    I used to get some work by "brickwallhater" and "unmasters" (or something like that). Some albums were more successful than others. I don't see their work around anymore but I may not be looking in the right places. (I never knew how they did what they did.)

    @Dino Yep, I've trouble wrapping my head how these magicians get any dynamic range out of these pancake-flat releases. Not unless they've access to the original mix or something.

    Ceremonials is still a great listen, but I'll be damned if people get me to say I like what they did with it in post. Gah.

    Theres a VST plugin called Stereotool which I discovered lately. It has a ton of cool stuff like natural dynamics section and declipper which work well for restoring digital brickwalled stuff. I've used it with Fab Filter and Waves plugins "restoring" some metal records which sounded like flat ass with great results.

    If you want, you can link me the .rar containing the album or a song I could see what I can do and send you back the results.

    That... is rather questionable, but I really am tempted to push through with it. Agh :))

    Yeah I understand lol I wouldn't have time for it at least till weekend anyway so yeah. In any case here's the tool if you want to mess around with it, it's free too. https://www.stereotool.com/download/ You can use it with Audacity which is also free. :)

    Oh, thanks! Might be fun to tinker with it myself, just to get a feel for the tool. Sigh, I'm trying not to get my hopes up cuz I've got way too many poorly-mastered albums that I otherwise love. Perhaps I'm not as persnickety about it as many others on here, but I've got standards dammit! :))
