bradsonemanband Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 https://remasteredblinkdemos.bandcamp.com/ I remastered Flyswatter, Demo #2, and the Buddha Promo tape last weekend. I was sick of my ears bleeding every time I felt like putting on some old Blink demos. So I finally took the liberty of EQing and remastering them to make them more listenable. Obviously you can't polish a turd, but I hope I at least gave them a decent spit shine. Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Sorry, mate. Appreciate the effort, but they sound disgracefully bad. Too much hiss accentuated by your tweaking. Too much middle range boost? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much hiss accentuated by your tweaking. Too much middle range boost? I appreciate the feedback. They definitely have room for improvement, I agree. And I may go back and fuck with them some more when I have a free night again. But compared to the versions that are already out there, they sound much better. At least in my opinion. Shrug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WithLibertyMusic Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 What program did you use to remaster? If you have the chance to demo it try Izotope RX for some noise cancelling. It does a pretty seamless job at removing some of the extra noise. Good job none-the-less 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactive Ghent Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I came in here expecting the worst, but you actually did manage to make something that was completely un-listenable better. I say good job! Ghost thinks he's some kind of audio engineer, so that's why he's being a huge dick. Ignore it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioactive Ghent Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Maybe Ghost should remaster Flyswatter and prove that he can do better. Since he is an expert and all, it should be pretty simple. Hell, just do one song and we will compare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just now, Ghost said: Not to me. They're cheap analog recordings, one of which was done on a 4 track in a bedroom. They're about as cleaned up and clear as they're ever gonna be, you're being pedantic. Maybe you should just offer up a "good job" and stop being a dick.

Anyway, because of that, because those recordings are what they are, unless you have the master recordings, any effort at 'remaster' a shitty lossy file will be a void effort. Sound treatment 101 here. You're welcome. But you're not even aware of that, that's your level, champion. 2 minutes ago, Margie Whipple's Rage said: They're cheap analog recordings, one of which was done on a 4 track in a bedroom.

Boosting middle ranges, or trying to thin the lower tranges on this kind of recordings (remember, this comes from a shitty rip of an old cassette which, probably, was a reencoding from an original lossless rip-source) is as far as a remastering process as it gets. You know pretty well what I'm talking about, aren't you? Anyways, I know he made it just for fun, and I'm not talking about his effort. I'm expressing I don't like it and why. If that's wrong with you, then fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all. You came in, shit on it and acted like a dink-headed know it all. Yes, thats wrong to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You understood perfectly well what I said. Appreciate the effort, but don't like the results. If that blows your minds, then well... have a look at that. In fact, @bradsonemanband has shown more class accepting my opinion than you both. And he's the author of this thread. So well... whatever.
