Prince's Dynamic Range album list

This is very cool and shows the quality range of albums according to sound tests. A lot of artist albums are in this website though.

well well, the Black Album has the goods for a decent "fan remaster" since the range is there.

Crystal Ball is brickwalled.

Gutted, even.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Right so, ratings for Dynamic Range (DR)
Average, Min, Max

Purple Rain Deluxe CD1 2017 lossless:
07, 05, 09

Purple Rain 1984 lossless CD:
13, 11, 15

Purple Rain 1984 [US WB # 1-25110] lossless vinyl:
14, 12, 16

Might be worth seeking out the original vinyl/CD rather than using up $22.99 of hard earned cash for the November 12th Target release.
There may or may not be something coming!

The bad thing about the PR remaster is Prince did that himself clipping included. I still like it better than the original CD

Not exactly shocking, literally every CD since Gold Experience was like a masterclass on brickwalling.

All the original 80s CDs sound either better or basically the same as their remaster equivalent when applicable. Use a dynamic EQ, they're all solid transfers of the mastertapes.

IIRC, the worst was The Breakdown which has a DR of 3.
Many tracks on Lotus Flower have a DR of 4.

I knew there was something wrong with Breakdown. It clips especially by the end. Something wrong with the drums being too loud.
