RE: But. . . but. . . you can have minimalist microphoning with digital too

The thing that I've found out is that an enormous amount of "Remastered"
early recording biggest flaws are not related to the Original recordings
but the "heavy handed Remastering process" that may have been used.

The thing that just "blows me away" is how relatively simple it is to
"erase" this misguided processing "veil" that is sitting on top of these recordings. To be honest it is unfair to attach too much blame to how these recordings were Remastered as they were trying to produce a product that had to fit a "Universal" playback standard. (which sat in place & was'nt revised to keep pace with technology advances as they became available; reminds you of outdated laws does'nt it ?).

Jump ahead to the present time where most of us have access to PCs & it's now a totally different "ballgame". It's no longer a matter of what "can't" done but learning how to use this personal tool to do things in a home setting that professionals back in the '60s could'nt fathom we'd be
able to do. The technology you have sitting in front of you is more "powerful" then the tech that was used to create the Digital Remasters of the Analog Recordings. I find that most of the time Digital that came from Analog responds fantastically beyond where I thought it could.

Basically you have to be willing play around with different means of changing the "Digital" properties of the music files, some of these may
be the only reason you can't see the "Forrest for the Trees". It goes without saying you should archive the source file losslessly ,should your efforts not be to your liking... You can try it again,until you find a result that works

(This sounds like "Crazy Audiophile" talk not "Music Lover" talk; Really this stuff is not that hard & worth every second of the effort when the characteristics of what you remembered of many recordings gain back a similar sense of Musicality to them)
