I guess it comes back to RS's original post.....why are labels REMIXING
albums at all (except maybe fo for the 5.1 market)? I've had the opportunity
to remix a number of my own earlier records for the Bullseye 20th
anniversary archive next year. And with the exception of two early punk
recordings, the results have been less than sastisfying. There was something
about the mish-mash of frequencies that we got on the original 1/4" analog
mixes that I like better. However, there were some songs that were
technically unfinished (due to my being infernally broke at the time) that
have been resurrected and finally sound like finished masters with the aid
of Pro-Tools.
The remixes by the major labels should be in reference to the original
artists and producers. George Martin stepped back when originally given the
opportunity to remix the Beatles catalogue. Mainly because he didn't want to
do the work due to his hearing loss, but also because he didn't think it
necessary.
