Okay I�ve taken the Recording Sessions for Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull and Mastered the files like I would a normal release....I�m hoping the sound quality is much improved and also The tracks are louder than the original upload.....but anyone looking for Hans Zimmer type brickwalling it ain�t here....the quiet parts are quiet and the loud parts are loud but not clipped not Brickwalled....all dynamics have been preserved.....
These are the original mp3 320kbts....they haven�t been transcoded or anything..........Unfortunately there�s no lossless source for these Recording Sessions

Great post, thanks!!!

Thank you Rocklegend. This is just what was needed. Cheers!

I have the previous Indy 4 recording session release. Will definitely give this a listen and compare. Thanks!

Two questions:

1. How'd you "master" mp3s without re-encoding the files?
2. Does this include the source music that was added to jacksparrow900's "film version" of the score?

OP must be one of those people thinks 'mastering' means 'amplifying the tracks that needed amplifying'. I've seen elsewhere discussions that expand on this matter: 'mastering' involves a lot than simply amplifying a couple tracks. Come to think of it, if he was the one doing the mastering, we should also be able to find his name listed somewhere in the credits for the soundtrack or the film! Even if he had done more than just amplifying a few tracks, the correct term here is remastering.

I don't get why this forum needs so many clones of a big score when it first comes out. I mean all the clones are sourced from the original upload--it's not like there's normally new material to be found on the fan edits. Why don't we all just listen to the music as it is presented to us, and if we want to hear on different terms we can do that all on our own..?

Simple: a remastered edition might play like an official, expanded CD. IMO this provides a better listening experience compared to their raw form where there might be numerous alternates, takes or versions of one piece following each other. This gets unnerving very soon so I always enjoy versions such as this. Ask yourself: do we really need ten versions of just one piece? Besides, on most recording sessions the files are not mastered, meaning not equalized which in effect reduces potential sonic advantages. A remastering (or in your words a "clone") could get rid of all those shortcomings.

Kudos to the OP for not re-encoding the files but using a non-harmful approach instead! I like this.

Thanks. There did tend to be a bit of hiss during the quiet parts of the original files.

Thanks!

Thank you. very much for this. :)

There's not much point to this as the files sound pretty much like the Concord release anyways.

Except for the normalized volume.

Yeah, but that's hardly remastering. That's just plain old volume adjustment.

Obviously he did something to it other than the volume.

Yes, but you can't drag better sound quality out of thin air, at least not without expensive tools. Believe me, I tried, then I ditched the sound because it sounded rather synthetic. It's probably basic bass/treble adjustment. My point is the sound quality was practically in-line with the Concord release.

does everybody get asked to pay for the deposit account? Many thanks to uploader btw

thanks uploader

Many thanks!

Yes I did do more than just turn a volume knob.....What I first did was to eq the tracks and to remove the muddiness and some of the hiss that were on the recording sessions....then I raised the volume by about 3db which then I applied a Channel Bus compressor.....compressed the tracks and increased the output gain because when you compress it reduces volume....also what the compressor does is bring life into the tracks makes the tracks fuller....I then added a Limiter....to control the peaks but not to brickwall anything....oh before the limiter I applied a Stereo expander to widen the stereo field....this was done sublety....

Not to sound full of myself and I'll probably get lambasted for saying this but I have and use very expensive plugins....about 5,000dollars worth from both Waves and UAD..........The room that I record and Master in is a sonically controlled room and my reference monitors are neutral sounding.....not coloured....and it's not because I'm an Audiophile snob but music is what I do............

Oh and Your Man With The Golden Gun was fantastic.....Kuddos
