1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Tough to really tell from those samples because they're so lo-res, but they hint at a good-sounding VT. We can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Tough to really tell from those samples because they're so lo-res, but they hint at a good-sounding VT. We can only hope. Yeah I actually listened to the Original samples afterward and they sounded better. These new samples have that flangy effect on the high hats that disguises the actual mix. I'll hold judgement until the actual CD comes out. Cause these were not to good. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangster of Goats Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Despite the crappy-flangey-treble lo-rez mp3 mess of those clips, I can still hear some clear (ironic choice of adjective!) differences for the better, namely more space around the instruments and some sweetening on the vocals (especially the wordless vocals in OLV and Freeze). Looking forward to this remix; the original mix sounds as though they just threw all the faders on the mixing board up to 10 and were done with it.

Tarkus406 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Those clips suck balls, but they certainly do show signs of big changes! I could tell the vocals were really brought out, which is definitely what it needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Tough to really tell from those samples because they're so lo-res, but they hint at a good-sounding VT. We can only hope. I agree. Taking into account the low quality both of the samples and of the speakers on my computer, I am cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Passing judgment on a release that exists to improve the sound quality of an album based on 30-second web-stream samples seems foolish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I can't tell what is changed due to the horrendously low quality of the samples or what was changed in the mix. It sounds like ass, but hopefully it the former issue and not the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I would still bet money that the HD tracks remastered version will be better than this remix. Don't know why more people don't buy the HD tracks version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why more people don't buy the HD tracks version. Because last time I looked, you had to buy it in a package deal, and I didn't have $79 to blow on it.

USB Connector Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 As 73 said, hard to tell if the damage is less apparent because of the bitrate, but it's obvious they did in fact change things. The more docile songs like Ghost Rider, The Stars Look Down and How It Is sound a lot better in these samples, so I'm very happy about that. However the sample of Nocturne has no substance. Anyway, I still can't wait for my order to ship to blast it through my stereo. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the album for something like 16 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edm2112 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I got really excited to hear the snippets...then i got really scared when i clicked play and heard how awful it sounded...once i went through all the samples i knew it must have been bitrate issues...I've collected a few unofficial remixes/remasters, but I'm really hyped to get a hold of this one.

The Analog Grownup Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Besides the low quality streaming it sounds promising. Seems to have gotten more clarity and each instrument sits a lot better in the mix. Now I'm even more looking forward to my vinyl :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Exciting to hear that Geddy`s vocals seem more forward in the mix - that`s one thing that I would have wanted tweaking. I`m intrigued to hear the different versions side-by-side - the original VT and the remixed - but am thinking I might just be used to the original and listen to that one, anyway! Think I`ll make a playlist of the two albums and put it on random, and see if I can guess which is which, or just listen blindly and try to notice which I like better.

I'm going to be knocking on my parents door to see if they haven't thrown out the record player. If not I'm going to see if I can repair it and play it alongside the CA vinyl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just pre-ordered it on Amazon for $10, excited to hear how it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 This sounds promising. I was able to listen beyond the crappy bit rate and am excited by what I hear. It'll kinda be like listening to a new Rush album :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkus406 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Is there much improvement in the way the guitar solos sound?The guitar solo on the remixed version of Earthshine is fantastic sounding...so if that's any indication of what's to come...

Rhyta Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hope it is just the crappy sample but I think it sounds neutered, no kick to it. will wait and see I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
