10074 Doomsday ? then 10240 is there

Hi,

Yesterday I finished the RAM version of 10565; I can do it now in 11.5 hours. Theoretically a few hours less because it includes the full install and setup of a normal OS which isn't used for Playback, so the Playback-dedicated stuff can be left out.
Anyway, it's running now.

To be honest, day before yesterday - and after the 3rd evening of listening - I wanted to give up. Sound seemed too strange. So back to 10074.
But yesterday morning I suddenly thought of something specific that the RAM version bears, which thus is not so much about the RAM version itself, but what is required to let it work and which will matter. Yes, "will" and I never thought about it before.
So this is how I finished the last part of the RAM set up (which set up I actually started day before yesterday).

Switched on the music, heard something for the better compared to the day before, and let it go while taking a shower (my gear always needs 20 minutes of playing before being on par).

When I came back, three more tracks were in the Playlist to play and I just let it play. Well, not the first one, because it annoyed me. Too much of highs and now with me thinking where in the world I got it from that this was a black background; it was the opposite. It tears (this could be Dutch, but think like the tearing of paper).

With the next track I again wondered what the heck the sound actually is suposed to be. Yes Peter, that happens when you play synthesizer based sh*t. But anyway, it is about the joy which can come from it - or should come from it because it is in my Demo Gallery. Well, maybe it worked.

But what the heck is that strange creeping or squeezing sound I'm hearing in there ? of course it is part of the music, but point is : it is so prominently present while I never heard it before. Besides that it is ear-hurting.
So see, here I have a problem in determining whether I previously could completely miss this shouting sound and/or/hence it should not be in the music at all, OR that I now hear something that has always been there but did not want to show.
What to say ... of course it has to be the latter. But can it be justified ?

I thought of the "Low" Custom Filter I selected earlier and was sure that would be the cause; The filter is wrong and it creates (heavy) distortion.
But it didn't help apart from me now being able to hear that this sound was a composition of higher on/off frequencies which did not want to express really.

Cluelessly I selected a Basie album where Count Basie plays together with Dizzy Gillespie (The Gifted ones). Or actually I selected Track 01 because that was in my Demo Gallery and played the remainder of the album just as well. Nothing for me, normally ...

And now THIS I shouldn't have done, because NOW I was getting crazy;
The cymbals lasted so long that they could only be interrupted by a next hit. Well, in real-life this would fairly much be true; maybe I never really timed it, but I'd say a cymbal can sound for 30 seconds easily. Decay is going very very slow (after a first fast decay of the loudest sound). And so it went on this album now too (where cymbals aren't even hit hard).
I must admit that most of the cymbal sound has too few colour, although "depending on" it could be rather correct (I'd say).

What did I say a few days ago ? intriguing ?
Yes, that is what it is. And a waste to put aside without further exploring.

Strangely enough, all the remaining albums I played (throughout) a. did not exhibit any specialty and b. did not annoy at all. But let's say it was mere Rock and I tried to squeeze out more cymbal than I was used to; that didn't work (out).

At this moment it must be a sort of conclusion that something is happening at certain frequencies.
I'd like to add that normally I'd say that the exhibit I'm experiencing normally is only possibly by means of some change in the electrical domain. Like another D/A converter, amplifier.
Again I say (and I think I said it the first day of 10565 ?) that it now feels like something can't cope in my system; something is 10 times better, but my system allows for 2 times only. Sort of.

WHY do I run into such contradictionary things ?
Remember me talking about ELO and their ever strange grey sound of cymbals ? and how 10565 now is able to make even that sound "normal" ? ... WHILE one sentence earlier I said that 10565 is 10074 to the power of 2 regarding the smeared grey sound ?
did you notice it ? I sure did when it sprouted from my mind. But I just let it be because it's just like it is.
So now too ... there's this sound which comes to me as plain distortion (like a broken tweeter) and then I play Dizzy Gillespie who only shows a *beautiful* trumpet ??
I honestly expected it the complete other way around. Tweeters popping out.

Today will be day 5. But I'm sure that this time 5 days will not be enough.

Peter
