Hi everyone,
Here is the remastered version of WideAwake’s recent release: LBC Crew – Haven’t You Heard that I’ve been working on, available (in part) below with a couple of tracks uploaded individually to sample. Apologies for this taking longer than expected, as I said in the other thread I’ve been working with some new equipment on this which sounds incredible, but there was a bit of a learning curve to integrate into what I usually use and get everything sounding the way I wanted. I’m happy to say everything turned out great and I’m really happy with the final product. I can say with confidence if you listen to the audio below you are going to be very, very pleased.
I focused on audio balance through a variety of different outputs (computer speakers, component stereo systems, separates in several really nice car audio systems etc) and it sounds great all around. Play this on your computer for sure but be sure to throw it on a CD too; it’s going to sound great in the car.
NOTES:
Several of these tracks appear to suffer from audio deterioration or inadequate/fucked-up mixing. Examples of these would be “Dippin’ in my Low Low” and “Get up 2 Get Down.” I avoided heavy EQ use all around, so most (if not all) of the audio imperfections present before still remain here. Don’t get me wrong they sound much, much better now but just fair warning on those two.
You’ll notice the main difference in all the music here is the presence of a cleaner, larger, richer, more crisp dynamic sound… (not to mention louder) without the oppressive low end, chunky mids, and flat highs that that smothered the music before. It was nice to have professionally mixed and mastered versions of “Out the Moon” and “(indo) Blueberry” on-hand for reference when I was working on this—definitely kept them in mind and tried to emulate what I liked.
I added “Six Shooter”, “Doggystyle ‘96” and “Beware of My Crew” to the track order and sequenced it according to the original track list we got back in ‘97 (jpeg provided in the .rar file). I didn’t add “Hit Rocks” or “Funk Wit Yo Brain” though, mainly because the latter of the two sounds atrocious in its current form and can’t be fixed to sound listenable. I figure we’ve all heard Hit Rocks 1000x times so may as well leave it off.
“Doggystle ‘96” and “Six Shooter” coming from that Ultimate Death Row Vault deal appear to have been given some treatment prior, but they sound a lot better here too (surprise).
FULL DOWNLOAD + BONUS TRACKS
I uploaded a link to 6 songs off the remaster to sample (below). I’ll PM a link to the full album to everyone who responds with feedback in this thread. In addition to this I also remastered “Head Doctor (OG – CDQ)” “Smoke Enough Bud” and “Just Watchin’” along with this release and they sound great… (especially Head Doctor OG). I’ll send a link for those as well.
Thanks everyone, enjoy!!!

-
Hey Efrain thanks for the hard work man! I haven't got a chance to bump the samples in the ride yet but I'm listening to the samples at work right now as I'm typing this and it sounds really good, I can't wait to put the full album on a cd and bump the shit out of it! I'll give you more feedback on the quality of the mixing once I get to really hear it. Oh and good lookin' on adding the bonus songs to your finished version, I was planning on doing this myself but then the sound quality would have been off compared to your mix. Thanks again homie.
-
Props for all your work it's appreciated indeed, haven't heard the samples I'd rather wait for the whole thing 8)
-
Listeninng to the intro right now and it sounds fantastic. Can't wait to bump the rest of the album. Thanks for doing this man.
-
i'd love to get the full Efrain good work
-
Really nice that you did a such thing for this "very long awaited" record and I'm curious to hear the whole mastered/mixed version now 8)
Thanks for the effort put into this project Efrain ;)
-
Finally... the long awaited Efrain remaster of the Lbc Crew album has arrived in the forum. From the clips you posted, the audio quality is vastly superior and more refined..Outstanding job man.
-
Damn! good work pimp . Can I have the link?
-
Shit is bangin', good lookin' out
-
awesome work man
-
nice touch up on your side, i hope the people support the album and don't be just cheap leechers.
-
Thanks for the work! It really sounds better, the Remastered tag really does justice
-
samples sound dope!! mucchhh richer sound. mad props.
-
mad props dude! im bumpin' this right now! 8)

