Actually scratch that... I'm listening right now. What can I say? FUCKING MEGAPROPS WOW

much obliged

After seeking permission from Esselfortium I've uploaded the BOC Maxima remix tracks onto my Soulseek account. They have been labelled as *Trackname* REMASTERED to avoid any confusion. Let me know if this is OK.

My username on Slsk is domco77

Cheers!

Thanks man! Sounds pretty good!

Thank you. Excellent work!

Listening to it at the moment - A job well done, thank you!!

As expected of someone with an Evangelion avatar.

This sounds sweet PM me if i'm not too late in noticing this. Can't wait to hear it.

This is so fucking good. Major respect on this dude. This only reinforces my hope that they release their old stuff, remastered and sounding this good. Some of these tunes give me shivers whereas the old mp3s didnt do much for me due to the piss poor quality.

Thanks again.

Hehe, thanks. Keep in mind that most of the tracks on here only sound good because I used better recordings nabbed from other BoC releases. I think I was able to make the Maxima-exclusive tracks sound marginally better, but not "holy shit" good.

But thank you, I'm glad everyone is as happy with the result of this as I am.

Also, I'll send out PMs to the last few of you in the morning. I'm going to sleep now.

So can you describe what kind of enhancments you applied or techniques you used for the Maxima-exclusives?

EQing and a bit of high-end reverb, set differently based on whether it's a Maxima recording or an Old Tunes one, and also based on the song itself, to a certain extent. On some of the Old Tunes tracks I added a bit of chorus.

For M9, I set up some auto-panning to imitate the auto-panning in the original Maxima version that doesn't exist on the Old Tunes one (basically, it pans from left to right and back at a set speed).

For Carcan, I was faced with the tedious task of figuring out the perfect loop points to get a seamless loop of the exact right length, so that it would sync up with Nlogax in the same way as the original, without the cut-up voices from the Old Tunes version coming in.

This is excellent news (the remastering, not my delurking!).

Please esselfortium, would you PM me too?

awesome, this remaster sounds great. It's like rediscovering the album.

good work!
