You've got the ears man. Nice work.

Originally posted by noiseless:First of all, I'd like to say I did not bother to listen to all sources being shared here or anywhere else. I listened to three sources. All of them sounded pretty much the same to me.

I cannot understand the discussion about bitrates and lossiness, no matter how hard I try. This is a webcast @192k. So take it or leave it, it will never get any better than 192k no matter how big you blow the files. And it sounds pretty damn good for a webcast, I think.

The only reason why this show sounds bad is because one of the channels is phase reversed. I cannot understand why people don't hear this. Appearently most people's ears are insensitive to phase inversion but as soon as the problem is solved, everybody will hear how much better the music sounds. Phase inversion cancels out many parts of the music and makes music sound canny and extremely unnatural.

So. I took a source and phase corrected it. That's all. And I'm pretty sure that did help a lot more than 'remastering' the show. It just does not make sense to EQ a show as long as it has fundamental flaws.

Thanks, appreciated.

My ears aren't that much better than others. Quite a bunch of people noticed there's 'something' wrong with this webcast. Only difference is I quickly recognized what was actually wrong. Thanks to the Salome outtakes, which suffered from the exact same problem. I've listened about 15 years to those demos before I started to think damn this is wrong and another year to find out what was wrong. Since then, I can hear it in a second when there's a phase problem.

Basically, music is very very easy. When you listen with headphones, just imagine you're in front of a stage and think where you should hear the instruments. Intuitively, you'd want to hear the bass and the voice in the middle, you want to hear the guitar on the left because guitarists typically are left on the stage (for the public), and you want the drums where you see them: snare in the middle, hihat on the right, toms from right to left etc. If you listen to music and can't really locate where you hear things, or when you hear sounds somewhere in the soundstage that can't possibly be there, then there's something wrong with the recording.

Originally posted by eniorocks:I think we should thank both Noiseless who gave us the light and MountTemple by his tireless efforts to offer us, a better version. I believe we should thank them rather than making a contest or an election to see which one is the better version.
