ReplyDeleteThanks to Derek that sent us this recording.
LOL which copy sounds best? You may need to call on Mrs. Derek
DeleteOnce again, one has more compression than the other :)
ReplyDeleteTitus: If you did more compression on the right channel you would get a more balanced result since the 'original' file has more comp on the left.
Anyway, no need to share it in flac, this one is perfectly lossy.
Cheers
I didn't use compression on this or the Molly H.
DeleteOk, it seemed so. Of course you can get similar results with limiter and amplify or normalize.
DeleteYeah I use all those. Prefer it to compression. I don't like noise reduction so rarely use it. From memory, the keyboards on this Manfreds gig are in the right channel mainly. This is why they look uneven. Was like that on the original. The mis-match is intentional. I have no interest in 'lossy'. Not something I care about. 'Listen with your ears not your eyes' I try to tell myself.
DeleteQuite a technical discussion that I won't share with Mrs. Btw, we're getting married in May this year. After 20 years of sin.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, listen with your ears, totally agree, as at age 63 I'm starting to miss some high end treble in the left ear. I go to my music room, put volume at 11 and that's where the exact heavenly judgement of every music comes.
Keep on rocking in the free world (getting smaller these days),
Greeting from springtime in Paris,
Wow, you finally popped the question then! Congratulations Derek
