When an album is remastered, what exactly is going on? I’ve heard some that sound pretty much the same to me. Is it just a cash grab? What is going on?
Today all new recordings are digital but back in the day artists would record on a magnetic master tape before being converted into vinyl. These magnetic master tapes were the best tech at the time but quite poor by today's standard full of hiss and dropouts.
With remastering you first convert the original Master into digital then you can enhance the recording removing hiss and adding missing data.
