| 1464902 | 2019-11-11 23:04:00 | I have been listening to some 1960s CDs on YouTube and they all say "Remastered 2009" and I was wondering, what do they do when they remaster?:confused: | Roscoe (6288) | ||
| 1464903 | 2019-11-11 23:47:00 | Basic version means they have changed the quality /output in various places. one explanation is linked HERE (www.quora.com) If you play the original back to back with remastered you will hear the differences. Sometimes a song sounds better remastered sometimes they make a complete stuff up of it and ruin it. |

Remastered in relation to these recordings relates to digitalising the sounds produced in the original recording. The pick up heads on the old turntable decks, used a stylus that picked up the complex vibrations cut in the vinyl track and converted them into an electrical signal that was amplified, and output to a loud speaker. The CD was an invention of the 1980s, prior to that all recordings were vinyl or on magnetic tape, now the life of CDs may be starting to have its days numbered. Many modern cars no longer feature a CD player in the in car entertainment system. |

| 1464906 | 2019-11-13 21:56:00 | Remix is when they go back to the original tapes , and change the 'mix' of the instruments and completely change the sound of the song Good example is when Paul McArtney remixed the Let It Be album in 2003, as he didnt like Phil Spectors production & mix . So he remixed it to give the sound a more raw less processed sound Remaster can be marketing BS . I remember one remaster of one of my Fav bands records . It was so bad the rumour was they couldnt get the original tapes so just remastered from a record :eek: |

| 1464909 | 2019-11-16 02:27:00 | I use to "remaster" music with a DJ mate converting/altering wav format) with software - Cool Edit Pro 2.. Convert mono to stereo with L/R channels and add boost bass, add reverb,echo chamber, noise removal etc. But kind of lose that mono dull sound originality, is what I found. But depends who's listening (e.g. a crowd of semi drunk teens at a raging 21st or older middle road folks when doing DJ) and how one appreciate the sound of music. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1464910 | 2019-11-17 00:27:00 | Remastering these days seems to mean decreasing the dynamic range and making the new version sound worse than the old. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
