When old music tracks are remastered, what is actually happening? How do they make the new version sound better than the version from 1976?
In: Technology
They find the original tapes that are directly recorded from the microphones. These are very good quality, they then mix it using modern techniques.
Old songs are often hard panned stereo, drum in one ear, vocals in another. This is not seen as favourable nowadays so they’ll make it more centred.
They can increase the presence of different instruments in the mix if it originally was too quiet.
