Michael Jackson - Bad (Mastered
Clarine Diciano
The CD of 2001 was remastered, the sound balance was changed to attenuate a little the highs in order to allow a reinforcement of the bass which is also helped by the compression of dynamics. The rendering is thus less brilliant than the CD of 1991 with a base in the bass more important.
Thriller was reissued on October 16, 2001, in an expanded set, Thriller: Special Edition. The album is remastered and includes a new booklet and bonus material, including the songs "Someone in the Dark", "Carousel" and Jackson's original "Billie Jean" demo, as well as audio interviews with Jones and Temperton.[18][143] Sony also hired sound engineer and mixer Mick Guzauski[144][145] to create 5.1-channel surround sound mixes of Thriller and Jackson's other albums for the Super Audio CD format, but Jackson did not approve the mixes.[146] Consequently, Thriller was issued on SACD only in a stereo version.[147] A surround sound version of Thriller would not be realized until November 2022, when Sony created and released 360 Reality Audio and Dolby Atmos mixes of Thriller for Amazon Music and Apple Music respectively in honor of the album's 40th anniversary.[148]
Background: In 1980, Columbia Records introduced their Mastersound series, which included titles that were either digitally remastered or half speed mastered and pressed on heavy, high-quality vinyl.
Dynamics like this were commonplace in the pre-digital era, when people bought albums on vinyl, and no one ever said something like Gee, this album was mastered way quieter than the last one we played.
Here is a mastered version of the original 'Blood On The Dance Floor' acapella. I used the multitracks vocal tracks and added some EQ and Reverb on it. This includes the background vocals of the song.
Marcel Marceau, the great French mime who for seven decades mastered silence and brought new life to an ancient art form, has died. He was 84. Mr. Marceau died Saturday in Paris, French news media reported, citing his former assistant, Emmanuel Vacca. The cause of death was not disclosed.
While the re-mastered catalog, its first overhaul since 1987, is seen appealing mainly to Beatles' fans who would appreciate subtle variations and improvements that technology has brought, most excitement surrounds MTV's video game.
