I was under the impression that the re-master was done on the ARC Studio. I would have to hear them both at the same volume, louder always wins; right? t First one is my mix.. Second one is done by a professional mastering engineer. I hear more details on my new ARC system. I have level matched both tracks myself.. I was wondering what people hear. I havnt said it... but I prefer my own mix.. which surprised me. You can see by the tonal profile posted there is not much in it (except matching for CD loudness.. and going through some analogue mastering gear) But I come away as a happy bunny as my tonal profile is near to a top mastering engineer 🙂 Edited April 6 by garybrun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said not a lot of difference but I'm not listening on my best headphones today so could be way off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multimedia ARC Studio and believe I am hearing more details in my Focal Trio 6's. I would value your thoughts and comments -------------- I really like your vocal on this one. I have no new input on the mix - it sounds well done to me. The orchestral parts are well done in the mix. Steve Thanks in advance, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'm back - I just listened to the versions you have side by side. For the remastered one, the vocal is much more present in the mix. I like how that sounds when it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Joad Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 God, my Mother played Roger Whittaker's version to death, so I'm going to say throw a dart and pick a version they are all good. I like the way your voice broke up.👍🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The soundcloud version does have a better overall EQ feel to me. I have hearing aids too. I keep them in while listening on Sennheiser HD600s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Gary, I actually like either version which just shows that there are many interpretations of a classic that are viable. I use ARC 3 software; I wonder if there's a big enough difference in the hardware version vs. the software version of ARC to be worth upgrading to. You have proven the worth of the system! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a lot of difference I don't think. I was a Sonarworks user but wasn't quite into the workflow. ARC System 4 gives me the things I need. I don't have to engage a plugin to listen to Spotify or other stuff nor forget to switch it off. Its always corrected. To be honest I nearly bought the Trinitov... but couldn't justify it as I'm hobby based and don't make a living out of this,. just love good sound and music. Thanks for the listen and comments mate.
