De-Compression.
Came across a sound professional who took his CD of McCartney's "Memory Almost Full" and did what he called "reverse compression". He gave me a copy. The original was so compressed it hurt my head after about 30 seconds. Acc'd to one tool I have, it had a Dynamic range of about 6db.
The "decompressed" version sounded a bit flat, but was much better to my ears. I could actually sit and listen to the album. Acc'd to the same tool, the dynamic range of the altered file was about doubled.
I'm not an engineer. What do you think he did to his copy of the files to get that result?
I would be interested in such a software.. Heck I would care for the software equivalent of the Phase Linear Autocorrelation stuff. Some RnB, Rock and and Pop re-issues are atrocious and most of what comes out today from the hit facotries are the same: No dynamics and loud ... is there such a software? I know that once compressed the orginal is lost but if I can make it more listenable that would be OK .. Free would be preferred
there is a quietness around each instrument...
