something is not right here and it's on purpose!!!


lf you have the same source master on remastered digital and 1st press vinyl with the same volume, the digital sounds louder and more distorted with more intensity + is there anyway to remove that intensity from remastered digital because it sound like the audio has been run through a distortion pedal? How could legendary producers and mixers not hear this crap?

To say that the re-mastered digital LP pressings sound like they have been run through a distortion pedal, is quite exaggerated. In all cases, however, I've experienced, in both vinyl and CD, the remastered recordings sound slightly more strident and aggressive than their original counterparts, yet they seem a bit thin and less engaging.
I also find the newer digital vinyl pressings, in general, do not sound as rich full and engaging, as most of my old analogue vinyls.
IMO that many of the new recordings are over miked, over engineered, over dubbed and over compressed, but I still get much enjoyment out of both the old and the new.....Jim  
   
Sam, my very bigly brain tells me that the earth frequency is consistently present, wether we like it or not and on a very minute level, affects everything we hear. Even if the earth frequency was not captured in the recording process, it is present, embedding itself into the music as we listen. Even if there is some merit to your claim of adding it back into a recording, it would be redundant. Just sayn..........Jim
