Hi
I bought the U2 CD "best of 1980-1990" and I'm not happy with the sound. It is mastered by Arnie Acosta and it's written on the back of the CD that he did his best with the material that he had. I re-mastered the first 3 songs "I will follow, New Year's day and Sunday bloody Sunday" and it sounds better on my sound system. For example, the RMS volume of Sunday bloody Sunday went from .2027 to .3045, there is a little less reverb and the sound is more up-front. I was wondering what are the limitations of the professionals and why Arnie didn't compress more those U2 songs ? I guess the mastering professionals have to keep the integrity of the mixes ?
Thanks,
Jack Real.
