Finally I got some time to do a compare on "Everybody wants to rule the World" from Tears for Fears.
The first track I ripped from the original album "Songs from the big chair" (1985), from now on the "Original" ; the second from Ready Player One_Songs from the Motion Picture (2018), from now on the "New Release". I imported both in Audacity.
Then I selected just the left tracks from both. Measurement with the Contrast Analyser :
Original -17,88 db
New Release -13,26 db
With the amplify tool I amplified the original to the rms of the New Release.
Because I had not selected that clipping was allowed I got an amplified Original track with -16,27 db.
I then amplified the Original track with another 3 db to have the same rms on both tracks.
After that I inverted the Original and selected both tracks; then from the "Tracks" menu chose " Mix and Render" to compare the two. The result was nothing, ie both tracks were identical.
Summarizing: the track " Everybody wants to rule the World" from the cd "Ready Player One the songs from the motion picture" was taken from the 1985 master and amplified by 4,62 db.
Unfortunately the track was amplified by 1,61 db beyond clipping point.
Good thing there are tools to measure this.
This track in particular sounded quite impressive on first listen to me.
Next I'll do a compare between Rihanna's "Shut up and drive" from her cd "Good girl gone bad- Reloaded" with the song from the motion picture "Wreck it Ralph".