nice touch up on your side, i hope the people support the album and don't be just cheap leechers.
True. We need to support it so WA keeps putting out albums (even if the quality ain't all there, especially now that we got Efrain ;D), otherwise we can't complain when they stop because they aren't making money. I got the LBC Crew and Sneed's together off Amazon and it was worth it; two more for my collection. If it's worth downloading and burning to cd or putting on an mp3 player, imo, it's worth the purchase.
-
should be great like your nate dogg LP remaster...will check it when 'tis made possible 8)
peace.
-
I was gonna ask if that was you that remaster the Nate album. Damn major props for this LBC Crew remastering, that's an album i wanna hear in the best quality! Need a PM pimp! Thanks!
-
Efrain remixed How Do U Want It onto some unreleased QDIII beat. It was dope. I lost it.
for real :o i NEED to hear this !
-
Samples sound amazing! Can't wait to hear the full thing
-
just added original Beware Of My Crew (http://www.zshare.net/audio/87257411cac24a65/) and i got my personal "Detox" 8)
-
much appreciated this sounds amazing. great job homie !
-
Just heard some of the samples as well, and I am really curious what some of the other songs are like. The vocals sound much cleaner now. I would appreciate the full album, special attention goes to "Head Doctor" - the song did sound good before, can't wait how it sounds after you put your hands on it. Would be nice to get a PM from you. :)
Good job on not tweaking the EQ that much. Most remasters sound even worse due to some kids just tweaking the EQ. Still bumping the Nate Dogg album. 8)

holy shit these sound nice! and they all sound similar volume wise which is a key element to mastering. And I cant believe you woud offer to master products for wideawake they should be paying you something for this considering . thanks for doing this man big props!!!!!!
-
this is beautiful, thank you so much for your work Efrain!!
-
can i get that link?
-
sounds great. good job. thanks pm me a link if you can
-
it amazes me how efrain can deliver a superior product, in a few short weeks, when WA had who knows how much time and couldn't deliver a product half as good. goes to show you who is really putting in work. this sounds amazing, props. can't wait for the link to bump it from beginning to end.

granted its possible that WA is very short on cash and decided to pay some random $200 to spend 3 hours mastering the album, and then called it a day from there.
-
Yeah, serious Efrain...Props.
-
Props for the pm Efrain. Damn, no remastered Out The Moon (Daz Remix)? That was one I was really hoping you might have remastered. I would have taken that over Doggfather's Disciple. Started listening to the Intro 2 The Indo and it's completely night and day between what WA did and your remastering. I can't get over how well of a job you did man. I just quickly flipped to Get Up To Get Down and Dippin' In My Low Low to check those and they don't sound that bad even though you mentioned those have some sound issues. You definitely made those ones sound better. All in all, a very good remaster. WA should hire you to remaster their mp3s since it's obvious they aren't pulling them straight from the masters.
-
Efrain, you know what to do.
Did you ever get round to remastering Street Life?
-
Efrain, you know what to do.
-
So which was the "Beware Of My Crew" that was suppose to be on the original album? The version on Efrain's mixed version or the one on the "Thin Line Between Love and Hate" soundtrack? Both are tight I'm just curious.
-
Here's the OG front cover (can anyone confirm?)
(http://i56.tinypic.com/73l6l5.jpg)
-
sounds great hook it up with the album
-
sounds great. cant wait to hear the full thing. 8)
-
thanks a lot man! Can you please PM a link?
-
Please send me the link thanx!!!!!
-
shoot me that link holmes...this cd deserves a proper mix and master...props.
-
GREAT job... I've been accustomed to the leaks from years and years ago in horrible quality, and this is just eye-opening. I can't wait to hear the rest of it.
-
wow this looks great! I cant wait to get it! nice work efrain!
-
I want it all. Didn't need to listen to your links, you did a real nice job on the Nate Dogg remaster. Thanks for doing these!
-
These snippets sound WAY better. Please PM me.
-
yo great job on the samples! can i get the links? thanks sir
-
Efrain, man, you did it big with these tracks. They sound great. Can't wait to hear the full thing. MOB!
-
Great Work Effrain, Keep It Up ;)
-
this is dope, let me get a link as well. thanks in advance play boy.
-
I gota get this. Can you plz pm me. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
-
Thanks so much for taking time to make other people be able to enjoy what WA gave us to buy. No one else is bringing this kind of effort to the table. You deserve alot of props for doing so. I cannot wait to bump Doggfathers Disciple, and Indo Blueberry!
You rock mang.
Right now I am bumping 8) the whole 92.3 interview and listening to "get fucked up"/doggdiscip and it sounds amazing, so does baby come home. Now you have brought that back to us!!! thx so much again, thought i would be listening to that interview forever lol
-
Props for the pm Efrain. Damn, no remastered Out The Moon (Daz Remix)? That was one I was really hoping you might have remastered.
yeah, Efrain, could you tell us why you excluded this one?
-
Much improved over the WA release! Louder and richer sounding, even 6 Shooter improved over the version from Death Row Vaults. Maybe I missed a previous thread, but have you attempted a remaster of the WA versions of Lady Heroin, Goin Hollywood and Drug Related? Lady Heroin is definitely CD quality, but there's still something missing when I listen to it.
-
I remember your other remasters...I havnt been logged in for over six months....had to make a post to get a link to this
Didn't check the samples...know it is going to sound good
-
These sound great thanks heaps please pm!
-
haven't checked the retail release due to the bad comments on quality, but these sound crisp as fuck.Efrain does his thing again, I would appreciate the whole thing man, when you have the time
thanks for putting in time to do this
-
Here's the OG front cover (can anyone confirm?)
(http://i56.tinypic.com/73l6l5.jpg)
NO, it ain't. It's some horrible fan made shit made in 5 minutes using MS Paint or something.
Efrain, you should remaster all the Death Row leaks for us ;D
-
has anyone got a link yet? My car speakers are fiending! LOL
-
Just listened to the Intro and it sounds clean as fuck. You've done a great job on these - WA should get in contact for sure.
I won't be asking for a PM though because I've yet to cop this album and would feel that I've cheated if I asked. 8)
-
Efrain, mad props homie!
This is how's supposed to be done....
thanks for puttin in the work!
I'd appreciate a DL link for the full record, cant wait to hear the rest of the tracks.
Keep up the good work.
-

