Thanks for this!!  my first breakfast download in 2010.  I\'m doing some audio work tonight so I\'ll see if I can split the Puppetry track and get this on LMA at some point

Escher\'s Etchings 3 & 4 is actually Escher\'s Etchings V > IV (anyone care to verify that?)
Sylvia seems to go Sylvia > Sylvia Jam > Puppetry (")

Thanks for recording this; I tend to forget just how ser this whole band is

and an Escher\'s 5>4>3>2>1 would be outta control

and how about new year\'s recording so we can hear I-V!!  can we start a donation fund to pay for post-processing?

bringing back the vocal jam during tunage :jawdrop:!  never mind, I\'m angry at this recording!  I could have pretended I wasn\'t missing much before I heard this :madbananna:

having seen your skills in action, I wouldn\'t doubt it.
so who/what is the hold up on nye?  is it deciding what to do with it or how to do it most profitably?  i\'m not intending to point the finger at anyone, just trying to figure out how i can help

Audacity is giving me trouble as usual.  "cannot export .flac to ..." errors

i think its being hoarded just for the sake of being hoarded.

[frolfer]

hmmm,

I downloaded the flacs and I get decoding errors when trying to convert them. Is anyone else having this problem?

[cannontrip]

i was able to decode the flac\'s successfully, but was having all kinds of trouble after that. I had everything on LMA last night; but when I tested the streaming files, some kind of noise was added on the tracks that I split/merged in Audacity.  i\'m leaving ths to the pros...

TLH says the original files are ok

01-Shotgun.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
02-Synergy.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
03-Puppetry.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
04-Blessing In The Skies.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
05-Cut Me Some Slack.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
06-Escher\'s Etchings 3 & 4.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
07-In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
08-Tunage.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
09-Tunage.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
10-Intro.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).
11-Question.flac:  tested ok (file is decodable without error).

No errors occured.

[wiredchicken]

i need to download this one

[frolfer]

I tried downloading a file again and it still will not convert. I don\'t have TLH, just been using flac frontend to convert to wav.

I hope you can get this up on the archive.

[GLuft3]

I just grabbed the last file.  I\'ll take a stab at it and let you know.  It would be ideal to get md5 checksums on the original wav files...

The WAVs are 24-bit audio.  They have to be downsampled (with dither) to 16-bit for CD Audio.

Cannontrip, what did you do to re-track the files?  PM me if you want to take this offline.

[cannontrip]

um, i\'ll try my best to post what i had...

01- Shotgun Butterfly 4:32
02- Synergy 19:15
03- Sylvia 3:25 >
04- Puppetry 12:41
05- Blessing In the Skies 5:20
06- Cut Me Some Slack 10:42
07- Escher\'s Etchings V > 7:34
08- Escher\'s Etchings IV 4:43
09- In Memory of Elizabeth Reed 21:43
10- Tunage* 19:07
Encore:
11- Question** 6:48

* With "Homework Jam"
** Moody Blues

bolded what i changed.  went original flacs > wav (via flac frontend decoder), then edited waves in audacity to above tracking [i think this is where the disruption/distortion happened], then tried re-encoding to flac (via frontend) which failed [only on the tracks i edited], then i upped the edited .wav files to LMA and setup the info.... when I checked LMA streaming player (and later the edited .wav\'s), there was a weird buzzing/electrical disruption noise in the tracks that I had edited in audacity.  give it a go and let me know what happens; i may mess around with it some more tommorrow just to learn more about this complex subject called audio


if anyone makes cents of that i congratulate you

[GLuft3]

It really is Eschers III & IV.   EIII has the strummy beginning into the power lead.  EV starts right off with the slide-like opening lead.

So, you split off Sylvia, split up Eschers, and combined the 2 Tunage tracks...  Right?

Did you just toss that 1:01 encore "Intro" track #10?

Depending on the flac frontend--or the LAME encoder--you have, it may not handle the 24 bit files.

Do you want me to take a crack at this, or do you have enough info to do it yourself?  Sounds like you have the WAV files all tracked out in Audacity already.  Just change your WAV Export settings...

Preferences, Uncompressed Export Format, "WAV (Microsoft 16 bit PCM)"  On the Quality tab, set the High-quality dither to "Triangle."

You can also use "snap-to" and the "cdda" selection format to get it to break files on sector boundaries.  Or clean them up afterward in Traders Little Helper.

HTH

[cannontrip]

please have a go at it if ya have the time... half of what u just said went over my head right now :rooster:, but i\'ll def check that out tomorrow.  it sounds like the 24 bit issue is whats causing my troubles.  as for the "Intro" track: nope, i think i just plain forgot that in the track listing .txt, lol, it was an incredibly haphazard process .  upload this joint if ya can; with all the troubles, i still love learning about this stuff

[Whineberg]

I\'m having troubles too. I just didn\'t want to sound as stupid as I look!!!(extremely stupid).

[jking]

shouldn\'t this thread be renamed to

[evil]Since it is Baruch, please fix it 2/18/2010[/evil]


i kid, i kid...

[obsession600]

I also find the thread title has turned very ironic.

I checked in last night to download and then upload to the llama and was very glad I read the replies before I got started.
