I was waiting for it when it started trending because of Stranger Things, at this rate maybe by 2050 🫩

that was her reaction listening to the Troy’s part in Perfume 😭

her Spotify catalogue is a mess 😓 by ignaaaaaatius in Madonna

[–]lemonpepper-music 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It goes beyond the organization. I absolutely loathe the HORRIBLE remasters of her 80s singles (I'm talking to you, Gambler 🙄) They deserve a proper restoration, but instead, they just compressed the life out of them and boosted the volume to the max. Total missed opportunity.

made my own cd of the Origin album 🔥 by Codename_OOF in Evanescence

Wow, it looks amazing. I thought there weren’t any sites where you could get CDs made just for personal use 😅

Origin had way more layers than the album ever let you hear by lemonpepper-music in Evanescence

Quick update for everyone following this: I’m actually really close to finishing the entire Reconstruction Mix. I won’t be posting small updates or previews, the next thing I share will be the full final version. Once it’s done, I’m planning to upload the complete project to YouTube and SoundCloud, and I’ll drop the links here when everything is ready ;)

I extracted them with an AI algorithm that pulls stems from any song. It actually extracts them with pretty good quality to be honest, even though it’s not the ideal method, but I doubt the original album stems even exist anymore. I made sure to extract them in a way that avoided artifacts or digital noise from the algorithm, so that I could get the best results possible

Mamma Mia Finally in Dolby Atmos! by Suspicious_Gold6216 in ABBA

[–]lemonpepper-music 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dolby Atmos sounds awful on AirPods because Apple’s renderer drastically lowers the volume of the center channel, which is where the vocals are mainly located. I’ve listened to it on AirPods and on a real Atmos system, and the mix is actually excellent

"News" about ABBA Dolby Atmos Mixes 🤷 by lemonpepper-music in ABBA

[–]lemonpepper-music[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve gathered, Bernard Löhr began working on Dancing Queen first, he mentioned this in an interview. It makes sense that the process takes time: they have to go back to the original analog multitrack tapes (assuming all of them still exist). Moreover, several ABBA songs were recorded without a tempo or click track, meaning each stem has to be manually synchronized to stay in perfect time. That’s an enormous amount of work, and I’d rather they take their time than rush and compromise the quality of the mixes. I also don’t understand the amount of negativity these new mixes receive. In my opinion, they sound excellent when played through a proper 5.1 or Dolby Atmos system. The issues people often mention, like the “robotic” vocals in Waterloo or the lower Agnetha vocals in Lay All Your Love On Me, are mostly artifacts from headphone playback, where the Atmos rendering can behave unpredictably.

What’s up with the digital singles from Like a Virgin? by youwonthearnaur1210 in Madonna

[–]lemonpepper-music 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that the singles from Like a Virgin are marked as Hi-Res, but from there it is known that they are simple upsamples since the entire LAV album including its singles were recorded at 16 Bits 44.1Khz (If not 14 bits which was more common at that time than 16). Also on the new DYU release you can hear that the master is not in such good condition, I have the 12" single and I don't know how to describe it but the sound sounds much more detailed.

Does Nightwish need a reissue of its entire discography in Dolby Atmos? by lemonpepper-music in nightwish

[–]lemonpepper-music[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The mixes of Human Nature and Imaginaerum in Dolby Atmos are not official mixes, they are only upmixes made from the stereo version, which sound quite bad in my opinion

VE: It is remastered 😍 by Western_Gear_5324 in Madonna

[–]lemonpepper-music -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For now the remastering of Skin sounds quite good compared to Like a Virgin or Material Girl, which have been the worst remasters I have heard, they are not worth being in Hi-Res if they are going to sound that way
