ipod remastering

[bl.dozier]

hey, i have a ton of old records, older then myself on itunes / ipod. some of the content needs to be remastered actually the whole library needs to be remastered, anyone know of a shop, or program. do i need to really use audacity for each song. lmk.

What exactly are you looking to do? "Mastering" had a very specific meaning in audio engineering; and I don't think it means what you think it does.

[bl.dozier]

it means exactly what i wrote, move around man ! stalker... various audio tracks in my posession sound like they were recorded 75 years ago, which they where. most of the audio are from records or live recordings i'd like to have my ipod mastered for audio.
i see itunes has a program that needs to take EACH track remaster it for cleaner audio,
maybe with the thought that i could have the entire ipod remastered with a simple ENTER click, i posted here.

a program like audacity with i have, can be used to achieve this but at the expense of having to single file each track ( rerecord ) which is no trouble, just time consuming

Mastering starts with the mix ... which you don't have. So you're not going to be remastering anything.

Your iPod has a normalization function and gives you the option to normalize the whole library. It takes time, but it's automatic. That will get your levels to be reasonably well matched, at the expense of sound quality (which sucks on an iPod anyway, so no big deal).

There is no way to do what you want to do. You can't take a song that sounds like shit and magically make it sound better somehow.

that app does not let you "remaster", it just changes the EQ curve of the recorded file.

and yeah, it's not clear what you're trying to do here.

Holy fuck balls!

How old are you? Do you have more than a 3rd grade education? Judging by your lack of grammar/spelling/sentence structure, I think not.

I've been wondering the same thing about some movies I own.

I have a pretty good understanding of how the music/recording industry works as I've been around it for at least 25 years. I don't need Wikipedia to tell me what mastering is.

[Hint: it's not something you do on your iPod.]

No it wouldn't. And WTF is a "my an audio two tape" anyway?

More gibberish. Please see a Neurologist.

Send your ipod to me along with a $1,000. I can run everything through audacity for you. :roll::roll::roll:
