remastered
Digitally enhanced again
Remastered describes audio or video that has been processed to improve quality from the original master recording.
A remastered album typically has cleaner sound, better dynamic range, or enhanced clarity: The remastered version of the 1970s recording sounds remarkably crisp.
Remastering updates older media for new formats or modern listening standards without re-recording the performances.
