if it's about music, it might have been remastered analogically (with tapes) when the album first came out

@Doomed_Daniel @sol_hsa Not remastered at all because it's the original version for peasants!

(In the context of music anyway, it kinda sounds like most everything since the late 70s has been digital because it was so much cheaper. Even when the result was destined for tape or vinyl.)

@slembcke @sol_hsa
digital in the late 70s or even in the 80s?
wouldn't that have been a lot of data for the those days standards, if you have (at least) one track per instrument etc?

@Doomed_Daniel @sol_hsa Sure, but it wasn't done on computers with floppy disks. It was all tapes. Even with 70s tech you could put a song's worth of data onto a reel of digital tape, while processing it over and over without losing quality. You couldn't do that with analog, so it made mastering much more expensive.
