I'am just talking about the "Geniune" 24/96 from HD-Tracks !
The same as Boleary has......

I'am familiair with the wind series from reference recordings, hell, almost bought them all (Peter?)

Offcourse equalization in 5.1 is different, you have to half the volume in a 5.1 mix, because.. wel you have more channels.


What software ???

To make a multichannel recording ALL channels are equalized/touched to fit in that 5.1 profile

So if you take only Front Left and Front rightout of a 5.1 mix it can NEVER be good, because its equalized (even if they used a better master)
Its called LOSSY, not lossless

Ask yourself then: why would they put mostly a seperate 2.0 in there ???

Its all filtered, filtered, filtered.........................

We know why NOS1 is great right !?

https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD030911111229

hdtracks says it a 24/96 (HDCD) ???????????????????

Personally I think this a hdcd upsampled to 24/96 !

Just checked,

Steely Dan - Gaucho, has a 2ch/24/96 MLP on there.

WHY DOWNMIX 5.1 to 2.0 ??

5.1 CAN NOT be downmixed properly !!!!!!!! (its called lossy)

If there is a 2ch 24/96, use that, STAY AWAY FROM DOWNMIXING, no good, never will be good sounding, period.

We tested this at Peters place, as i recall, this is a hoax too .....! (we couldnt stand it for more than 2 minutes)

Pedal, try the 16/44 vs 24/96 version of Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz, just curious about your findings

Roy

Thats what i like to hear....
 

PS: Keep stiring the pot marcin, haha
 

Peter or Marcin,

Did you tried special mode (ultra low latency)
on (less good) bad recordings ?

Roy

Great finding Marcin,

I'am still on w7 (mostly), will try update current os with RC1 SP1

Otherwise i will do a clean install on seperate spinning disc

This must be good, to be honest I currently dont like vista or w7 (both have their own problems and likings)

So my hopes are very high now, yes yes


Foundation, foundation, foundation, foundation

and next TRIED to fool Roy, haha

It sounded very good at half-speed because the higher notes were not there (well not as "normally" being distorded)
Thats why RAMDisk is so great, its makes de higher piano notes much cleaner.

I hope you all enjoy nos1....... (with 16/44 material)

How about a program to organize your music database:

Check here:http://www.fnprg.com/catraxx/


Its has some nice futures like:
 
- all kinds of internet databases are connected.
- you can easly leave notes and memo's on every album, so if someone gave you an album, you can make a note of it.
- Also makes full use of tagging.
- etc etc

just check for yourself.........its not free.........but use the trial to get the feeling

Roy

Hehe,

Cool........

Ivo,

You are only "alowed" to run Windows on 1 PC.
So if you make that call, boleary talked about.

You will get a Q like: do you run windows on several PC's
ANSWER: NO

Roy

PS: you have an option in vLite to put your reg. key in, use that.
      This way you can do a unattended install.     

I have a dutch version of Vista Ultimate x64,

Can somebody point me to a English version, or a link.

I will spend my whole 17 days of Christmas holiday to vLite it.

But I really need a ENGLISH version, to start with.........

Somebody....

Roy

Peter,

Is it possible to implement something like sox as a pre-process on those albums with pre-emphasis. (recognized by flags in the cue sheet)
sox is commandline exe tool, very fast and available here

Just used it to de-emphasize an album, I think it sounds better when using sox then play it as "original".

Let me know what you think.