-
Looking forward to this!!
Thanks for taking the time out.
KoDy.

Looking forward to hearing it! Much appreciation due. so you PM the link? Sad part about this is that I actually thought this was one of WA's better efforts ha ha.
-
sounds real good bro hoping to hear the full album you cleaned up!
-
Dope!!! Can' wait! THX 8)
-
very good job !
-
was Daz's "Out The Moon Remix" remastered or did I miss this in the file?
-
propz for this!! can't wait to get the full link 8)

I finally got a chance to bump this in the hooptie on my way to work this morning and it sounds much, much better. I specifically remember turning down the bass 2 notches on my stereo when listening to the WA version of the intro "Haven't You Heard" so that I could hear the vocals clearer and now with Efrain's mixed version I was able to leave my bass set to where I always have it and crank it up all the way and the vocals sounded a lot clearer and the bass was still there, it just wasnt drowning out the vocals; the highs sounded crisper too. Great job Efrain!
-
Propz! Heard the samples amazing work! Would appreciate a link to the full. Thanks!
-
Sounds greats. can't wait for the full album. Thanks Efi!
-
was Daz's "Out The Moon Remix" remastered or did I miss this in the file?
it's not included. i asked Efrain about it, but no response so far
-
i've asked about Efrain working his magic on a particular WA release full of Quik production. hopefully that happens 8)

There's no way he could fix the Danny Boy album. The sound quality is too shitty. There are glitches, hisses, skips, artifacts and distortion throughout the whole album. There is at least one of those problems on every song. That's impossible to fix unless you have other versions of the tracks.

the glitches sure, but the finished sound has the same issues as the LBC release - overly boomy bass, unclear highs. this is why i think it could be improved a lot, but Efrain said he'd try out a track or two to see.

the samples sound way better !!! PM me the link bro !!

