I included some artwork I found here and there (but may not necessarily match this version - as I said earlier I got this from the hub with no notes at all)
It does look iffy on TLH. But the frequency analyses look ok on EAC and TAU which leads me to believe that there was a problem with the transfer at some point, or eventually a hiss reducftion was applied. But I'm not an expert at such matters - any other ideas?
I received during a trade a version of that show, for which I was also asking myself why it was not clearly lossless. Maybe someone can help too. Ginger, Daffy, could you please check the following link and compare with your own version ? I'm pretty sure it was taken from the hub (not by me), but I would prefer you compare. PLease confirm if you get the same results or not.
In that link you will find a doc file containing the logs taken from Audiochecker and Trader's Little Helper, plus the frequency analysis and spectral views for each track.
I would say that the horizontal line is corresponding to tape hiss. But what is your opinion everyone ? Lossy or lossless, and why ?
Olivier, that is the kind of frequency analysis that I got (I won't comment on the spectrum, I really don't understand them!).I think it's okay but would like an expert opininion, and I don't feel I qualify for that :)
Is this the same as in http://www.queenconcerts.com/queenzone/1043438.html, where they say it's lossy? Im a bit confused now, because this torrent is clearly announced as FLAC. Or is it a lossless version of the same gig? Too bad, there is no lineage... Anyway, please, please, don't re-share former mp3 or other lossy stuff as FLAC ><
I dunno - I didn't get my show from Masahiko-san and since I didn't download that version here and the thread doesn't give much information beyond set list, for instance lineage or even total size of folder, I don't want to say if it's the same or not. I'd like to think not. Once again, I need input from experts!
