What does it mean when an album or song is “remastered”?
In: Other
With the definition of “Mastering” having been changed forever over the last decade, it could mean a lot of things. It could be that the master stereo file was sent through some equalization, or not, and set to a specific level that is used for whatever form of broadcast that it’s headed for. It could be as simple as some shelving or filtering with subtle compression. It could mean that the song was remixed, with each stem (guitar, bass, drums, skin flute) has been mixed again as a totally new presentation of the original recordings. There could be new performances, there could be new settings for effects on original performances. The possibilities are endless, and no two remasters are the same.