sounds great! big big difference compared to the original tracks.
good work efrain!
-
nice job dude
lookin forwrd to listen full album
-
Just heard the album and bonus tracks and you really did a great job with some of them, some did sound alright before like the "Head Doctor" original version. Would love to see you remaster some tracks off Snoop's "Lost Sessions Vol. 1" - really was dissapointed with the work WA did there.
-
Hey mate great job appreciate the effort and that was just the samples I've listened to
Would love to hear the full album. Would be great if it could be done on some of the other WA releases that weren't up to par.
Thanks in advance
-
man...thanks for taking the time remaster this and to hook this up ....shit sounds 10,000x better...been bumping this non-stop since i got...
-
I just heard this in my car and I had to come back on here and thank you man! I didnt think it was going to sound THAT good, I feel like I'm listening to the retail version from death row IN 1996. It really shines on a good system, I couldnt even listen to the WA version as I hate listening to good music in poor quality -- it drives me nuts. This music deserves to be heard like this, I just went from avoiding this LP to playing it non-stop. so seriously, thanks for all your hard work as it is much appreciated. I wish i had the software and knowhow to do it myself frankly.
any chance we get "out the moon remix" and maybe "Mizery" as a bonus? Mizery is my favorite track I've heard in ages, would love to hear it touched up a little if its even possble...

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the feedback!! I’m glad everyone’s enjoyed it, I was happy to do it. I’ll make sure someone at WIDEawake sees this thread because they really should. As an administrator and/or director of a company how you could possibly not take seriously comments like “I didn’t buy this because I knew the quality was bad… but yours sounds so good, I’d rather hear yours instead” etc. I can’t imagine how much money those guys are losing. Consumer confidence is in the shitter and we have to resort to remastering their releases ourselves to make them listenable. Yikes.
As far as the Daz remix, I left it off because I was running short on space keeping it under 120min (I think the album clocks in at 1hr 17min currently) and I liked the flow of the album the way it is currently—which is more true to the original track list. Also, I didn’t want to have it be exactly the same as the WIDEawake version (not trying to get into any trouble with them). I did play around with it though, I have some presets on it so I can upload it soon if people want. I’ll be away for the next week but when I get back I’ll put it up here.
I also got a few requests for the Danny Boy and a couple other songs. I did play with the Danny Boy stuff and, wow… WIDEawake really threw another brick there, huh?! I mean, honestly I didn’t even know they put that album out, lol. And it’s all DJ Quik production?! God, it sounds fucking awful (sound quality wise). If I was Quik I would sue; that’s damn near slander! It’s a real shame that album has some potential. The two songs I took a look at are “Think It’s About Time” and “Blow Your Mind” (?) From some of the preliminary tweaking I did those can definitely sound better. If anyone can send me a legit wav rip of those two songs and maybe another good one off the album that would great. I’ll try to get one of those up asap.
Thanks again guys!!

Great work, I just listened to the samples. The quality is bangin!! Cant wait to listen to the whole album. Please hook me up with the link. Big thanks in advance. 8)

-
8)The quality is very good , link PM please? ;)
-
Wow this sounds a lot better. Can I get a link? Can't wait to compare the rest of the album.
-
hell man, you should try to get in contact with someone at WA yourself. I mean, you did all of this for free, and it is obvious you are a big fan of the music. Maybe they would be impressed with your work and could work something out with you to help them out in the future.
My guess is, they already spent so much money buying Death Row, and now they realize that it is incredibly hard to sell this music and make money. I'm sure they are trying to keep expenses as low as possible, and so I think they won't hire anyone, or even put effort into mixing/mastering these albums. But maybe if they actually heard the difference you made, and you were not trying to charge them an arm and a leg to do work...maybe they might hire you. Hell, maybe you would work for free as an intern.
-
Great quality, wanna hear whole album thanks already.

