I can totally agree on that one. Once he's done recording and approves the final mix, he doesn't care how it's released, or if the supply meets the demand from fans, especially on the physical format...Jote wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 2:32 pmUsually it's multi-band stereo widening and moving those bands around the stereo field (randomly or not). That's what those plugins do, and that's what I'd expect, as frankly, "going the extra mile" is not Jarre's forte. Granted he's very nice to fans in person, but he doesn't seem to think about them that much while in the studio, when they are just some unidentified mass far far away.SF01 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 12:02 pm What would that post processing be, isolating bands in EQ, diminishing attenuating them in one channel and amplifying in the other to increase stereo width?
It's easier to upscale stereo source to 5.1 or mono source to fake stereo, but to change how the tracks are panned in stereo mix to widen it to diffrent double mono, I can't imagine that, or I just might not have eough experience in mixing multitrack-recordings.

Why? Just because a limited edition (which was not even interesting to begin with) was... limited?
1. Because the limit is 50 copies, unlike the Eon, or Electronica which were 2000 and 1000 copies respectively.
Allow me to speculate: EōN isn't selling well at all. It likely generated enormous losses if they decided to do just 50 this time - the rarity itself makes people more willing to open their wallets quickly.
High-res audio is incredibly overrated. According to science (CD was designed as 44/16 for a very good reason). What we need is gentler mastering, not some bogus high-res audiovoodoo.3. Lack of Blu-Ray with high-res Stereo LPCM, Binaural LPCM and surround LPCM
Well, the truth is that the market will happily purchase anything as long as it has the name of their current deity stickered on it. As you see it worked just fine - the market ate that limited edition with a spoon, mission accomplished.I have nothing against limited editions, but it should be at least a little bit more adjusted to the market needs.
Yeah, that too.

Just curious: would you really be interested in getting it given that you are basically paying for the signature and a privilege of owning something rare?
