Remastering

Hi everyone!My friend asked me to remaster his 90s old master track but I've never done
this before.
If somebody could help me with that I would appreciate it very much.I
mean what plugins and its order I should use because I know it differs from general
mastering and there are many options to hear from different people but I want to find my
own way to do that referring to people answers.Thank you in advance.Best regards to
everyone!

Does your friend have the original mixes, or will you be working from the already
"mastered" version? And why does your friend feel it needs remastering? WRT
processing chains, it's impossible to say. What do you feel the track needs, if anything?
It's a bit like saying "my friend has a head ache - can anyone tell me the tools and
process for performing a frontal lobotomy" when all that may be needed is a couple of
paracetamol.

This is a bit a like saying 'a friend wants me to style their hair - how should I do
it?'!
It's not the kind of thing anyone can tell you to do over a forum. It
depends on the source material and what your friend wants doing with the material. Which
tools you use, what order you chain them in and how you use them is dependent on the
answers to those questions.
Maybe you could post a typical exanple so that
the mastering experts here can form an opinion?
'Re-mastering' also implies
that you have access to the un-mastered originals. Is this the case?

^^^that.
Impossible
to say without hearing it.
FWIW, if you've not done this before, then you're
probably not the right person for the job, though by all means give it a try.

lol:)))
you forget to add -'and I
am not a doctor', so this will be my very first lobotomy, should I open my patient from
right to left or from top to bottom??:))
If I were a patient I'd choose living with
headache then certain death

Then you need to understand
what problem you're trying to fix from the previous mastering. What you're doing here is
not 're-mastering' and could not simply be approached using a 'normal' (whatever that may
be) chain of gear or techniques.
Give the guys here an example and see what
they have to say.