its a slip capone and kurupt track, slip said it was produced by dre

I spent the $15 for the Wideawake version but love a link to this.
Props on the effort and sharing Efrain. 8)
-
Love what I've heard, Hope you might get around to Snoop's WA release.
Hope you can toss me the link to tha album, as-well as “Just Watchin and Head doc
-
btw. what's up w/ that little distortion @ min. 0:48 on "just watchin"?? with such great software/hardware i'm suprised u couldn't filter that out...
-
Efrain, you should serioulsy work on 2pac OG album. I bet with your hands on lots of the original versions would sound amazing. 8)
-
Love what I've heard, Hope you might get around to Snoop's WA release.
I wish I could too, I’ve tried. WIDEawake actually mastered that release (by Brian Gardner no less) so nothing can be done.
All the songs were sent over to Brian in the same condition we got the LBC Crew album (see aforementioned massive low end, chunky mids, flat highs), the music was essentially fried by the compression they applied at Bernie Gardner Mastering. Think of it like Baking a cake, once you throw it in the oven you can’t go back and tweak the ingredients—its cooked… literally. WIDEawake sent them rough mixes and demos… another epic fail.
It was actually the outcry from fans that made WIDEawake (Lara Lavi) master it. How’s that for irony? We demand they master these records, they do, and then they’re worse than they were before! …alas, we can’t win.
That album suffered from mixing issues. None of those songs were professionally mixed. In the credits they mention some no-name idiot mixing engineer who did the album. Whoever that guy is—if he’s even real—should be slapped… the guy has no business mixing records. Doggystyle has some of the worst mixing I’ve ever heard, bar-none. It’s so amateurish I can’t even listen to it. It’s unlistenable. As far as I’m concerned that song is still unreleased.
-
Efrain, you should serioulsy work on 2pac OG album. I bet with your hands on lots of the original versions would sound amazing. 8)
Thanks man. I'll definitely take a look. Some of those recent 2pac leaks sounded pretty good. There were also a few tracks of that All Eyez on Me label demo that were at least decently mixed and could definitely sound a lot better.
I’d like to take a crack at that Makaveli demo that’s floating around (apparently there are two versions of it). I don’t know because I’m not in the loop with music stuff like that. From the sounds of it, a lot of people have it. I don’t know what condition it’s in, but I’m sure I could make it sound a lot better.

I'm curious about your potential work on Tupac first 2 albums, what about those?
-
can i get a link ;)
-
thanks man , can i get pm with link !
-
A tupac LP would be cool, a lot of decent leaks recently.
another LP that could use it is the Death Row Soopafly LP that came out a while back, that was in the same exact state as the LBC Crew LP. all the original material was there as intended, just not proffessionally mixed and mastered yet. some sounded ok, but man that LP wouldve sounded so much better after Efrain's touch. wish i could do it myself...
-
Props for this, i would luv a pres in my inbox.........
peace
-
thanks for doing this
can I get a link too?
thx in advance
-
Thanks for your work!
-
Thanks alot Efrain the album sounds super good. Lightyears a head of Wa's release mabe we should all be happy that Wa didnt try to master this album. Efrain would you mind taking a shoot at Outlawz Retribution album that leaked some time ago. There are a few songs on there that needs a touch up Pass The Heat comes to mind. After seeing what you did with the LBC album i cant wait to see what you will do with the next project. Much props

Daz released Dat Whoopt Woop on dpg recordz and thats the only version of the album thats out, the other your talking about is probably a fan made.
I wouldent mind hearing a Efrain remaster on Crooked i Hoodstar album and the songs of Shttbg that Wa didnt include for the album like La,La & Slap Back
-
link?
-
I'm not a big audio freak but even I know that these remastered versions sound soo much better! The sound is much more clearer and louder 8)! I like what you did with the tracks based on the samples. Why ain't you working with WA? :D
-
This is great, thanks so much, nice to see albums like these being remastered, will appreciate the full LP remastered! peace
-
Based on the samples, I'm on the bandwagon. Could I have a link please?
-
Let's vote for Efrain to quit his job, lock himself up in his house and remaster every West Coast track ever released/leaked - thumbs up if you feel me on that one ;D
-
sounds nice, or would sound if i just could get this remastered version to myself somehow ;D
-
Dope! Can you hook me up with a link?
Peace
-
Sounds amazing. I would also like to see you do some Pac albums. Set up a "chip in" account so peeps can throw you a few dollars for your hard work. Can I get a link to the full copy of this masterpiece? thanks.
-
Efrain, ever consider doing Hittman's Murder Weapon album? alotta Dre's dope productions sound horrible.
-
Efrain, you should remaster Kurupt's "I Don't Bang No More" - this shit deserve to be heard in better quality 8)
-
Efrain, you should remaster Kurupt's "I Don't Bang No More" - this shit deserve to be heard in better quality 8)
True, thats def my favourite Kurupt song of all time.
Damn, Efrain, if only Widewake would hire you, it would make these albums actually worth the price depending on the quality...

