Thank you very much for the Happy Easter wishes! I was on vacation a few days, but now I bring some good news. This news need only one thing: [b][i]PUT YOUR HEADPHONES VOLUME AT MAX[/i][/b].
Also, Chief Mouse, I can't remember exactly why, but I selected 'Queen II' to be the next one. I'm a bit scared about messing with that one, and the same for 'Queen' and 'Innuendo'. It's gonna be really challenging, but I want to do it.
Now:
[i][b]Princes of the Universe[/b][/i]
[b]General:[/b]
-No more noticeable backing track when Freddie says "Fighting for survival".
-So much more embracing sound.
-Cleaner general sound, you can distinguish better lots of sounds.
-More powerful hits! Every "Prumm... ta-tah!" was enhanced to kick asses.
-Holy shit! The choruses...
-Corrected a tempo problem between the snare explosions part and the guitar solo.
[b]Drums:[/b]
-Strength to the drums to keep the hits breaking all, not so sunken in the lows..
-Stronger kicks and more noticeable hit (I love how it sounds now at the 2:05 explosions).
-More noticeable toms.
-New motherfucker whip boxier snare on the front, not so flat (hear the choruses now).
-Cleaner snare (ex. the "Take me to the future..." fill at 1:25 or at 1:54, or 2:08)
-Hi-hat panned to the right, like in most Queen songs (ex: the choruses).
-Bright to the cymbals, not so opaque, the drums come to life now.
-Explosive entering to the choruses.
-Exploding strength during the choruses "PUM PAHM PUM PAHM".
-More noticeable cymbals play at 2:02.
-Less carton sound to the ultra-snare-fill part at 2:30, and more "whip-full-box" sound.
-The snare is in the front at that part.
-Restored the kick at the guitar solo.
-Added kicks at the final chorus to make a better hit with the last 4 snares.
[b]Piano and Effects:[/b]
-Enhanced the piano, more audible.
-Enhanced vocal "oohs" at 0:59 part.
-Dynamic pan to the helicopter at 1:25.
[b]Vocals:[/b]
-Wider backing vocals.
-More aggressive Freddie with new embracing main vocal.
-Paned both "Yeah!" at the "I have inside me blood of kings" part
-Fixed the "Take me to the future..." at 1:22 so it doesn't sound like "Shake me to the..." anymore.
-Eliminated some "Tph" sounds in the mic (ex. "People talk abPMHMout you, people say..."
-More heroic backing vocals at "Cos I'm right FIRST TIIIIIIIIIME".
[b]Guitar:[/b]
-New priority to the guitars, the song was consumed by the bass.
-So so so much more open and embracing guitars (check the "tui tui tui..." at 0:26).
-More noticeable guitars bits here and there (ex: 0:43, when Freddie says "And here we are").
-Exploding guitar at the choruses... they really explode now.
-Cleaner sound at the guitar solo.
-Explosive rhythmic and main guitar at the final chorus.
-Enhanced guitar harmonies at the very end of the song.
[b]Bass:[/b]
-Cleaner bass line.
-Depth at required points.
-Allow with the drum hits. (ex. every "Prumm... ta-tah!" or the choruses "Pum pahm pum...").
-More noticeable bass at lots of parts (ex. the last chorus).
Enjoy!

Amazing! I hope you have an idea of how many people (like me) wait for news and listen to your work without posting replies here.
Great, great work,I just hope you don't get tired before working on the entire catalog ;). I can see you've replaced the listening of official releases for many people (like me too!)

Un fucking believable! Lost for words...I was actually bored with this song. Until this...
Back2TheLight
Just like the poster above me, I've been waiting for this for some time. I've been a faithful follower since the beginning, and it just gets better with time!

exactly, which makes me wonder wether Matt is considering re-re-visiting again his previous efforts (ANATO, Miracle, Works, etc etc) !! LOL !! :-)
if Matt was paid for this, he would have a stable employment for the next couple of years, for sure !!
you listen, QPL? ;-)
to my ears, the past 2011 remasters pale in comparision !
of course it´s a matter of personal taste and some folks may not like some of Matt´s decisions / changes, but I personally LOVE everything he´s doing. This is a fantastic re-discovery journey of every album that´s been delivered so far.

Some songs sound very different from the ones of the official albums and this is fantastic ;)

From the 2 songs we've heard from this project, it would be difficult to find reason NOT to define this as the definitive version of AKOM. The sound quality alone on just these two songs has so much more in terms of audible difference with the clarity then the original one ever did.
