Listening to now...in fake Quad!

[JanBakker]

I agree with you 100%. I am going to see Joe Satriani with Marco Minneman as the drummer I think late February at The Fox in Oakland, will be my second time seeing Joe.
I used to get all uptight looking at the DR Loudness list and not purchase because of numbers and I decided that was stupid on my part, now I never look any more. I just trust with downloads like HDtracks at 24bit I am getting a little bit better than a 16bit RBCD. Funny twist is, for less money I can buy the RBCD, rip it for home listening and play it in my car, and one of the points, logic, for compressing is it sounds better in the car, which they do. As I have said before the music industry has us by the balls with our money.

My last concert is ages ago, Fear Factory in Holland and some locall stuff I don't even remember. Hope you have a great time seeing Joe the Wizzard. :banana:

 

[JanBakker]

Anyone familiar with this? Too bad it's so loud but the music is great and doesn't even sound bad.

 

[JanBakker]

There you have it.

 

[Spock]

Not too bad:

 

[JanBakker]

Still in doubt if I should buy their new bluray, great musicians and music it is.

Oh, remember the first time I picked up that record, it was so much more than the regular progressive rockish metal. Been a follower ever since.

Curious, does that spectogram just below the artword really show the real dynamic range?

Specweb:

Think all the Eagle albums sounds good after SpecWeb upmix.

Tried some Don Henley solo albums with bad result. But a Glenn Frey solo album sounded good.

Hmmm... I need to hack it to display 6 level meters. IT doesn't do that unless you "unlock" the peak meter, in which case it's all jumbled up over other stuff.

Anybody done that?

Can you define "Bad Result"?

 

[Spock]

Can you define "Bad Result"?

The soundstage are not balanced, and some of the instruments dominate and sounds harsh. I think it is a result of not the best of quality recordings.

I have done a number of upmixes now - and albums that are recorded and mixed in high quality, very often gives a great result - typical Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler.

Listening to The Hollies Hits in Multi-Channel stereo...sounding good man.

Have you tried playing a file and then right mouse-click on the seekbar? The "configure" pop-up appears and you can choose your channel setting.

 

[zeerround]

The waveform seekbar is ok and showing 6 channels. It's the horizontal meters at the bottom that only show stereo, unless I "unlock" the layout. Then they show all six but are over the top of everything else in the bottom pane.
