All CDs created from analog sources are technically digitally remastered. įor example, a vinyl LP – originally pressed from a worn-out pressing master many tape generations removed from the "original" master recording – could be remastered and re-pressed from a better-condition tape. It tends to refer to the process of porting a recording from an analog medium to a digital one, but this is not always the case. Remastering is the process of making a new master for an album, film, or any other creation.

As CDs were a digital format, digital masters created from original analog recordings became a necessity. With digital recording, masters could be created and duplicated without incurring the usual generational loss. Although noise reduction techniques exist, they also increase other audio distortions such as azimuth shift, wow and flutter, print-through and stereo image shift. This means how much of the original intended "good" information is recorded against faults added to the recording as a result of the technical limitations of the equipment used (noise, e.g.
Previously, creating new masters meant incurring an analog generational loss in other words, copying a tape to a tape meant reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. With the advent of digital recording in the late 1970s, many mastering ideas changed.
The latter example usually requires the work of mastering engineers. This might be as simple as copying a tape for further duplication purposes or might include the actual equalization and processing steps used to fine-tune material for release. Thus, mastering refers to the process of creating a master. All vinyl records would derive from one of the master recordings. Often these interim recordings were referred to as mother tapes. Pressing masters for vinyl recordings would be created. More master recordings would be duplicated from the equalized master for regional copying purposes (for example to send to several pressing plants). A further master tape would likely be created from this original master recording consisting of equalization and other adjustments and improvements to the audio to make it sound better on record players for example. This tape was mixed to create a stereo or mono master. Musicians and vocalists were recorded on multi-track tape. As an example, examine the way a typical music album from the 1960s was created. Problematically, several different levels of masters often exist for any one audio release. a door opening, punching sounds, falling down the stairs, a bell ringing) might have been added from copies of sound effect tapes similar to modern sampling to make a radio play for broadcast. LP records, tapes, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays).Ī batch of copies is often made from a single original master recording, which might itself be based on previous recordings. The terms digital remastering and digitally remastered are also used.Ī master is the definitive recording version that will be replicated for the end user, commonly into other formats (e.g. Remaster refers to changing the quality of the sound or of the image, or both, of previously created recordings, either audiophonic, cinematic, or videographic.
