Re: Why Pink Floyd - EMI Release Schedule Back catalogue Rel
Has anyone reviewed the remastered versions in the terms of loudness? Can anyone comment on that? Are the remastered versions louder than original? Any clipping?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes, I was looking for some technical reviews of compression and clipping etc.

Re: Why Pink Floyd - EMI Release Schedule Back catalogue Rel
The tech stuff is surfacing slowly. I can't remember where I read it, but the Final Cut that was remastered a few years ago with When the Tigers Broke Free on it, had some complaints about some minor issues of this sort. However, again, can't remember where I read it, but the 2011 Final Cut seems to not have any such issue...I want to say the Steve Hoffman site covers some of this...if, I recall correctly.
EDIT: I remember when the new Pink Floyd site launched it had a few features that disappeared very shortly afterward. They have been added again with a few extra pages...still, not entirely great in some ways. It will be nice if they add more.

Worth posting methinks:

... if we can't laugh at ourselves then we shouldn't be surprised when others decide to mock!

I'm in a similar boat except I have most of the albums, but due to a misspent youth, they're in various states of, um, disrepairEnish wrote:I'm glad I became a Pink Floyd fan when I did. I haven't even bought all their studio albums yet, so I'm going to suck it up and wait until the Discovery Box Set comes out. I can kill 14 birds with one stone that way.
When EMI does campaigns like these, they really know how to please the fans. Once September comes around (Good God, almost one more month!), things are going to get epic.
Am I the only one a little dissappointed this Discovery box set isn't also available in vinyl?

Investigating an MP3-copy, there is clipping. Levels go into red. I've seen 'Remember a day'.celafon wrote:Has anyone reviewed the remastered versions in the terms of loudness? Can anyone comment on that? Are the remastered versions louder than original? Any clipping?
Thanks.
I wonder why CDs go into red. It's a digital medium. Why don't they limit them at zero, so at least there's no red? Why that +0.01% sound level? I also saw red on The Beatles stereo remasters.
My experience is that at least Windows Media Player can give a clipping sound when CDs go into red.
I can compress sounds like hell, without any red.
I think the Barrett Introduction CD didn't have clipping. Unlike the Piper 3CD box.

I probably wouldn't draw conclusions about James Guthrie's work from an MP3!

For the sound level it doesn't matter if it's a WAV or an MP3.Keith Jordan wrote:I probably wouldn't draw conclusions about James Guthrie's work from an MP3!
I've seen the Piper 3CD in WAV. (Red) And also the Barrett Introduction in WAV. (Good)
And I find CDs going into red (which is at most only +0.01%) very clumsy. No matter how "good" they sound. It's very easy to keep them at a maximum of 0db.

I won £10 on the lotto sat. night so treated myself to the last PF album I've not got or rather the last one barring the post Roger ones which I'm not bothered about. I'm gonna instal it on to a hard drive and then sell the c.d on ebay. I was just going to buy it from itunes till i realised I'd be better off doing it this way.

You know, I paid money for my Discovery Box and tDSotM box, but I already found all the new albums and tDSotM box for download within days of release as mp3s @ 320...so, everybody does have options if they are not audiophiles.Flying pig437 wrote:I won £10 on the lotto sat. night so treated myself to the last PF album I've not got or rather the last one barring the post Roger ones which I'm not bothered about.

Anyone else a bit surprised the Facebook WPF vote for the gig most people would go back in time to see was won by 04/04/69 Royal Festival Hall? Bacially it was Man and the Journey with Interstealla OD as an encore. I've never even heard of a few of the songs listed-Work? Teatime? Behold the temple of light? and surprised they were still doing Pow.R.Torch then too.
