Hi Neil,

Hi Tom,

Thanks mate

btw, bloody email still down!

it should be ok for me to put them online, if we are using your server for downloads.

if however we are moving them somewhere else, then let me know.

i can probably sort it out ya see.

Neil

Hi tom,

can you have a look at the blood valley clip? seems both me and lars have some crackling.

all the way through ???

Everything is fine on the mastered track , except the crackling in the blast and the noise in the vocals which have already been in the original File ! Sometimes the mastering will reveal the limitations of the original source.

Maybe my mp3 converter had a problem with the loudness of the mastered track and because of it's low resolution (128kb) it does sounds a bit distorted, but i will check it here as well, give me a minute....


TOM:::::...

I heard the prev-clip , and yes there is the distortion from the <b>blast sound</b> which crackles .
I have talked to Lars about this problem before and we both decided to leave it as it is...
There was already a clip during the recording that Lars did, and the mastering of this track made a spot out of this error,sorry but i can't remove clipping in a finished track!

TOM:::..

Well, I had a listen to the original unmastered <b>16bit/96000hz.wav</b> file which Lars send to me and the little clips in the guitar and the loud clip in the blast-sound are already there in the original recording ...
As i said before, mastering will reveal the limitations of the source (if there is a limitation) ...

If you can't life with it, then LARS has to do the whole recording once again!!! That's the only solution we have guys...sorry

TOM:::::...

Neil, have a listen to the original full mp3 that <b>you</b> provided, there are the same clippings in it !! It's still on the server as you know...just listen for yourself start at 5:30 or some seconds earlier

good morning Neil, any decision made ??

Hey Tom

I think that thing that is considered crakling is actually clipping in the lead guitar samples. I think it somes from the sound of the pick hitting the string...
There's still the crackles from the blast but as you said we agreed that that was fitting...

EDIT: Actually it turned out to be the bass sound that had a not so lucky attack which has too much treble on it... At least I think that's why it sounds that way... Whatever the reason, it is caused by the bass...

OkyDoke
then we leave it as it is and Neil will get the complete CD within a few days from now
Congratulations to everyone who was involved to this CD-Project , even after listing to all tunes 100 of times it is still great... All of you have done a great job !!!

cheers
