The audio industry has seen many technical innovations since Band
on the Run was first released on vinyl in 1973, the most notable
being digital recording. However, with the introduction of CD came
two advances, “de-noising” and “peak limiting” which have become
increasingly unpopular within certain areas of the music industry and
amongst audiophiles.
De-noising was introduced to remove the inherent sound, or hiss,
associated with analogue tape. The amount of processing used to
remove tape noise can be varied, but when used excessively, many
believe that it also has a detrimental effect on elements of the musical
sound.
Peak limiting is a process that increases the loudness of music. It is
achieved by holding the loudest peaks down and raising the overall
level of the music. Much depends on the amount of limiting applied,
but at its most extreme the result can be a serious reduction in the
dynamic range and often audible distortion.
The release of The Beatles’ remasters in 2009 saw a marked change
in attitudes towards these issues, where both noise reduction and
limiting were used sparingly with the aim of representing the master
tapes more accurately.
Such is the case with the newly remastered CD of Band on the Run:
tape noise reduction has scarcely been used and the degree of limiting
is subtle. In addition digital technology has advanced with the
ability now to offer recordings in 24 bit/96kHz. The high resolution
version is being made available via download and is being offered in
two formats: limited, which is comparable in volume to the remastered
CD, and un-limited, which in comparison with the limited version
will sound quieter, but retain the dynamic range of the original
master recording.
