Since many of the older underground Memphis releases were largely unmixed, I have taken the liberty of somewhat remastering each cassette when I rip and upload the audio in pursuit of perfectly archiving my collection.
This mainly consists of adjusting certain levels such as the bass, mids, and highs, as well as sometimes making cuts to the audio and adjusting the volume of specific tracks, interludes, or segments.
The few rips I still have up on my new YouTube channel demonstrate this. For example, Soul Takers may have a jump in hiss or volume after one track, as I am now making sure each song is loud enough or quiet enough.
Prior to me remastering them, many of these tapes had crazy inconsistencies in the overall loudness and mix.
While some may think this might ruin the experience of hearing the raw rip. I am really just doing this to bring up some of the more quieter parts of a tape.
