? I have no opinion on this yet - still listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 There's no new mix apart from NR. Just a more compressed mastering... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I think Dust N' Bones and LALD sound great to me. I mean they all do but in those two I can hear more than I could before. You can identify shit that was more buried in the past. Backing vocals for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StrangerInThisTown Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) When you ever feel useless in life, just remember someone actually sat down and remastered My World for better sound quality.

Gem Archer Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 the snare drum is really loud now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggers Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Subtle difference overall, a little clearer with a tiny bit more high end. To regular listeners it will pretty much sound exactly the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhazUp Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 They are more compressed so you can potentially hear "more detail" at lower volumes because everything frequency-wise is being pushed more to the forefront because of that Honestly though, that can just mean it sounding a bit more cramped and induce ear fatigue when played louder - comparing a couple choice tunes with the original CDs, the originals are more dynamic and have just as much detail while played at a decent volume. Honestly the compression completely negates the potential benefits you can get from a new tape transfer and new EQing. For me I am sticking with the originals across the board 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I am sticking with the originals across the board Thanks for elaborating on the technical side. I guess that is exactly what it is, and what my problem with the remasters is;. I just mentioned in another thread that I think somehow the remasters are more "clean" - to listen to, but somehow also more difficult as they lack warmth and energy to me.

James Bond Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It does seem to make November Rain really standout as a result against the other songs. I really wish that, in addition to the remastered tunes, that all the remixed ones were included alongside them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like NR was the only one that was actually "remixed" because it had to be due to the orchestra.

That's what I mean - by default, November Rain is the standout track since it's the only remix. The others don't really seem all that different under general listening. I would have loved to have heard the rejected remixes for all the tracks for something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 None. They're dynamically crushed (loudness wars). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttu69 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Individual album remasters are 24bit/96khz but the Super Deluxe Edition is 48khz/24bit, wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The mastering is compressed so it's totally pointless to get high res versions. CD quality is more than enough. But for the main albums, you're better off with the old mastering or the MFSL gold discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