Hi everyone,
Here is the remastered version of WideAwake’s recent release: LBC Crew – Haven’t You Heard that I’ve been working on, available (in part) below with a couple of tracks uploaded individually to sample. Apologies for this taking longer than expected, as I said in the other thread I’ve been working with some new equipment on this which sounds incredible, but there was a bit of a learning curve to integrate into what I usually use and get everything sounding the way I wanted. I’m happy to say everything turned out great and I’m really happy with the final product. I can say with confidence if you listen to the audio below you are going to be very, very pleased.
I focused on audio balance through a variety of different outputs (computer speakers, component stereo systems, separates in several really nice car audio systems etc) and it sounds great all around. Play this on your computer for sure but be sure to throw it on a CD too; it’s going to sound great in the car.
NOTES:
Several of these tracks appear to suffer from audio deterioration or inadequate/fucked-up mixing. Examples of these would be “Dippin’ in my Low Low” and “Get up 2 Get Down.” I avoided heavy EQ use all around, so most (if not all) of the audio imperfections present before still remain here. Don’t get me wrong they sound much, much better now but just fair warning on those two.
You’ll notice the main difference in all the music here is the presence of a cleaner, larger, richer, more crisp dynamic sound… (not to mention louder) without the oppressive low end, chunky mids, and flat highs that that smothered the music before. It was nice to have professionally mixed and mastered versions of “Out the Moon” and “(indo) Blueberry” on-hand for reference when I was working on this—definitely kept them in mind and tried to emulate what I liked.
I added “Six Shooter”, “Doggystyle ‘96” and “Beware of My Crew” to the track order and sequenced it according to the original track list we got back in ‘97 (jpeg provided in the .rar file). I didn’t add “Hit Rocks” or “Funk Wit Yo Brain” though, mainly because the latter of the two sounds atrocious in its current form and can’t be fixed to sound listenable. I figure we’ve all heard Hit Rocks 1000x times so may as well leave it off.
“Doggystle ‘96” and “Six Shooter” coming from that Ultimate Death Row Vault deal appear to have been given some treatment prior, but they sound a lot better here too (surprise).
FULL DOWNLOAD + BONUS TRACKS
I uploaded a link to 6 songs off the remaster to sample (below). I’ll PM a link to the full album to everyone who responds with feedback in this thread. In addition to this I also remastered “Head Doctor (OG – CDQ)” “Smoke Enough Bud” and “Just Watchin’” along with this release and they sound great… (especially Head Doctor OG). I’ll send a link for those as well.
Thanks everyone, enjoy!!!

Would loove to have at least Doggystyle with George Clintin in better quality :-)

Could you PM me the link man ?
Thanx in advance & keep up the good work!
-
Dash me a link and props in putting in work.
It's going to be a treat hearing a 90's LBC record sound like it should of done, if it had been released back then.
-
AWESOME! WESTCOAST
Could I get the link to the full album?
Cheers!
-
Firme!
-
Hook me up with the link when you got a sec!
-
i would like a hook up too
propzzz

Major props man! You really did a nice job on this. 8)
-
good lookin on these tracks, a pm of the full would be appreciated
-
This is gonna be dope! Can i get a link?
-
If it doesn't get me in trouble with anyone I can up this...I added all the features to the tracks so it's got accurate id3 tags and a cover so now it really feels like an album. PM me if you need a link.

Hey bud,
Not sure what you mean by added features and accurate id3 tags, but I’d like to keep the tracks on the album the way I put them together (id3 tags and all). If you want to upload a cover you made or have a suggestion on track order feel free to mention it here, but I rather not have the id3 tags/and or track order changed on the one I put together.
Thanks!!
-
just took a listen to 3 of the samples you uploaded and you can definatly hear the difference here, what you've done is appricated.
can i get a full link?
Thanks in advance.
-
What I did was I added the cover by WideAwake, and I added the features that were missing (like Big Pimpin and Threat) to the tag so it looks clean and organized in Winamp. The order is the same and the tracks themselves are the same.
-
Like the sound of the samples! Can I get a link to the rest of the album please. And thank you for all the time and work you put into this project. Much appreciated
-
Did a great job wanna hear the rest
-
Would love to get a link for this as well,the samples are so much better
-
checkin Six Shooter. this sounds really dope now!
why can't they do this properly at wideawake?
THANKS for puttin in so much work!

