RE: (313) technical question

2005-04-04 Thread Sebastien Dalphond
I have always been a Prince fan and this album has always sounded bad (you 
right, with lots of distortion on the vocals, especially
LRC), even the CD release they put out after a couple of years.  I'm guessing 
it was a bad pressing in the first place, and the CD
was mastered from one of the LPs (which would be incredibly sad), or that the 
mix was terrible when they recorded it in the first
place.

RE: (313) technical question

2005-04-04 Thread Odeluga, Ken
I'm no expert but distortion surely wouldn't be an artefact to appear
*after* the fact of mastering and pressing, I would have thought? So
you're more likely to be looking at a poor pressing.

Perhaps Dan Bean would be a good person to chip in about this.
Especially as you two share a similar taste in music...

Hi,

the A side of my copy of prince's 1999 has some distortion on the
vocals,
especially on "little red corvette". The overall quality of the a-side
is
quite bad, actually. The other sides of this double album sound so much
better. Could it be that the previous owner listened a lot to the a side
and
didn't bother about the other cuts, or is this distorted sound on the
A-side
a matter of recording quality (so it would be on all the pressings, at
least
of this run). Anyone got an idea?

Re: [313] Technical Question

2002-03-28 Thread marc christensen

Alex-

this is a more problematic (and contentious) issue than you perhaps know.

Streambox ripper is a program that used to do this -- but they had 
legal problems exactly because it could rip mp3s from streamed audio 
(which goes against the intent of the streaming thing not depriving 
the owner of ownership).


The last version that could is (i believe) 2.0.09, which is no longer 
available for download.


What's worse (for me) is that it doesn't run on a Mac!  It's a 
dreaded PC-only program.


Good luck!

Does anyone know how to do this?
I only have a computer at work so it'll have to be some sort of software.
Failing that, if anyone has a copy of these mixes on CD, I would gladly pay

My most wanted are as following;
