    Just for kekz I lined up the mastered version of Krakow with the AE_LIVE version and it sounds pretty good. However there are definitely some parts spliced out of either one because it goes out of sync at some point. Haven't bothered to figure out which one and where though.

    yeah i encountered the same thing, the soundboard does not sync up the whole time, only parts of it do. That implies (obviously) the soundboard had some editing done to it before it was released

     

     

    The first one appears to be about 5 seconds worth of added material between 8:18 and 9:06. Probably smoothing out the transitions there.

  3. Dawg, in the last year I've had two different artists have the mastering engineers (Dietrich Schonemann / Andreas Kauffelt) request a less limited master. It is a fact, that putting a limiter on the master bus reduces the ability of engineers to do their job. I wasn't saying "you shouldn't use limiters".

  4. Wait a min, are we meant to base our taste in music on what it looks like in wave form now? Fuck me, just listen and enjoy

     

    Absurd mastering jobs have no effect on whether a track is good or not. I think this track is great and listen to it quite often.

     

    I like to look at wave forms purely out of curiosity, and I noticed that this one was hilarious looking and people like Jev got all touched up about it.

  5. Basically just read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war.

     

    In this case, see how the wave form looks like someone took some scissors and chopped off the top and bottom? That is no bueno. But it is all compounded by the fact that there was no make-up gain added after the brutal scissor trimming, which is something I have never seen before.

     

    No artists who has any idea what they are doing would limit their music to that extent because once that is applied that mastering engineer's abilities to work with the track are greatly reduced. I have looked at most ae songs as wave forms and not a single one has been limited to that extent (not even close), even ones that have audible compression pumping in them. 99% of their output has been mastered by Noel Summerville who has a very light touch, in this case a different dude mastered it.

  6. Not only limited but not peaking any where close to the digital max, which might be so they are the same relative loudness to the rest of the tracks, but still kinda weird??

     

    I've looked at a lot of ae waveforms in my day and none of them look even close to that limited. For some reason I doubt that would limit their mix that much.

     

    if you're saying that it's too loud/compressed i agree but it's ae to be blamed not a mastering engineer. after examining individual peaks i'm 97,4% sure it was done during the mix stage
