Level collection is fine but keep the eq as is. I'm thinking perhaps we should leave the EQ as-is all across the board, but make level adjustments only on the really, really super loud shit. But I'm starting to think that it would be too much effort to equalize every non-perfect track on this set, and I can see how that would be undesirable for some. I was able to piece together a version of the first disc that revolves around the "normal" stuff. Any normal person would find it distracting. It really is a jarring mis-match of epic proportions. And then you've got the recent stuff which has no treble to speak of but tons of upper-midrange and bass and it's massively massively compressed and loud. You've got normally mastered stuff that is very clear, maybe a bit too bright. I think the problem is that the differences are too extreme, even on the first disc. Maybe, if there's enough interest, you could release two versions - one set with JWB's remastering changes made, and another set just as-is without the remastering?Įither way, I'm keeping an eye on this thread and look forward to the final results. It's not my project any more and I'm not trying to tell anybody what to do, but I think there may be other fans with preferences similar to mine. For me, fading live tracks in and out at the beginning and end is about as far as I'd go with remastering things - no level changes, EQ, etc. But for me, personally, I'd prefer to have all these tracks pure and unfutzed with - even if they don't sound perfectly smooth played back next to one another. JWB has done some fine work fixing up live shows, etc., and I appreciate the work involved. One thing I might suggest is not "remastering" anything. I'm JasonA, and I approve of this project! Nice to see someone take it over, I no longer have the time nor motivation to keep this thing current.
