-> EAC -> Wavemerge 2.1 -> Adobe Audition 1.5 (Speed Correcting,
Editing, Manual Level Correction) -> Cubase SX3.0 (using
UAD Pultec EQ + Precision EQ/MB/LIM) -> CdWave -> FLAC (L6)

that will be covered in this series.
After compared the music with a generated 660 HZ tone
I corrected the speed with -0.18 semitones.
Channels were already in the right order.
*** About The Mastering
I attempted to get a 'natural' sounding remaster.
Not the kind that makes your ears bleed, nor that
kind that sounds heavily processed.
I never use Noise Reduction. Hate it.
But unfortunately some severe NR was used in the original
mastering of "Pure Rock Theatre".
So if you hear it, that's where it comes from...
I did some careful EQ-ing with the Pultec & the Precision.
I gave the whole thing a careful treatment with 5-band multiband
compression.
Because of the rough nature of the mixes, this gave the mix
more depth and less ear-clattering hi mids & ends.
I used two different mastering settings for the whole compilation,
to make the overall sound as good and similair as possible.
Then I used the Precision Limiter for some more volume,
but -again- very carefully.
A frequency analyses proved this to be lossless.
Enjoy Y'all !!
