Nickelback – Dark Horse (Remastered DR11) [Unofficial]

Justice For Audio — Sat, 16 May 2009 09:51:03 +0000

Originally a DR4 & DR5 set of tracks – now “re-mastered” to a DR11-level – with my usual de-clipping treatment as well as dynamics changes and minor EQ alterations.

Something In Your Mouth

Note: Reduce volume on retail by approximately 6.0db during playback for equal loudness comparison

This album has been redone with the aim of bringing the presence of the music back in to focus and giving the overall album more life.

Originally a DR6 marginally clipped track – now “re-mastered” to a DR11-level – General dynamics treatments and so on.

A Rite of Passage

Note: Reduce volume on retail by approximately 6.3db during playback for equal loudness comparison

The level & dynamics in the DR12 version are now closer to that of previous albums such as Images & Words – So to enjoy to its fullest, please play on a standalone/dedicated audio system (non-portable – non-builtin) if possible – and turn it up a good bit. The impact, and the resultant attention it draws from the listener as a result of the increased dynamics and seperation of instrumentss helps make the song a lot more memorable & also interesting.

Thank you for visiting, this site aims at bringing awareness to the general public about a worrying and disasterous trend in modern recorded music, commonly dubbed “The Loudness Wars”. This is where music is being excessively compressed or “squashed” in terms of loudness so that a song is as loud as possible the entire way through.
