Thank you guys, but unfortunately both your rips are equal, and the same I have.
I'll explain better the issue.
It's not about the spectrogram, but about the
waveform.
The Sonor rip circulating has been ripped (or later edited) compressing the dynamics to gain a high volume.
By looking at the waveform, a friend would say it looks like Grace Jones haircut!
The dynamics have been compressed to gain volume and the result is that all the peaks have been cut-off
Here I attach two screenshots exported with iZotope RX10.
1 - Track 1 (Splash Down) from said Sonor rip
2 - a track as it should appear by not using any bad equalization![](https://i.imgur.com/VEhQ0OH.png)
This is the reason why I'm asking for a new rip, or a different one from that already circulating.
Flemming, would you mind sending a link for the apm version to see if there is any improvement?
