This is my biggest complaint about that release, it's just way too loud and uncomfortable to listen to. Which is such a shame, because the music is so great! But the mastering ruins the listenability of the music, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 For a while I had a custom edit of Galaxy Quest that used the composer promo where possible and the LLL to fill in the gaps.

I tried playing around with it last night and the waveform was still brickwalled. Turning up the "Shape" knob just added some weird distortion in the louder parts.

That is something I've thought about before - I wonder if it's possible, for scores where lossy sources exist but without dynamic range compression (for example lossy leaks, or videogames files) - if it would be possible to use the dynamic range data from the lossy source and apply it to the lossless one.

Would you be able to accurately unbrickwall the lossless cue? I've attempted something similar before. Hypothetically it's possible, but you'd have to make sure the sources sync up 100% or you'll still get phasing. The spectrogram might look a little goofy too. You can actually also use this method and invert to hear the distortion that the brickwalling causes. distortion.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That big batch of Trek I ordered, they crammed them all into a box that was too small, and the result of that was three cases with busted teeth on multiple trays. The bunch of Friday the 13ths I got today, they sent me Part 1 instead of Part 2. Sheesh. I finally got the replacement Friday Part 2... I don't even know how a case gets warped like that. The disc plays fine, though, and I just used the case from the F13 Part 1 (which they let me keep).
