Different kind of mixing/mastering for domestic use? Makes sense to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Aye, whatever system you have is going to be nothing like the sound system at a live venue. One of these days I want to hear Confield on a club PA system, as that's one Ae release where the low end is conspicuously absent... and probably the biggest gear shift stylistically. That album really broke down all walls. I've wondered for a while if they just mixed it on a system with huge subs, and if so whether they regretted that decision. It does lessen the impact greatly on a less souped up system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draft78 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 the impression I have is that, currently, the situation is this: the albums (elseq - nts) are a collection of sketches, certainly edited and enjoyable, but the work done, the aim, is what we listen live. Dublin was an overwhelming experience yesterday. I am almost afraid now to listen to it soberly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The chord progression of the cut-up-organ-chords track (you know the one) remind me of Leterel a lot !!! (Leterel reconstructed by bots on a distant planet, but Leterel still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Melb 54-56 has a lovely bit of buried lush. always laugh at the innocent enchanted forest a few minutes before the Dracula organ stomp. Lambs to the slaughter, so foreboding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowdo Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Listened to Dublin today, everything I hoped it would be. Plenty of bass. So chuffed these are released now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eczem Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yeah, really nice to hear clarity in the low-end for these. Very nuanced, subtle, ethereal sets. Enjoying the fuck out of these. Not sure on a favorite yet: Zagreb early contender. Also, going into full obnoxious audiophile mode today: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markedone Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) so far im preferring 2018 sets for one reason> the thumpy drum track (a k a ~34m in zagreb, but its in all the 2016 sets, comes in on top of the descending chord melody) is not my favorite.. its almost has a bro-step vibe. they toned it down significantly in the 2018 sets, for the better.

Sinister panic attack vibes before it dissolves itself. Blissful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yeah I'm currently listening to Dublin, it feels way more cohesive to me than Melbourne so far... Column Thirteen was one of my favorite tracks from the NTS Sessions and I'm so happy with those live takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I have both the Melb & Hob bootlegs and it sounds like Melb. Exact same runtime. But from memory the Hobart recorder had issues getting the whole set. Sydney was definitely the 20th from experience. I just assumed they took a day getting down there. Good pickup! Hobart would seem more on brand for them as it is higher latitude, more obscure and was the edgey Dark Mofo, but after the legacy of the Melb 2010 set, that cool Melb poster of Sean, and the vibrant electronic scene there I'm glad it was Melb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 A lot of the regular WATMMers who attended the Melb show have been quiet here during this corona period, otherwise you'd like to think they would've instantly noticed such a detail mishap.

Rotwang Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Damn the Zagreb set is great. Not listened to any of the others yet, going to do my usual thing of familiarising myself with each set before moving onto the next one so that the differences are more surprising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
