I have that "remastered by Iggy" version of Raw Power and it's appalling - can't even listen to it it's so distorted, and you don't need any graphs to tell yagood article in today's Guardian about remastering hell.
If you have any stereo image/expander/whatever type plug-ins have a look at them. I have a nice one from MDA (old Mac Os9 one) that really widens the image, suddenly the vocal, or anything down centre, has a more distinct ammount of space and it really picks out small details in the mix and reverbs and stuff... it's easy to get carried away with it, but it's a great tool.
The argument against them is that they can cause problems when you go to Mono, but in this day and age unless your looking for radio play, does it matter? But worth keeping an eye on as you.
Worth seeing if anything like that is available to you
i believe i have some of those things but ive found in the past that these things (compressors, eq, stereo stuff etc) sound good at first but i always end up taking them off again (or wishing i did). probably because i dont really know what im at with them...
crikey I don't either! but I've just spent long enough twiddling with them to know which ones I like at which settings... I find that Stereo stuff can sort out the sludge when needs be (though it could be argued if I was a better recorder I'd have no sludge to sort out)
I know what you mean though, the best thing you can do for a mix or a master, is come back the next day with fresh ears... the ammount of times I've mistaken "good" for "I've stuck a rotating speaker effect over the entire mix just to break up the tedium of listening to this thing on repeat for the last four hours"
