  1. Insightful interview with Mack

    Interesting interview. Clearly a talented guy, but always HATED his drum sound. The lifeless slap that is the Mack snare, shits me to tears. I find The Works a very difficult listen for that reason alone.

  2. The 3rd Batch of remasters

    Did someone say loss of detail?

  3. Remasters - just louder

    @OwenSmith. I'm afraid you're confusing 'remixing' with 'remastering'. Mastering is the final process after a mix has taken place; a sort of final polish. So yes, mastering just deals with the results of a stereo/mono...

  4. Remasters - just louder

    OK, 'clipping' can be a loaded term in audio circles, but in truth the definition has a certain amount of breadth. In this instance (i.e. these remasters) I'm using the term in reference to 'soft clipping', rather tha...

  5. Remasters - just louder

    I think broadly, it’s a fair summation to say that they are just louder. Now on the surface that could seem like a slur, which I guess it is, because in the end that’s why I don’t like them. However in every other way...

  6. Jealousy Kick Drum - Mistake on 2011 Remaster?!?

    cmsdrums wrote: Well... we have an answer to my original question to the 'experts' at Brian's site on this issue (thanks to them). It seems that Roy Thomas Baker left the kick drum out of the original mix of Jazz by m...

  7. Brian on Wembley DVD

  8. The Game, 2011 Remaster

    Like a few of the other 2011 releases, I found The Game quite frustrating. Again, like other 2011 releases, the EQ has been quite faithful to the first presses, only with a thicker, more pronounced, bottom end. If tha...

  10. Fast version of We Will Rock You

  11. The Future of Garden Lodge

  14. In search of advice concerning ANATO remasters

  15. Queen & DVD-Audio - I want more...

  16. Queen & DVD-Audio - I want more...

    I found ANATO an interesting listen, but didn't particularly like The Game that much. In the end, both were a little loud for my tastes. Plus I didn't really like the fact that they used a different take of Coming Soo...

  17. In search of advice concerning ANATO remasters

    To be fair the the 2011 remasters, although I'm not a big fan, for the most part, they are not heavily compressed. ....However, most have a fair bit of heavy limiting going on. My guess it was a compromise between wan...

  18. In search of advice concerning ANATO remasters

    The DCC is light years ahead of anything else IMO. It's expensive, but well worth the money ...if quality sound is what you're after. The Japanese CP32 is quite good, not as expensive, however getting harder to find a...
