Maybe they are just badly produced? Mastering can't save shitty sounding production.

Good tracks, though.

Here's one:
Whiteroom - Whiteroom. Shittiest sounding vinyl I got.

Can of worms. Dont go there.

New DB stuff for the album sounds much sweeter. His old stuff does sound a bit dodgy, does need remastering.

that has nothing to do with it, I've heard some fantastically mastered stuff on the old 1020's, the guy just isn't very good at mastering

Do not confuse mastering and mixing! The mixing is during the production, if it's crap, the mastering will be useless.

System F // Reaching Your Soul - theres a load of 'clipping' noises when the main melody builds up...cant believe Ferry let this happen.....or maybe its just the version on the Platipus Compilation - 'tales of the unexpected' ive got it on...

I heard you mention this before and that is just amazing. Imagine what D.B. would sound like if they used today's modern equipment! You can't begin to describe the type of potential music they could produce.

Hes in his new studio. Album tracks + new studio = savage productions and proboboly the best artist album ever.

OMG stop teasing me. if all those tracks makes it to the album i will lock myself in my room playing it on repeat for a week.

Karma, Cyan, Casca, Lion Weeps, Requia, Fiji remix + the one from the latest GTG.

Orga - Laptrancer is pretty badly pressed. I'd heard J00f spin Karma back in Avalon back in 03' and it sounded just fine to me. Would you imagine dropping rmx of Point Zero to an unruly and voracious trance throng?!

im actually not impressed by that at all.. alot of trance tracks were made on Atari, even my favorite track of all times, Systematic Parts - Deja Vu, were produced with Atari, and im guessing he uses hardware devices as well..

but this is interesting news indeed, people who stick to their equipment and not go over to software, tends to be able to make very "soulfull" music, ive only heard Sutra, and Electra by him.. and im sure to check out some other stuff as well..

Hard to say whether bad mastering has fucked theses up or, if its just been made shit,

- Orga vs. Red 1 - Forever (Love the tune, but damn its muddy and not clear at all)

- Diver & Ace - It's Not Over Now (Asture vs. Time OK Remix) (Thought MP3 Sample On BeatPort sounded nice, D/L it, and it's shit.)

- The Thrillseekers - 36 Weeks (But considering it was made ages ago, and I love all his other tunes. It's very forgivable.)

Some of you have no clue what mastering is

Posted by Lunar Phase 7 on Dec-22-2005 23:39:

Erm , yeah mate we do. But Sometimes it's hard to tell. Mastering can completly change the sound of the tune, and at times, its very hard to say if its just a poorly made tune, OR it was a well produced clean track, that some engineer has butchered cause he is either intoxicated or has crap in his ears or summet.

Posted by Subtle on Dec-23-2005 22:41:

the mastering is not the issue, its the mixing of the track, mastering cant save a poor mix..

Posted by lazy chick on Dec-23-2005 23:51:

dirty bass - emotional soundscape
anything by push atleast older stuff
three drives - sunset on ibiza (massive drive)

Luminary (Andy Moor Remix) was really shit mastered. My 192 kbits MP3 sounds better then the vinyl. Havent bought any LL since than.
