Dreaming Neon Black - Poor Production?

[NK]

It does sound like the extra level then I think. I would assume that smaller systems might suffer a bit from something like this. The album is in fact 100% clean (in terms of distortions/overloading etc) leaving the mastering stage.

I would compare this to the problems you sometimes get when you plug in an active bass guitar into an old amp that was designed before the active systems beame popular. The input stage to the amp usually has to be run at lower volume than when passive pickups are used or you can get some distorting somewhere in the line due to the extra output from the active pickups. It's an unfortunate thing I know, but newer systems can accomodate higher gain in the line. High digital levels can really crunch the front end of preamp systems in the same way. The "Dahmer" album by Macabre, however, is considerably louder than DNB and I've never heard anyone say anything similar about that album, which makes me think that something weird might have happened during the duplication phase. Perhaps the HDCD subcode got inadvertently ripped out at some stage and there's some weirdness resulting from that. Sadly, if that were the case, it would have been totally out of my control

Bullshit. I love the production on Dead Heart. The guitars and drums are great. Have you heard his work on Testament's The Gathering? Fucking great work there too.

I'd be curious to find out if the HDCD light comes on (for those with compatible players) when the CD is inserted.

Has anyone ever put this CD in an HDCD player to test this out? I have no such equipment.

I really like the production on Dreaming. I think it suits the music perfectly.

By the way, I'm referring to the original.

I love the production on Dreaming. Nice and bassy, powerful sounding

i think the cd sounds just fine to me. i like the bassier moments throughout all the discs. but i was honestly surprised this wasn't remastered.

i wonder if we'll ever see a 5.1 mix of dnb?

 

[flying_whale]

the poe remaster and tge have the best production, but clearly dnb is better produced than the self titled. I like the production on DNB, maybe it is because of the songs it has on it. And DHIADW, sounds very polished

 

[Mephistophiliac]

ehh, they could have lowered the bass a smidgen, it always sounds like my speakers are about to blow...

 

[AsModEe]

the production on Dead Heart is good, maybe a bit too polished for my tastes but eh I can live with it. DNB, I got the distortion problem too, but the awesomness of the songs compensates. My favorite album.

 

[neal]

the DNB production is excellent. that guitar tone! and the bass tone is awesome as well. these people are crazy!

I like the muddy production of the album.it goes well with its atmosphere.same with Politics album.in fact that's why I prefer Neil to Andy.it sounds to my unprofessional ears that Andy polishes the sound too much and lacks the emotion.but than again,that's just me.

Muddy?

 

[blind_cynic]

Muddy.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

Hot.

the only Nevermore cd where i found the production to be horrible was on the Kelly Gray version of Enemys of Reality. I harldy listend to that cd till the remasterd Andy Sneap Version came out now i know it by heart.
