What piece of music do you wish could be remastered to make it much beter? And what would you change?

Submitted by ningfengrui t3_122kd9l in Music

Just realized that I wish I could remaster "Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen to better match the volume of the harmonica parts to the rest of the piece so that I wouldn't have to adjust the volume of my speakers everytime I listen to the damn song.

Edit: As u/Regel_Haribo kindly pointed out, the term I was looking for is apparently "remix" and not "remaster". Sorry for the confusion.

The whole Bat Out of Hell album by Meatloaf. Great music...but almost unlistenable (way too 'treble-y'). I can't get past the first cut and I have to turn it off.

You likely mean remix, requiring multitracks (stems). Remaster is making a new rendition of the stereo mixdown master.

I never realised that until you mentioned it, but your comment peaked my interest so I just listened to the album and now I definitely hear the "treble-ness" you mentioned (is there a term for that?). It sure could use a little base to balance it out.

I tried listening to And Justice For All with earbud headphones and it was so unpleasant due to the overly bright sound with no bass, that I gave up within a few minutes of listening to it.

The songs themselves are fine as proven by any live recording of them.

You can do this pretty easily in Audacity, turn up or down treble or bass. Done it a number of times on my mp3s to correct the tone.
