The graphic below is a zoom of the waveform of the Ed2 Digital files. This is clearly visible here in the yellow area, where more of the signal is at its maximum. As often, the remastering consists in compressing more the dynamics. It is a remastered version compared to the CD version released in 1993. The graphic below represents the Ed2 Digital files. The graph below represents the CD version, we find here less dynamics than the vinyl with zone where the compression is visible (yellow zone). This is surprising from Dire Straits and their rather dynamic style of music.

There is no sign of level limiting, but the whole thing remains packed without showing much dynamics. The graph below represents the album in vinyl version. The waveform represents all the 4 tracks of the album. Part 2 : Waveform and dynamic comparaisons Waveform This is the original CD released in 1993.
