Today
TheMasterdiskRecord.com posted a short Q&A with remastering engineer Andy VanDette. Andy discusses remastering the Atlantic catalog, as well as his thoughts on the original Vapor Trails mixes.
“Vapor Trails. I remember hearing it before it came out, and thinking 'Wow, I guess this is why I will never work with Rush.' The snare and vocal were so overshadowed by low end....I see why they had a hard time remastering the original mixes. So much of their energy is in the bottom octave 20-40Hz. You can roll it off, but so much of the mixes’ punch came from that. It was just mixed that way. The David Bottrill remixes are very well balanced and musical."
