Why is most everything remastered?


It's becoming more and more difficult to find what sound signature was originally meant by the artist. I have examples that sound terrible after remastering. I understand why it has to be this way, If and only it improves the original, if not... leave it alone!

Re-Mastered recordings are Hit and Miss... much like Life itself. Many Original recordings are just fine as they were released and others sound way better with Modern reworking.

@voodoolounge ​​​​, most music and recordings since 1995-2000 have been recorded in a digital format (as computers became ever increasingly affordable and adaptable). Pressing vinyl from a digital recording has been the Norm for 25 years. There are of course exceptions and they are usually noted on the reord itself. A great many Master Tapes from earlier recordings are also stored digitally and the Master Tapes are archived (and so never/rarely used for re-releases).
