what is the reason for REMASTERING old songs? Is that due to the newer and more advanced sound systems?
In: Technology
What has been already said, but exactly the reason why you think it woukd happen. Older songs that are extremely popular compared to ones that arent will get more album and singles sales. With the new advancements, of course the music industry is going to make a remastered version, so it can sound better or at least more crisp and clear to generations that aren’t used to the old sound.
The incentive is of course money, but you don’t see just anyone remastering songs. Now that we have the technology to do it, of course it is going to be done. People will listen to a clearer sounding track or pay for a service or buy the song for it to add to songs that are newer. If the track was kept the same, then people might not listen to it as much as a newer song.
TLDR making use of new technology as well as trying to keep the business going
