Hm. That was fast. It appears ROTP has lots of clearly audible detail above 2khz, and it appears IMO that the missing clinking sounds can only be explained away by a near-complete lack of frequency response above 2khz, ergo… different mix!
I think so, at least. Man, I wish I had a better audio background so I could make sweeping statements like that with more confidence.
But I haven’t even listened to the whole thing. Maybe the Emperor will say “I’ll get you, my pretties!” and it’ll make the whole thing much more obvious.
