YYZumbi Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We all agree that Rush In Rio and Clockwork Angels Tour are the worst Rush albums that they have ever released if you look at the sound quality/mix, right? But I was thinking on one thing when I was reading this: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/mastering-forum/544849-remastering-cds-personal-use.html Why havent anyone done a remaster and released it public? Since Rush wont do it.. I dont know how to do it, but I think it could be made much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You can only remaster them if you have the original mixes pre-master. It doesn't do much to remaster an existing master. You can do a little eq here and there, adjust the overall volume, but if you want the guitars louder in the mix or pan them to either side then you're out of luck. Rush In Rio may not have the best sound quality, but when you stop to think about it doesn't it also add to the charm that they're not all sounding the same? I haven't heard Clockwork Angels Live on cd but I suppose it got the 'loudness' treatment so overly done these days. I ripped the sound from the dvd so I would have more control over the quality, and I think it sounds fine. The dynamics are still squashed but that seems to be normal with live recordings.

YYZumbi Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 no its no charm that Rush In Rio sounds bad, I can not even listen to it, Rush In Rio and Clockwork Angels Tour are the two CDs that I can not listen to at all, because they sound terrible! I have been listened to both of them like 2-3 times, but thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 the live videos are almost even worse! Bad camera-work there as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Rush and Rio can't be remixed to sound better. You have to understand that when they did that concert, they did it with primitive (compared to ours) recording and sound equipment, and also had no time for a soundcheck that night. They did everything on the fly up to when they burst into Tom Sawyer. CA is a different story, but good luck on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you rip the sound from a DVD? I've been wanting to do that with the Clockwork Angels tour recording myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how to do it, but I think it could be made much better! Time Machine Tour is the worst, and no remix or remaster can fix Geddy's voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty decent compared to the Clockwork Angels DVD. Even with the cold he had he sounded better on TM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want a boot that doesn't have atrocious vocals, because I saw several shows on this tour and his voice was never close to as bad as on the released product.

From what I understand they recorded several shows, so I don't know why they had to use the same show for the DVD as for the CD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's such a shame about the editing on the DVD. I can't even watch it because it gives me a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
