    Re: disappointing, didn't used to be like this...

    Thanks DIDI- at least someone is getting what I'm getting here.

    red1- The two files are two different sets, you are correct. However, you'll also know from listening to all of these sets that they all start with the same intro. Same wav, pasted onto the front of each set, every time. So they most assuredly are comparable, even though they are different files.

    I do want to say this though to all the people who are crying that I'm not appreciative or something- you're just wrong. I'm very appreciative of the efforts made to the site and the uploads.

    However, this was never in question. The post started out with me pointing out a flaw that is still probably very easily fixed, not blaming anybody for it. I thought and still do think that the flaw might be in the broadcast itself, but few to no one is interested in pursuing this problem. Instead of listening to what I was saying (because why would I bring it up if I wasn't having a problem), people just assumed that I was wrong in claiming that there was something wrong with some of the uploads. God forbid someone has some constructive criticism that might wind up making the experience more enjoyable for everyone, whether they know it or not. I then had to/have to overcome the intransigence of everyone to simply make the problem known.

    People, seriously stop and think for a second.

Well at least I have my mono recordings of the kiss shows. Wait... I heard a different sound in my right ear than in my left...
      No, actually it doesn't take me long to think things through at all, dude. You see, I actually think a lot, so it comes easily.

        5 pages of Gibberish for me and the way our members fight with each others about normal topics sometimes is just priceless. This issue was brought up months ago already and it has to do with the recordings we use (or better say have to use) since January. The few exceptions (January, June and August) were Stereo because our internal rippers recorded those shows. The January 20 and June 1 show were recorded from herre and the August 3 show was recorded from red1.

        Littleangel rips the mixes in 48 kHz and though the ID3 tag says that 2 channels (Stereo) are used, the waveforms of both channels are 100% identical in opposite to true stereo recordings. Just open one of the mono mixes in Soundforge or similiar audio editing applications and compare it with other recordings to see the differences on the waveforms on your own.

        I do not know if the sampling rate of 48 kHz is the source of this problem (normally mp3 recordings are made in 44 kHz) but as long as you do not listen with headphones to the mixes, you will barely notice the difference. Our problem is, if we can't get our own recordings (not blaming herre or red1 here who do it for free in their spare time just like any other rippers) we rely on external people and in fact, getting the recordings from Tribalmixes.com was the only reliable source in the last months and I was grateful to at least get the show no matter if true Stereo or not so thanks to littleangel for providing them week by week.

        The solution is pretty easy..we need our own recorders again and red1 made the beginning last week. If anybody has true Stereo recordings for all 2008 mixes, get in contact with me via PM and I will replace the versions in our internal archives when I return from my Holidays by August 21.

          I took your advice and thought for a second.


          How about you start recording the fucking shows in stereo. That way each and every week they will be up to your standards. Just make sure you upload it to Kamal/Tom/Herre so they can get them posted for everyone to enjoy.

                    herre uses his dreambox (digital receiver) to record the show on the hard drive and red1 uses a digital TV card for his PC. How littelangel does it I do not know.

                      Come on this is blown out of proportion. If I'm anal about stereo it would bug the hell out of me too. 'Cept I have other things to be anal about.

                        ^^^ We are trying to solve now. I've just been doing a little research and it's not actually not that easy to record these shows properly

                        Ok this is probably a really stupid question, but can it be done from Australia. ?? If I don't ask I won't know

                        Every now and then when i edit a post , when I go to save it actually says "vote now" ?

                            sammwalk's a-ok, I didn't think he was coming off as bickering either but pointing out something he evidently is passionate enough about to bring to light. but tom's response say's it all. our dependability on external sources is the reason we don't control the quality of some of the rips.

                            didi I don't know if they broadcast the show in australia. It's recorded off of a DAB radio stream and so I can't imagine it travels all the way to australia from europe, but then again, I could be wrong
