Actually I don't deserve any credits as the volume was the most obvious to me when I had a brief "glimpse" on the music. I didn't notice that on the Film Score. When I started it on the PC I had to increase the volume on the amplifier which came as a surprise compared to the other alternative scores.
Actually, I didn't want to create another headache for ABC. Sorry!

Its really impressive to create such an improvement with restricted equipment! Why don't we get such clarity in the first place (the official version)? What kind of "expert" is working in the studio? Are they (Sony, Arista) aiming at a "baseline" sound for each kind of player: From discman to stereo equipment?
I mean: When I was a kid I played music on my ghettoblaster and was used to radio music with refrains. Epic recordings like "The End" by The Doors didn't get my attention then. When I got older my equipment changed to hi-fi, and "The End" was blowing me away with its volume changes. What I try to say: Has Sony tried to create an average mix to "satisfy" customer with ghettoblasters up to hi-fi equipment likewise? The London Symphony Orchestra included 100 musicians but we didn't get to hear the subtle tones created by the instruments?!

"It's a Sony" is getting an ironic tone thanks to ABC.
