Why we still push even though we have GH3

[kebab]

Anyone know why the moderus release is any better than any other version?

I have the covak release and it is excellent. The sound is exactly what the xbox puts out digitally, whereas the moderus release is a remaster, and in my opinion it would be a bad thing to try to fiddle with the sound.

Yes, my version clips. Does it distort? No.

Why?

Because some people still can't seem to grasp the concept of what clipping is. Just because a signal is clipped doesn't mean the audio is completely destroyed. In most cases, the clipping that is occurring on my mix are random spikes here and there or during certain sections where the music gets louder.

See what I just wrote?
My mix has the ability to noticeably get louder and quieter during different sections. It's also mixed as close to the retail sound as possible, while also attempting to retain the loudness of the retail, WITHOUT the distortion that comes from OVER-clipping the signal.

Clipping is distortion, always.

Making a song louder does not make it sound better.

I have the covak release and it is excellent. The sound is exactly what the xbox puts out digitally, whereas the moderus release is a remaster, and in my opinion it would be a bad thing to try to fiddle with the sound.

You are correct. The unaltered version sounds great, and there is no alteration that can be made that will make it sound better - only different.

The main issue with the GH3 version is that it uses a lossy codec. The good news is GH3's source was the digital mixed master recording, which means there does exist a lossless, high sampling rate, uncompressed version of this album. Whether it will ever be made available to buy, though, is another matter...
