    I got you with the DM.

    I don't want to burden you but a better master of the alt 2013 mix would be better on the V3. It's just way more ambitious. Unfortunately also unfinished and has orchestra blips/messups.

    I think all the strings dont really fit it tbh

    It's been 26 years since Illmatic (though this was recorded mostly in 2012).

    illmatic still sounds timeless

    yea. i think a fanmade “remaster” (which btw you can’t remaster something without access to the stems) that “fixes” the panning is pointless for this. it’s literally meant to sound this way

    nah, mastering doesn't involve stems at all, if any audio production involves doing anything with the stems then its mixing. As long as u have the unmastered audio u can master it

    If Jay dropped ACT II in 2012, we would've had 3 of the strongest debuts in music (in the 2010's) come during the same year

    • Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
    • Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid
    • Jay Electronica - Act II

    It's pretty obvious he put a lot of work in over the last 8 years toward creating great music that stands by itself. Glad AWT was his debut and not this

    from what i understand, remastering fixes the volumes of certain elements of the song (bass, kicks, snares, vocals, piano, etc.) to be as consistent (or loud, thanks to Dr. Dre) as possible when compared to other music in the general soundscape. EQing and adjusting the panning or volume on the entirety of a song without access to each specific track wouldn’t be remastering it, it would just be EQing it
