You mean volume levels I guess. These are the same as with my older version. New tracks were EQed a lot for more highs and mids and less lows since the lows such as bass were way overblown for my taste and I never really liked it. The more electronic tracks have usually still a bit more but the orchestral tracks were definitely toned down a lot on purpose. Too much bass is bad and drowns all the other details out, which was especially apparent with my advanced deloss processing. In the end its a matter of taste I guess, I mean you can just listen to the gamerip files if you prefer that. I do not really use headphones that overblow the bass levels like basically all Sony or Beats headphones and my remasters focus on hifi audiophile sound. Luckily Kevin Riepl did improve on this part a lot in his later orchestral based music but I guess around UT2004 he was still new to mixing and mastering and didnt really master neutral.

Eeeh, the sound level is quiet. Bass is not juicy. A strange remaster.

- Reworked the entire release (Removed Starsky Partridge's tracks since they are all already on my UT Championship soundtrack in way better quality, renamed tracks without proper titles to the map name in that they play, changed track order.)
- Further improved the audio quality of the delossified tracks via Cleaning Lab and Unchirp VST with the result of more brilliance, less compressed sound, less artifacts, less noise, less hiss. Also made some additional few declicks.
- Made EQ changes to all tracks focusing on more heights and less bass since the original tracks had WAY too much. Changes are different from track to track since I listened to them on the monitor one by one.

Criticism noted. The reason why I didnt make them loop and then fade was, because the tracks from the history of unreal music lossless release had fade out endings and on top of that not all of the gamerip tracks looped that seamless to begin with.

But was never that happy with this release anyway since the deloss is kinda meh at times since OGG 64kbps was tough to work with. Could do better nowadays but to be honest I wish lossless masters would get released or leaked for this game... Sadly Kevin Riepl never answered when I asked him about it but Starsky Partridge did and released lossless masters on bandcamp shortly after.

Why all the nasty fade out endings for every track? They were intended to be seamlessly looped.
