Just look, please! It's Hannibal L. He's not an emo guy...right?! I could be arrogant too! I'll be more arrogant I promise! And I promise to write posts without big letters and without punctuation marks cause I'm macho and I don't care about that. I'm cool! ...too cool to care. well am i macho now fo sho and oooh yaaaah it feels good
  3. Untitled Untilted Confield Draft 7.30 LP5 Chiastic Slide Oversteps Quaristice Tri Repetae Amber Incunubula
  4. Well i KNOW that but can't you hear that the first part is not exactly like White's Dream?! ...and I'm not >>>everyone<<<...but it's ok;)
  5. Wow...You're such a nice and clever guy! Thnx!
  6. Ok, what's this actually? i believe t'was a thing that sounds a lot like something from Tekkon Kinkreet to me... is it "White's Dream" ? i dunno. sounds and looks good tho :) So like London Sinfonietta and Plaid made that track together...or?
  7. Ok, what's this actually?
  8. After Oversteps i'm revisiting Raster-Noton again.
  9. Hehe...me tooooo But i like Oversteps VERY much!
  10. LOL Abstract??? I get clear visual of that track...
  11. Yah...i also think that Oversteps is just not challenging enough. Challenging level that would be optimal:)
  12. holy fuck is it cheap...bleep.com charged 34.99 EUROS, thats like almost 50 bux. what a ripoff. boomkat had more reasonable prices. Euros? USD!
  13. Bleep.com - $ 35.99 Out of Stock Amazon.com - $35.99 $34.19
  14. ''digital crunch at the waveform peaks'' is audible only if track is badly overcompressed and if there are some problems with intersample clipping. Not always! Some tracks are mastered with an RMS of -8 dBFS and still i can't hear any clipping. With some i can hear clipping at -14 dBFS. There are tens of reasons why clipping may occur. But what about vinyl side effects like clicks, pops, crackling...They're audible, aren't they? ...and there are several reasons why clicks and pops may occur. I know! I know! If Depeche Mode CD is overcompressed then i would buy the vinyl if it's better...ASAT And yes, i agree...most today's music on CDs is squashed...but what if is not? What about older albums like Amber on CD? Or Sun Electric - 30.7.94? Or what about new Kraftwerk remastered CDs? They sound OK to me!
  15. I wondering who was the mastering engineer on Oversteps. It sounds very interesting! (Rashad Becker - my favorite mastering engineer) http://www.monolake.de/interviews/mastering.html http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/london/lecture-videos/stuart_hawkes_wino_made_me_do_it http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/london/lecture-videos/john_dent__extreme_makeover http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/london/lecture-videos/moritz_von_oswald_early_morning_freestyles
  16. This: It's not correlated. Cd can handle more extremes because LASER can read more accurate and faster than needle and that's way it's more appropriate for 'loudness war' not because CD has better dynamic range. I think there's a language gap here. CDs have a greater dynamic range, hence lower noise floor, than vinyl. CD mastering often means brickwall limiting, which means the loss of one of the advantages of the CD medium, the greater range of dynamics that is allowed, although it will retain the advantage of a lower noise floor. At no point did I say the loudness war was an unavoidable consequence of the greater dynamic range of cds. The 'loudness war' started with vinyl. Please stop cutting my quotes up to imply something that I haven't said. Again, I'm totally confused about your argument here. We were talking about the advantages and disadvantages of vinyl in the real world. From my experience, vinyl tends to be more sympathetically mastered than cd. Are you suggesting that brickwall limiting isn't a problem for cds? That I don't believe that vinyl isn't more sympathetically mastered than cd? At no point am I making any correlation between dynamic range and brickwall limiting. I am saying that brickwall limiting negates one of the adavantages of greater dynamic range. IMO it's not because of 'brickwall limiting' per se... Limiters are inevitable but they can be set to limit only like 0.01 dB if you want. Amber sounds far better on Cd to me. Untilted too...even if it's somewhat overcompressed. It's because of disability of the vinyl to reproduce crispy sounds with a fast attack equally good as CDs. I remember watching a documentary about the Queen. One producer said that they had difficulties getting Freddie Mercury to sound good on vinyl but CD changed that completely. I think that most of today's music is being overcompressed at mixing stage not mastering but if some mastering engineer gets an album to make a vinyl master then he must compress it MORE than for a CD because vinyl has lower dynamic rage and the needle is not quick enough and the vinyl is not thick enough for a drastic changes in loudness. If some album is too much overcompressed i'm not listening it more than once...i can't! It could be pressed on the golden voyager plates. No way! Like >>>>Clark<<<<< Too bad he fucked up pretty good albums! Maybe he sounds better on vinyl. ...but i'm sure not good enough.
