Hi
It is all about the music for me .. yet it remains that some mastering jobs are atrocious.. The other day I purchased the Isley Brothers (what ?? Yes , I listen to them too .. fun .. light and repetitive, but that's part of my early teens..so ...) "The Collection" Box Set
omg .. the sound is so compressed as not to be enjoyable .. The songs start loud, remain loud and finish loud.. Seems every instruments in the mix are at the same level .. Soundstage? you gotta be kidding ? mhhh? No infllections in the voices.. Man!! Bad mastering !!
The reason for this thread is for you people on this board to post your examples of good mastering on ANY medium be it CD, LP, Hi-Rez or R2R Tapes from yesteryear music Rock, Jazz, Pop, Classic, anything.. I am particularly NOT interested in $500-per-pop-special-edition-anything. I must say I would prefer digital .. honestly, but any medium will really do.
Now .. Still looking for a decent mastering job for the aforementioned Isley Brothers ...
