eli5 why do some songs say “Remastered”?
In: 6
They are older songs which may not have had the best mixing or mastering done, so an audio engineer will take the original recordings of the instruments and re-do the process. They might change the stereo positioning of instruments or they might change the volumes of different instruments in relation to each other etc. An easy example is how some of the older songs will have some instruments only coming out of the left speaker/headphone and others in the right. This was really common when stereo became a thing – now some of the remasters have a more modern mix of the instruments rather than hard panning them.
