Re: Where to start with remastering/cleaning audio? (Need help)

Like mentioned above, many factors to take into consideration.

What kind of audio source you are working with >> Linage >> Generation >> Audio Cassette / LP / Digital Files etc...

Too much "remastering" has also "killed" many great recordings..."Donīt fix what is not broken"...

Also many people/tapers/traders forgets about the playback-options...Will you listen on headphones, on your speakers, on a small cheap portable CD-player...? This will have affect on how the "final sound" sounds in the end...Crap and bad sounding "playback"-options will not increase the "remastered" product...

The ultimate source is a source that is recorded well from the start...some sources can "use" some "remastering", yet itīs a thin line between updating a source with "remastering" and "destroying" the dynamics...

With dynamics we usually mean that most people do the general fault of raising the "treble/highs" too much to make the recording "brighter and sharper"...yet many has failed and all dynamics (mid-range / bass-range) is lost and gone.....

Best to think like this when remastering audio:

- Keep a good balance between >> Treble >> Mid >> Bass-frequencies.

Itīs not which audio software you use...itīs mostly about the person doing the "remastering" and your ears...also ask what the purpose is of each "remastering"...(!)
