KennyLee Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Presto is a really good album with a really bad mix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I dont understand why people complain on the mix on Presto, I dont find any problems with it. If its any album that I got a problem with when its about the mix, it is Clockwork Angels, Clockwork Angels Tour, Vapor Trails and Rush In Rio. They have fixed Vapor Trails now, so I hope they fix the other albums soon! But Presto, its no problems with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little ass in that album and I think it is really good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Geddy said there are no plans to "Vapor Trails" any other album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read an interview with Geddy, in which he voiced his desire to redo Presto, as it sounds like it was recorded in a tin can. If Presto had been recorded like Counterparts was, it would be magnificent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Know what I really like about Presto? The bass lines! (Assuming you have a good enough system yo actually hear them!). I think he was doing the flamenco finger thing back then.. But this video is for you D3strukt.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Presto sounds amazing on headphones. Yes, the low end is somewhat lacking, but otherwise the mix is superb. There is so much to hear on that album, and just about all of it can be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I remixed it myself to play in my car and added a bit of low mids and bass and it sounds much better. Doesn't sound like it's coming out of a tin can anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangster of Goats Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Presto does sound thin indeed (as do many other Rupert Hine productions), but in this specific case of Presto, I actually don't mind it so much. It makes the album sound crisp and "wintery" to me and it reminds me of the fall/winter of 1989 when I bought it upon release. Those 3 hour drives in the cold wintery weather, from home back up to college after the weekend, playing Presto in the car... and other memories of the time. So yeah, just silly sentimental reasons. ;) Also, bunnehs. But on the other hand, if it had Counterparts' sonics, it would be absolutely teh ballz. The sound of Counterparts is my favorite of everything they've released since 1984 (the remixed/remastered Vapor Trails a close second I must admit.)

LedRush Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 This was an album that I hated, but I grew to enjoy. After the more recent, muscular live performances of some of the songs I went back and saw better song writing than I remembered. This still isn't among my favorites, but I do enjoy it a lot now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
