Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
I'm sorry Five, there's just something funny about you making that a serious statement.

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
i don't know this site because i'm new here. but if it's anything like the sites i do know, i'd say that there's a chance that some of the worst remaster engineers will get on the approved list merely because they are friends of moderators (or they have some influence over them) at other websites.

a few of my favorite tapers quit u/ling here when we banned MiniDisc recordings because they used MD...nothing personal, but im not gonna change my opinion on the policy because a few folks refuse to quit using a lossy recording format...you can always find yer MD sources, or bedroom remasters, or mp3 shows, etc at many othere sites on the net truth is there ARE some people out there who know what they're doin...there are a lot more who don't...i fully confident in my ears & knowledge to be able to discern, as are many others on staff No members have liked this post.

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
Please provide me with examples of semantics I've used. I'm just trying to better understand the comments in question...

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
I voted yes because I think there is nothing black and white suggesting a remastered source is not better than a mastered source. The goal being to have the best source here.
There are certainly recordings that could be made better with remastering. I believe there are people that have remastering skills and techniques that are beneficial. 95% of what is remastered does not fit into this category. Most are a degradation of the master material in some form. How you monitor this? I don't know. It's probably easier and better to not allow them to prevent the flood of poor remasters. I think discussions of people taking undue credit for their part is another topic all together.

however, everybody here understands what is meant by the term so its moot, a serious waste of time to nitpick over.

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
y'see I could sit here and go ooooohhh I wasn't talking about using semantics, I was talking about over-discussing semantics. this sort of direction is pointless bickering, people who love this sort of thing should just join a bridge club.

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
semantics as it applies to the term "semantics"
how meta is that? or am I using the term wrong? anyhow, getting back to the basics, back in the day before cloning was possible we had to live with each analog copy being a little different and subjectively better or worse than what somebody else had in their posession. the digital age should (mostly) solve this problem, to the point where we can distribute the best copies of each source as well as sweetened versions when they become available. but the real tapes are the raw sources. if you only have a "remaster" you don't even have that show imo. and when the remaster is a step backwards and the unmolested version is difficult/impossible to locate, we're in one hell of a mess.

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
face, surely you've downloaded a pile of shit remaster that cannot be "fixed" more easily than the raw source could. we're all collectors here, we share a lot of the same frustrations.

And the chance of any of the worst making a list would be slim to none. We pull killer shows often, even if we know it's great, because there are requirements we have that it doesn't meet. We have to balance strictness & wanting to have as much variety as possible, but we have no issue with enforcing the rules. No members have liked this post.

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
There currently is no list, and no limitations barring remasters (other than the standards, such as lossiness, etc.).

Re: do remasters fit with the site's mission statement?
Yeah that is nice and all but you can't ignore them if they are not at minimum properly tagged so when anyone uses the search they can filter them out by a tag search or they have their own special tag like audience, sbd etc. If the tags were locked so people couldn't add any old garbage they would probably be the most efficient way to search for stuff on this site.
