I wonder if 2.0 WTS is remixed/remastered somewhat to sound sonically better...that would be nice, and they are aware of the negative feedback! (Ahem, I got blocked by Elvis on Twitter for some gentle constructive feedback)

So a couple of weeks or so after my last EQ job, personal version 5.2, I have to say- for me- I have freaking knocked this one out of the park. It's open, the bass kick that DROVE ME INSANE is tight and controlled, I can hear the actually bassline, Mark's solos and guitar work suddenly are meaty and...

I'm glad you like it, remember I'm just an amateur enthusiast who wants to hear the music fully. I don't want to change the ART. I'm using Audacity 2.1, current is 2.3.3, maybe I should update???? Wouldn't make a functional difference here, though. I used the "Amplify" feature, -5db to red...

Update, I've made a better version for my ears, erased the muddy bass kick and made it more impactful and tight. Opened up the upper range a bit. Can hear the music much better. I know the album is now 6-7 months old, and maybe no one cares, but this mix kills my original mix, and embarrasses the or...

So after not listening to anything but my most recent EQ(end of page 3), I went back and relistened to the original mix. I was half expecting to think I had been crazy all along and embarassingly wrong. To my surprise, I was even more shocked at the poor quality of the original mix and the success o...

It's very very hard to hear the riffs due to the production, in particular the overpowering kick drum.

Just had "Read Between The Lines" by Slash come on my stereo... If only we could enjoy the Tremonti solos as much as the Slash ones. Slash is highlighted in the mix, not hidden. Sure, you can hear them on WTS, but it's not on display to showcase the brilliance. Hello, new to AB Nation, tha...

Graphic, Filter Length 1013. Green line @ -7db.

I find eq's work better in reverse, more room. Then, you just adjust volume.

Good luck.

For comparison, here's the new Clint Lowery solo single that came out today, also produced and engineered by Elvis and Jef. What's the verdict on their work here? https://youtu.be/xugaB6oiAb4 Could never tell from a video- even the Wouldn't You Rather video mix is different than the release...and I...

Many of the above points support my original point- the kick drum is overpowering the mix. I, for one, like to randomize a few cd's, but couldn't achieve this without the EQ job I updated on the end of page 3. It'd be cool if someone took the time/care to try even one song based on my updated eq jo...

Okay, I've uploaded a link to EQ files for Audacity if any of you want to use them to try. I've ripped WTS to FLAC, opened in Audacity, applied these EQ potions, and enjoyed. This is likely my final attempt at polishing the turd of WTS production. Honestly, to me, I think I did a pretty decent job.....

I don't see a problem still working with Baskette, but a new sound guy is needed. Listen to Myles on the Slash record Living The Dream, the band sounds great, full, powerful, clear. Why shouldn't we experience that for AB?

Thanks for the Steven Wilson link, I'll look into that. I always appreciate good production skills. I'm going to adjust my eq job today a bit, I think it might be just a bit bright. However, yesterday as a test, I loaded the original CD in my system...just atrocious comparatively. I found "A Dy...

I do think Elvis has a significant hand in creating great songs, I mean, what a track record since Blackbird. However, they desperately need a new engineer(or person just in charge of making the band sound great).

If you have Spotify premium, there’s a built in 6-band EQ that’s fairly useful if you want the bass tamed some. It’s all a personal preference imo. I wouldn’t necessarily tweet Elvis about it lol, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using an EQ to your liking. No offense, but using Spotif...

I appreciate the attempts at improvement, but personally I feel the music is what it is. The band put it out that way, and that's the way they want it done so I'm happy to live with it as they see fit. I don't know, on one hand I can see how, once a band releases something, they're putting it out i...

Yes, Fair Warning is up there with the best sounding recordings I have. Just wow, and it was 1981! We should be at least as good now, not regressing. As for One Day Remains, very clear production to me, adding some bass with EQ would be super easy, I just have never had the need. I think it has enou...