-
+1 Excellent job on the remaster. Any chance I can get a link for the full one?
-
^^ Thanks for the feedback guys, check your inboxes 8)
I'm going to put up a couple other things soon too. The next one is going to be a bunch of those unreleased 2pac songs that leaked, with some of the All Eyez on Me demos. The quality one most of them is outstanding and some of the ones I've played around with sound amazing. I'll try to get that up soon.
I know some people mentioned a couple other albums, King T and the Kokane one. The king t I looked at, the mixing is kinda fucked up on the dre tracks so that;s not going to end up sounding great. I didnt check the other ones though. On the kokane I've never heard, so I'm not sure. If you have it feel free to PM it to me and I'll take a look. If you guys know of any specific songs you want me to take a look at (that are in very good/studio quality) I'm happy to. An album worth of stuff is a little more time consuming but a song or two is cool.

Hi Efrain, can you please send me a link for your mastered version :) Txs for the effort

Hi everyone,
Here is the remastered version of WideAwake’s recent release: LBC Crew – Haven’t You Heard that I’ve been working on, available (in part) below with a couple of tracks uploaded individually to sample. Apologies for this taking longer than expected, as I said in the other thread I’ve been working with some new equipment on this which sounds incredible, but there was a bit of a learning curve to integrate into what I usually use and get everything sounding the way I wanted. I’m happy to say everything turned out great and I’m really happy with the final product. I can say with confidence if you listen to the audio below you are going to be very, very pleased.
I focused on audio balance through a variety of different outputs (computer speakers, component stereo systems, separates in several really nice car audio systems etc) and it sounds great all around. Play this on your computer for sure but be sure to throw it on a CD too; it’s going to sound great in the car.
NOTES:
Several of these tracks appear to suffer from audio deterioration or inadequate/fucked-up mixing. Examples of these would be “Dippin’ in my Low Low” and “Get up 2 Get Down.” I avoided heavy EQ use all around, so most (if not all) of the audio imperfections present before still remain here. Don’t get me wrong they sound much, much better now but just fair warning on those two.
You’ll notice the main difference in all the music here is the presence of a cleaner, larger, richer, more crisp dynamic sound… (not to mention louder) without the oppressive low end, chunky mids, and flat highs that that smothered the music before. It was nice to have professionally mixed and mastered versions of “Out the Moon” and “(indo) Blueberry” on-hand for reference when I was working on this—definitely kept them in mind and tried to emulate what I liked.
I added “Six Shooter”, “Doggystyle ‘96” and “Beware of My Crew” to the track order and sequenced it according to the original track list we got back in ‘97 (jpeg provided in the .rar file). I didn’t add “Hit Rocks” or “Funk Wit Yo Brain” though, mainly because the latter of the two sounds atrocious in its current form and can’t be fixed to sound listenable. I figure we’ve all heard Hit Rocks 1000x times so may as well leave it off.
“Doggystle ‘96” and “Six Shooter” coming from that Ultimate Death Row Vault deal appear to have been given some treatment prior, but they sound a lot better here too (surprise).
FULL DOWNLOAD + BONUS TRACKS
I uploaded a link to 6 songs off the remaster to sample (below). I’ll PM a link to the full album to everyone who responds with feedback in this thread. In addition to this I also remastered “Head Doctor (OG – CDQ)” “Smoke Enough Bud” and “Just Watchin’” along with this release and they sound great… (especially Head Doctor OG). I’ll send a link for those as well.
Thanks everyone, enjoy!!!

I heard about this on another forum. I been bumping the wideawake release like crazy, i wish I had known about this remaster sooner. Im more anxious to hear the Head doctor remaster, I hated the quality on the leaked version, it was great to have it in full but it sounded like it needed a volume amp and some more treble. Send me a PM homie. Also, those sample are tight. Is this the only album you remastered? Im sorry if this was answered

Yo FrainMan, i know you get requests like a mug but son hook this 1 up Sir. It's that Death Row Demo from a few years back. I'm thinking on that "Doggystyle" song from Snoop chop it up with "The Lost Sessions" version where it cuts out at. The pitch and speed of the song make it sound so much better and if it gets cleaned up a little more it won't sound that bad...
thx if u could tho. u know alot of other people will too!

