If you really think converting them to 32bit float And gently mastering them with new technology is a bad thing, then load them into pro tools and check the mastering Its old mastering, the headroom available now is far superior. Why you think Led Zeppelin have just done it (from the originals yawn god im getting bored) All they have done is basically what i have done
HoHum - alas what Page did with the Zep stuff is revisit the original tapes (pre analog masters) and applied new mastering techniques to those ... that is I am afraid very different to taking mastered commercial product or even low-fi mp3 versions and then doing some digital tweaks - and please please leave the head-room alone - I personally prefer dynamic range than perceived loudness .. If you feel creative Lucy - lets have something original from you please !! s.
