MILE HIGH WEBCAST TONIGHT!

[johnnYYac]

Text file?  If he made these from the wav files I provided, I don't believe you have anything to worry about.  You know you have my permission.

Yeah, I was trying to make it look all cool and torrent-y, so I copy/pasted another torrent's info and built mine off of that. I wasn't sure how you felt about it and [highlight]I have strong feelings on the subject[/highlight].

I did not convert to MP3 for this reason. I saved wavs and converted them into FLACs.

Thanks for doing this, coldengrey12.  I only got as far as stitching the three files together in Audacity.  

I'm not sure what you meant by the statement highlighted above, but as the guy who recorded this show (audio and video capture), I want everyone to share this in any and every way they can.  Jason at The Steam Engine is a super stand up dude who will take a warning not to share seriously as he respects other people's work.  So I think the statement on the text file is misleading/confusing.

It wasn't my best work, this webcast, with a video capture saftware failure 2 minutes into Tonight that caused me to lose that song on the video and to chop the audio mid-song.  I doubt anyone could "sell" this.  

So SHARE, SHARE, SHARE to your heart's content!!!

Does anyone mind if I make some MP3's and post them on The Steam Engine?

I wanted to ask since the text file with the download asks not to. Thanks!

So, if I have this right, the lineage for these audio files is:

webcast > 3 .mp3 files > .wav file > slice and dice > more mp3 files > flac files

?

Looks silly when you lay it all out like that.  Freecorder records any sounds coming from your sound card as mp3.  I converted it to wav, as  I understood wav files to be more useful for editing purposes.  After that...

I wasn't trying to be judgmental about the recording, so I apologize if I came off that way.  I appreciate your efforts in recording this webcast.  

The only reason I was asking about the lineage is that I took a stab at recording the audio from the webcast as well.  I just used audacity to record the audio into a high quality format.  From there I can convert to .wav or any number of other formats.  The thing that is giving me fits is the volume spike during Circuital.  I would like to make it all flow at one smooth volume level.  I'm going to need more time to figure it out, as I am not a sound engineer.

I'm impressed with the way the recording came out.  I was watching Train being broadcast right before MMJ and there were so many pops and dropouts in the audio.  I was fearing  that the sound on MMJ would have the same problems, but thankfully, it didn't.  I don't recall a single dropout during their performance.

Anyway, I'll try to keep working on it and see what I can come up with.

Its all good, bmc.  Still, as an old Deadhead, I know a recording is best when least removed from the original source recording.  If you'll excuse the expression, this whore's been through quite the gangbang (I just made that up; don't know whether to be proud or ashamed).

So you got the volume spike during Circuital, too?  I was wondering if it was just me.  I'd love if someone could bring the levels of the rest of the show in line with that small segment.  It seems like a pretty simple fix.

even recording with audacity no matter what you set it at aren't you still only recording at the quality the stream is?  I was always under the assumption webcasts are set at low bit rates as it is.  I suppose the wav's should have been made before the final mp3s but other than that  is the bit rate that different?  I'm curious about this webcast stream quality stuff for future events.

"this whores been through quite the gangbang" = quality.  [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Absolutely agreed. That was a mistake on my part that I didn't delete that out of the other file (which is what I said before). You recorded it. Share away, as you said. I was just trying to do everyone a solid by chopping it into separate tracks.

All I meant by the other comment was that I try to keep things in as high a quality as possible. I didn't realize they were mp3s to begin with.

Close:

johnnYYac's 3 wav files > slice and dice into separate wav files > flac files

Had I known they were mp3s at any point, I wouldn't have bothered making 'em flacs.

here's an attempt to mellow out that db boost that happened in Circuital.

let me know I can turn it down more:

I had a feeling you were gonna do this.  Good man.  I hope you don't mind.  I recommended you to a member who was kind enough to think I have a clue about sound editing.  I suggested she contact you.

Ah, Dr. Frankenstein lives!  I tried stitching this together, but it wasn't working (I guess I ought to listen to it before I give you all these compliments...)

53.7 MB?  WTF?

2.5 minutes left on the download...

Ah.  You didn't stitch it.  This is a different recording.  Is this yours?  It has the full intro music (always nice.  thank you).

yee yee.  sorry it was a wav.  I was being trendy.

I put Circuital up on Youtube. Hope you don't mind, JohnnYYac

wow.  that's the first time I have allowed my self to hear that song.   wow.

No, you're right.  Webcasts are lossy by nature.  I had Audacity set to record from my computer's stereo mix.  Doing it that way, the audio is only as good as your computer's sound system.  

Recording to .wav from the webcast preserves the audio in a lossless format, even though the sound is lossy.  It's better than recording a webcast to .mp3 because you are adding another lossy compression step to the lineage.  Once you go lossy, you can never get it back.

I cannot wait to hear the studio version of Circuital. It's got a chance to be a really special track. I hope they flesh it out even more.

Love My Morning Jacket going creepy and then segueing into some pretty nice sounding American rock. Awesome.

Just sitting at work listening (and watching...don't tell anyone) Mile High....so sweet
