Here's my first attempt at remastering a classic. Hope everyone enjoys, leave a comment or two if possible, I need to know where to improve :)
Oh, and I know full well that it's not as loud as modern albums, that would absolutely spoil the magic of this album. To put it simply, I'm not going to damage this music (any more than I already have). The volume knob exists for a reason, and if you're listening to it in shuffle mode or something, whatever. The album wasn't intended to be listened to in shuffle mode.
Technical details (read only if you really want to know what I did):
* Ripped original CDCBS 25314 (1983 CD release) using EAC.
* Ran Waves Linear Phase EQ (Lowcut), at either 20 or 30Hz (did this a while ago, and lost the preset due to a system reformat)
* Ran Adobe Parametric EQ; 8dB @ 105Hz Q1.79, 2.9dB @ 6350Hz Q1.69
* Normalised to -.1dB (to satisfy people with loudness at least somewhat)
* Embedded original CUE sheet into wav file using CueListTool
* Changed track indexes cuz I thought they could be improved
* Exported CUE sheet from WAV using CueListTool, manually added "countdown" indexes (function not working in CueListTool?)
* Chopped up tracks using CUE sheet in EAC.
* Converted to FLAC 1.2.1 level 8, verified
* Wrote ID tags
* Converted to mp3 (Lame) V0
* Scanned original covers and spent a whole day touching them up in photoshop
Once again, enjoy, if you have a request for any other classic rock albums, and there isn't a better remaster out there somewhere, I might be able to have a go. I'll probably try Midnight Oil's 1984 album, "Red Sails in the Sunset" next (provided I can find a sample accurate FLAC rip of the 1984 CBS release).
