New CD/Blu-Ray release from Alan Williams (Birdsong at Morning)

[sjcorne]

I received new downloads from IAA for Currents and X - no problems with them.
Appreciate your help with this Jonathan!

How did the MKV -> 5.1 FLAC turn out?

Also fine. The flacs are actually 7.1.

(Reading it makes me eager--and jealous! I wonder if, when Alan was forced to push back the release date of the physical disc, he ever considered giving advance buyers a complimentary download to tide them over . . .?)

Just got a shipping notice from Blue Gentian Records!

Can't remember if I pre-ordered this one or not. I guess I'll know one way or the other by next week.

Arrived today. And as soon as I took it out of the padded envelope, it hit me:

Coincidence?

Maybe some clues in this "deep dive" into the recording & mixing of the album, which I just now discovered. Only 10 views! C'mon, QQ, let's give it a boost!

Actually, the whole series looks pretty good, if you've got a few hours to waste. Fascinating insights into mixing, EQ'ing, applying reverbs, dealing with mic bleeds, etc. (Not sure why he mixed up the episode order in the playlist.)

I just listened to the blu-ray in its entirety while reading the on-sceen commentary. What a gift from Alan. Please let me know when there is a pole for this so I can vote my 10.

So, I've been ripping my title just now, and trying to figure out what the heck are all the "titles"

I ripped all 4
Title 1 - album in DTS HD Master, with vocal
Title 3 - album in DTS HD Master, with vocal
Title 4 - album in DTS HD Master, instrumental
Title 6 - album in DTS HD Master, instrumental

I ripped mine. There are 2 sets of the tracks and instrumentals. As far as I can tell, the difference must be the video. I didn't check, One lyrics, one track notes maybe? Then there is a set of videos.

I like this album quite a bit. It has a slightly harder edge than Evidence Unearthed. Great mix as usual.

Well, I typed in all the info (best I could) and uploaded from DVD Audio Extractor program. Not sure what database it uploads to....

I have been listening to the disc for the first time today, as I was trying to rip it to my NAS. It sounds spectacular! I think you'll really enjoy the instrumental version in DTS HD Master 5.1. Loads of bass, fidelity is off the charts. Surround mix is super.

Anybody experiencing slow shipping from BurningShed?

According to their website my copy shipped on December 14th with nothing yet.
