    Aleksi Perälä - The Colundi Sequence

    in New & Upcoming Releases

    Posted

    as someone who has paid for every colundi release (+ early adopter and bought the cd/dvd for 1+2) .. i am finding it pretty upsetting to be left in the dark for level 9 while people who donated $x for a block of land i have 0 interest in / 0 benefit from / 0 idea where the money would actually go, get to enjoy the new music. if buying the albums as they come out isn't a sign of being a supporter,.... ???

     

    I bought every album too, and I donated 4x the cost of an album to their land buying cult thing for Level 9. Figured if they want some money for colundi related things, sure why not.

    I download them because music this good is worth supportimg

     

    Congrats. You are a brave man.

     

    Actually my question was more technical in nature. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. These are 192kHz 24bit files. I only have one device which will play files of that resolution at full resolution, and it’s not really rigged up for home listening.

     

    So, I’ve been trying to figure out a good workflow to convert these files into versions that will easily play on iTunes / my iPhone / etc. Maybe this is stupid, but I want to make sure the process I use doesn’t fuck up the files in any way. The main problem as I see it is that you really want to guard against clipping when downsampling, but most tools don’t easily let you downsample and clip guard a group of files together in that process. For example, if track 1 needs to be normalized to -0.6 db to not clip when going to 44.1kHz, and track 2 does not need to be downsampled, you risk a clicking noise at the boundary between track 1 and 2 if there are any sounds going over the boundary between the two tracks.

     

    Some scripting could probably save me here, but I haven’t had the time to put anything together, although SoX seems like a great, robust tool.

     

     

    Buy it on bandcamp and choose MP3 as the download format. Transfer to iGay or whatever.

    Then download the FLAC and listen to that also using hacks and shit on your PC DAC ATTACK.
