Streaming Tool in High Resolution!

[mkrzych]

Looking at the DR loudness database for Lateralus and Aenima they are pretty much similar in dynamics to the original CD versions. Lateralus has slightly better dynamics, but it's just a wee. 

 

How does it sound in high resolution guys, anyone could check and post the spectogram to see if those 24/96 files are legit please?

another thing is that downloads don't have booklets of course :-( Undertow is different in DR than the original CD more than other albums.

There is a discussion of course of SH forum: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/tool-planning-to-remaster-and-reissue-all-of-their-albums-for-vinyl-release.689866/page-24#post-21800705

 

It seems that the most improvement people are hearing on Lateralus. Also looking at the spectrogram those files are rather legit.

Thanks Krzysztof,

 

I'm a Tool fan, but I lamented the original CD releases were not the best examples for dynamic range. With each release, you could hear and see (through spectral analysis) the increasing use of multiband compression to increase perceived loudness. It would be nice if the 24 bit remasters could be given more dynamic range to increase the impact of the drums and the edge of the guitars, but the DR numbers I've seen thus far don't look promising. 

 

Indeed, numbers are not so much promising (though it's just numbers ;-) - Aenima is the most dynamic I guess. Haven't checked 10000 Days, but from the spectral analysis I've seen to the latter one it should be legit.
