A Question About The Live Magic Album

One of my favorite live albums is Live Magic!
A Majority of the songs are from the Knebworth Concert
But the audio is completely remastered, It's Incredable! I'm dieing to know
 how the heck do they remaster the audio to the unbelievable quality as heard in Live Magic!
I know guys can share your comments and help me on this one.
Thanks!

as for quality ...you're maybe right,and it's nice to hear some audio from Knebworth (but....) 
but it's a shame really that they edit almost everything  ... with 4 songs in unedited form
also ... why hasn't this release been updated by QPL .... (we did get 1!! official "Magic" show only in full) 
instead of releasing a full compilation .... no wait ...why not just release Knebworth .....Fuck man !




It's late ....

this album sound really bad comparing to wembley or montreal, of course queen producctions didnt "remastered" the bootleg that some guy recorded, they just used the multitrack... there is nothing special about that... of course it will sound better than the bootleg...

It's not re-mastered, just mastered. Mastering refers to the processing of fully mixed recordings for release on an audio-carrier. It involves equalizing, compressing/limiting and the likes, to make the overall sound more balanced, and to optimize the sound for a variety of playback-configurations. Re-mastering occurs when the original master-track for a previously released recording is mastered for a new release. The term then serves merely to illustrate that the new release differs from the original one.

i dont want that either

I don't want a Live Magic re-release, I don't want a Live in Budapest DVD anytime soon and I couldn't care less about Knebworth being released in any format.

Thanks For that info. I have one of the bootlegs, and I use a Mac. It is possible to master the songs, to the sound qyality of the Live Magic Album through software?

I must say that Live Magic, even the tracks taken from Wembley, does sound a hell of a lot better than live at Wembley (even the remastered versions of that).

"Remastering" tracks takes a lot more than just trying audio plug-ins here and there. Sometimes you can get much better results than the originals with just a few tweaks, but overkill happens more often than you can think. You can virtually remove any hiss or noises, but depending on what the plugin you're using, you'll make the original audio sound like it's under water too.

If Knebworth is released, then great, for history reasons and all.  But honestly, the Live Magic fragment is great, and the Thank You All bootleg is certainly listenable enough.  It seems the big fans want something from the 70s, so let's see what 2009 brings.

Definitely not.  It was recorded from very far away in the audience with a single microphone, whereas the band recorded the show from the soundboard.  There is no chance that an audience recording, even with the best possible gear recorded from the front row, can sound as good as something recorded properly from the soundboard.
