I had a listen to Pink Floyd's 'Learning to Fly' on YT that has been remixed in the new Sony mixing software mentioned previously. It's awful. A piece of music I am intimately familiar with sounds terrible when done this way. New music could benefit from this process but please leave the classics alone. You would not repaint the Mona Lisa now would you? A lot of elements in the mix are clearer and you can hear more detail but they just don't blend together with the other bits. It's not cohesive to me at all. Special effects can definitely benefit from this process but leave the main instruments alone. They are perfect the way they are. Just because something is new does not mean it is better.
