GhostGirl Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Anybody else spring for these? I did... The last two didn't really need the remastering (in my oh so humble opinion) but I got 'em anyway. The first two sound almost the same to me...still not much bass. Just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostGirl Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 They're going to! It just hasn't been released yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I will probably pick up Presto and RTB first. I never really liked the way they were mixed, way too much high end. CP and T4E I will pick up eventually. Tell you the truth, I probably wont pick any of them up for a while, right now I'm looking in to other bands and trying to get back into classical music again, so would rather spend my buck in that way. I already have do have all the Rush cds, and will buy each new one upon release, but as for ones I already have, I can afford to wait on it.

Snowdog Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Seeing as how I rarely listen to any of these, I'll wait for the reviews from the fans to come in. The one that I'm most curious about though, is Presto. Will they beef up that rail thin sound??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I'll get Presto and RTB, because I don't have them on CD, CP and T4E I have on CD and am very happy with. Agree totally with RR re : VT. As has been said before on the CP board, the instrumental snippets on "The Boys in Brazil" documentary sound great, particularly Nocturne in my book. I think they could do VT, and issue it would a bonus DVD of material recorded on the R30 tour. That, I will DEFINITELY buy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test4VitalSigns Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I definitely think Presto needed to be done....the others sounded fine to me....VT is supposed to be done as well but i think it's fine as is...i remember when VT first came out alot of people complained about the sound of it..i'll eventually get them all anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 "VT is supposed to be done as well but i think it's fine as is...i remember when VT first came out alot of people complained about the sound of it" Yikes!!! I love VT, the music, the lyrics, but it is one awful sounding CD and very hard to listen to through a good playback system . I ran across this article called Over the Limit, Ceiling Limited that explains why: http://www.prorec.com/prorec/articles.nsf/...6256C2E005DAF1C What it all comes down to is the record label destroying the original recordings to further some distorted idea of better marketing. I am very surprised that the band has not spoken up about it. It is recognized that all recordings become 'normalized' and adjusted for market release, but usually the harm done can be lived with (unless one has been exposed to the original in unaltered form). With VT this sonic adjustment was taken to extremes and even the author of this article, a professional, can't understand why. So, personally I hope that VT is remastered and this time to remove the vast compression and restore the music that has been stolen from all of us. You know that some remasterings of older material was actually done to bring the music up to modern standards. What that means is to make the overall volume as loud as newer compressed recordings. So, in effect the remasters were made compressed to sound good on a boom box and/or car stereo and much worse on Hi End equipment. They were a step, no - a jump, backwards.
