Here’s the Makaveli demo that leaked over the 4th of July weekend, remastered by me (surprise, surprise). While it sounds a lot better, there’s no escaping the fact this was a partially mixed demo, probably thrown on some DAT tape that’s been sitting in a moldy cardboard box deteriorating for the past 15 years. Some songs sound pretty good, others sound just OK.
There were several songs I didn’t even bother with because they sounded fine (comparatively) as they were: Bomb First, Blasphemy and Against All Odds. The rest received varying degrees of work. I didn’t add any compression to several of the tracks because they just couldn’t take it (ex. To Live and Die in LA, Friends) and as far as clarity goes, some songs rose to the challenge while others could only be pushed so far. I made everything sounds less muddy, but in some instances in doing so poor mixing and audio deterioration became more noticeable.
In any case, there are 4 songs on zshare to check out below. These are the four that sound best (I considered only uploading these, to be honest). The winner here is Watch Ya Mouth; it sounds GREAT. Very happy with it—best sounding on the whole album. Nice and loud, clear, punchy low end…very good. You can throw this on your retail and it should fit in just fine. 2 live and Die in LA sounds pretty great too. Even though there is not much new, I love the little transitional intro. White Manz World has a different beat, it’s cool, sounds better. And finally, Friends.. not studio CDQ which sucks, but it sounds better any anything else out there. I wish a properly mixed studio quality version would leak already but I digress.
Like before, listen to the samples then reply in this thread and I’ll shoot you a link. If you feel like it, throw me a rep or two :)

Very nice work. Watch Ya Mouth is very clear. Please can you pm me a link to the whole remaster?
-
Thanks Efrain for always coming through with the bomb remasters
-
no disrespect but when you say REMASTERED, you mean that you used an EQ to adjust the levels !....if it sounds mono/muffled you would raise the treble and lower the bass/sub, or if it sounds to high pitched you would lower the treble and raise the bass/sub..asl the you re-incode the tracks also in the saving process ?
-
Effrain, you did it again bro 8) 8) 8)
Now shoot me up with a link homie ;D
-
good job as usually Efrain, could you send me link to whole thing?
ps. could you shot me a link to LBC Crew remastered version aswell?
-
no disrespect but when you say REMASTERED, you mean that you used an EQ to adjust the levels !
No.
The only EQ I use is a Waves SSL 4000 G Channel plugin. Take anyone of the leaked demos and tweak it until your ears bleed... you're not going to get even close.
-
again: sounds nice! 8) can't wait to hear tha whole thang
-
cool im excited when u say that Watch ya Mouth is best one becuase so far it was worst sounding track on whole demo. gonna check it out for sure ! since its on zshare i will download it like 20 hrs lol.
Could you please up whole thing, but in waves?
btw im bumpin your lbc crew remaster daily 8)
-
Sounds good, can you shoot me a link to the entire download? Ahhh the fun if getting off work, picking up a 12 pack, going home and blasting on the stereo and pretending like its 1996 / first listen again, only this time with how it should have been released.
-
I love your work, homie

Props Erain. You did it again. Any chance you can work your magic on NY87. Would really apriciate it.

Hi Efrain, thanks for the amazing work! I really enjoyed the Friends remaster. I have been waiting for a CDQ version for years and your version is near perfect. I would appreciate it if you could please send me a link to all the tracks if you get a chance. Thanks in advance!
-
Can i get the link? Cheers
-
thanks. can't wait to hear this
-
that white manz world sounds amazing, if you could send me the link for the whole demo id realy appreciate that. i even had to sign up so i could get this off you man lol.
-
thank you for putting in the work,these sound awesome .

been waiting to hear this a long time .a bump up in quality would be great!
-
Link me plz
-
thanks efrain.
anyway, i asked this several times before, but are you still going to upload the Out the moon remix?
-
Link me plz
-
To Live & Die In L.A. sounds great!! You doin' a big job with this one.
But overall quality of this track (version from the Makaveli Demo) is like 128/ 160 kbps, so the sound isn't clear like CDQ (album, single version. This is maybe close to 192 kbps mp3) and that's why track sounds dirty. Is there any chance to get this version of 2 Live & Die In L.A. in true wav/ CDQ quality and then remaster it? It'll be the best thing to happen this year (in the music industry). :)
-
Could you please send me a link to download the whole thing? Thanks, really appreciated!
-
can i get a link Efrain?
-
good work again hitme 8)

-
I been asking for a link since page 1..... can some one hook it up???
-
lmao you guys didnt read
he says 4 songs he doesn't even feel he needs to remaster and the others didn't come out well
-
Demo sounds great - thanks again Effrain 8)
BTW, you should try to remaster Kurupt's "I Don't Bang No More" track ;)
-
Efrain do you have any plans of remastering Watch YA Mouth full version??
no need for remaster of this version, it sounds great.
hook me link too :)
Yeah sounds good, but it would not hurt to make it alittle better imo
-
Great job, would love tha whole thing. Id really love 2 hear Krazy remastered even if its only a little better.
-
Good work, any chance of getting a link to the full album?
-
Started skimming through the tracks and the job you did was a definite improvement. Good job on cleaning up what you could. I have a feeling the original tracks aren't all from the same source. I think some of the tracks are from the other version of the demo and that's why the quality varied so much.
-
Ive been bumping Friendz for a good while now and imo that is the song that came out the greatest. Watch Ya Mouth sounds great aswell tho. Thanks Efrain for dropping this project
-
nice drop homie,thx 4 this shit. 8)
