What-ouatte Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Hi With now so much loudness recording, on the market, that sound like a cheap (bad) ad on tv Is there a function in macmini or windows or a program (app) to: "remove dynamic range compression" The last "rolling stone el mocambo" is the worst, that i have ear so far, it make me want to discard all my HiFi! "because there is no point buying hi-fi if all recording goes down the drain with huge dynamic range compression" So my guess if you could add compression, maybe we could remove it and put it back as it should sound like real music? Best regards Edited May 13 by Zink_e typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 That album was recorded for vinyl in 1977. A live album... I am pretty sure it was pretty much squished on the original multitrack, so they didn't lose anything. If that still exists as a multi track, that could get some expansion done per individual track/instrument, and get the dynamics of a live performance. Probably not gonna happen though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the rolling stones, and they planned the show a for a long time and at that time they we're not beginner! an got lot's of engineer! Btw, that was the CD, and for a strange reason, sound better on tidal, not the same reading and lp's got not the similar curve... there are some bootleg of the show, but they seems to have disapear, good legal teams the stones! So with digital, if it goes one way, it goes the others. Sadly, by searching the web, what is teach on internet, is loudness recording is the best and dynamic is the enemy! lot's and lot's of software to put loundness in music, but the reverse sadly nothing! i use to record band, with mini HD, live and you catch everything without saturated the thing, because the first technology, always rely on setup, of the old one, loudness, is discovery from the late 1990, and it help the apple tree grow and headphone downsize for recharging battery purpuss! best listening all, no more new CD for me BTW I have spending time listening LedZeppelin from all era remastering: first transfert on CD: lazy transfert: just the lp's to CD second mastering: some compressing, hiss is the enemy third mastering: we found something last time, we will push it a little bit, extra money more pic and no background noise from old studio fourth mastering: hey, i look at it, the still space for compression, let make it look like and scotch tape recording, fill the damm thing! now no more silence all is fill! kid are deaft, so they don't notice... Fifth mastering, Oups, lp's revival, compression not working, let decrease it and make lp's sound better than CD, we make more money with vinyl anyway! Streaming market: let them manage there hireshish the way they want with there software! they will need compression to decrease the amount of storage they need and compression help multi listening streaming, less data to manage, so vinyl rule! 99$ for an lp's, well it goes with an 11$ bigmag burger, will put the problem on the pandemic, nobody will notice... i have try to put some humor in it, because i am so sad of what happen with music recording.

So, it depends on a lot of things. The producer generally is at fault. The engineering part can be done with great dynamic range and unless you are mixing from tape, you shouldn't have any hiss at all, and it's not been a problem for years. I listen to a lot of music with top notch production and wide dynamic range. If you want to reverse the compression on a track, the link babadono shared above, point to a methodology the do some of that successfully, but not perfectly. All you have to work with is the final mix. Individual tracks within the mix might, shall we say, fight against each other and end up worse if you expand any part of the final mix. You will read contradictory information on the process and what folks think has been done or can be done. Just listen and enjoy the music or get a different hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of tapes can still be played back. transfer to a DAW and you could do just about anything you want. From Wikipedia: "In 1998, Love You Live was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records, and in 2009, was re-released with an updated remastering by Universal Records. In 2011 it was released on a single SHM-SACD by Universal Music Enterprises Japan. " Only four songs were from the club in Toronto, the rest were from other live show. All were heavily overdubbed. It's the Stones. They were high most of the time. Play them through a set of JBLs and they will sound great. A pair of Century speaker perhaps. I only had a couple Stones albums, and they've been gone a lone time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