Alot of those songs u want him to remaster are in pretty shitty quality.. I don't think there's much that can be done.
Anyway here's my remaster of I Don't Bang No More i did some time ago, not such a big difference but i removed some annoying frequencies.

side note 2: that bitch Angel Haze can get the dick

Thanks Damu.

You should give AP production credit on Supersonic, too.

im not Damu but if youre not talkin about me then clearly Im wrong........... but this is a thread so okay...
But even though thats my homeboy just off the simple FACT that he literally came from nothing to somethin major and he started out underneathe the bottom of the barrell. i wouldnt be suprised. Im not sayin Dre has ever made a beat and produced anything (which is obsurd) and neither should You [in real life] but I wouldnt doubt it.
But I've never heard of this "AP" u mentioned so it could be possible but at the end of the very fuckin day we STILL have no proof. So as far as Im concerned he and Yella produced it (both or Either Or). Im not gonna write off Dr. Dre becuz its becoming popular with Bloggers and never actual facts. Unless you personally know (with proof) or have seen something that I havent then u cant never pass off suspicious as actual fact homie
-

Sorry for the confusion, apparently I missed the first quote. The "Thanks Damu," was in response to: If you want a link of the Efrain project, send me a pm.

AP is Arabian Prince, who was producing in house for Ruthless at the time. If you Google the lawsuit over Fergalicious, you will also see him credited for production and/or writing; I figure the volume of coverage and rumored settlement is proof enough.

oh shit, i forgot all about dude for a second (he's just been TOO quiet since NWA, interviews and all). wtf is he upto nowadays anyways? Ge's definitely due now for an episode of "Where Are They Now" lol, real talk. like who and where the fuck is he. i mean damn, he WAS apart of NWA/Ruthless right?

I do not want to side track the thread too much more, but dude circled back to electro hop.
The last that I heard, he was releasing under the moniker "Professor X" a couple of years ago.

He was found guilty of attempted murder back in 2012. Basically, some chick he was friends with got in an argument with her neighbor and she called Lil C-Style over to take care of it and he shot the neighbor. Here's one of his appeals that gives the whole story:

Hi everyone,
Here is the remastered version of WideAwake’s recent release: LBC Crew – Haven’t You Heard that I’ve been working on, available (in part) below with a couple of tracks uploaded individually to sample. Apologies for this taking longer than expected, as I said in the other thread I’ve been working with some new equipment on this which sounds incredible, but there was a bit of a learning curve to integrate into what I usually use and get everything sounding the way I wanted. I’m happy to say everything turned out great and I’m really happy with the final product. I can say with confidence if you listen to the audio below you are going to be very, very pleased.
I focused on audio balance through a variety of different outputs (computer speakers, component stereo systems, separates in several really nice car audio systems etc) and it sounds great all around. Play this on your computer for sure but be sure to throw it on a CD too; it’s going to sound great in the car.
NOTES:
Several of these tracks appear to suffer from audio deterioration or inadequate/fucked-up mixing. Examples of these would be “Dippin’ in my Low Low” and “Get up 2 Get Down.” I avoided heavy EQ use all around, so most (if not all) of the audio imperfections present before still remain here. Don’t get me wrong they sound much, much better now but just fair warning on those two.
You’ll notice the main difference in all the music here is the presence of a cleaner, larger, richer, more crisp dynamic sound… (not to mention louder) without the oppressive low end, chunky mids, and flat highs that that smothered the music before. It was nice to have professionally mixed and mastered versions of “Out the Moon” and “(indo) Blueberry” on-hand for reference when I was working on this—definitely kept them in mind and tried to emulate what I liked.
I added “Six Shooter”, “Doggystyle ‘96” and “Beware of My Crew” to the track order and sequenced it according to the original track list we got back in ‘97 (jpeg provided in the .rar file). I didn’t add “Hit Rocks” or “Funk Wit Yo Brain” though, mainly because the latter of the two sounds atrocious in its current form and can’t be fixed to sound listenable. I figure we’ve all heard Hit Rocks 1000x times so may as well leave it off.
“Doggystle ‘96” and “Six Shooter” coming from that Ultimate Death Row Vault deal appear to have been given some treatment prior, but they sound a lot better here too (surprise).
