Subject: MD: Cyndi Lauper MD Recording-Multiple Sources, Multiple
Questions
I just made a Cyndi Lauper compilation MD using various digital and
analog sources mixed on the MD. The material I copied from is as
follows:
Compact Discs
Cyndi Lauper-She's So Unusual
Cyndi Lauper-True Colors
Cyndi Lauper-The Best Remixes (Import)
DVD's
Cyndi Lauper-Twelve Deadly Cyns..And Then Some (copy protected) (5.1
Dolby Digital and PCM Stereo) (selectable)
All Time Party Classics Volume One (Promotional DVD Music Videos For
DJ's) (not copy protected-contains Girls Just Want To Have Fun and about
50 other popular music videos of the 80's and 90's-PCM Stereo Only)
Commercial MiniDisc
Cyndi Lauper-Twelve Deadly Cyns..And Then Some
I made a two MD compilation of The Eagles a few days ago. I used the new
box set Selected Works 1972-1999 and TM Century HitDiscs for a few songs
not in the collection. I also wanted to use the Hotel Calfornia version
of Victim Of Love, but the levels on the previously released Eagles CD's
were much lower than on the box set, so I used the live version of
Victim Of Love from the fourth disc in the set, The Millenium Concert
instead. For this reason, I'm wondering if I should purchase the CD
version of Twelve Deadly Cyns...And Then Some. More on that to follow.
As far as Cyndi Lauper, here's the track listing as it stands now before
moving or deleting an tracks-the only two on the possible delete list
are one of the Girls Just Want To Have Fun short versions and Iko Iko,
mainly to make room for the LP version of What's Going On. I did not
include the 1995 version of Girls Just Want To Have Fun (Hey Now) which
is closer to Redbone's Come And Get Your Love than the 1983 original
Girls Just Want To Have Fun.
Track Listing:
1. Girls Just Want To Have Fun-Extended Version (Digital from The Best
Remixes)
2. Change Of Heart-Extended Version (Digital from The Best Remixes)
3. She Bop-Special Dance Version (Digital from The Best Remixes)
4. Girls Just Want To Have Fun-LP Version (Digital from She's So
Unusual)
5. Time After Time (Digital from She's So Unusual)
6. She Bop-LP Version (Digital from She's So Unusual)
7. True Colors (Digital from True Colors)
8. Change Of Heart-LP Version (Digital from True Colors)
9. I Drove All Night (Analog PCM Stereo from Twelve Deadly Cyns DVD)
10. The Goonies 'R' Good Enough-Dance Remix (Digital from The Best
Remixes)
11. All Through The Night (Digital from She's So Unusual)
12. Money Changes Everything-Extended Live Version (Digital from The
Best Remixes)
13. What's Going On-Club Version (Digital from The Best Remixes)
14. Girls Just Want To Have Fun-LP Version (Digital PCM Stereo from All
Time Party Classics Volume One DVD)
15. Iko Iko (Digital from True Colors)
The levels and the sound on The Best Remixes are excellent and those
recordings sound the best. She's So Unusual and True Colors have much
higher overall levels than the anemic previously released Eagles CD's,
but the recording sounds a bit harsh/muddy? But it also sounds as if it
were deliberately recorded that way.
I know I can't record the commercial DVD digitally, but is it best to
use the 5.1 track or the PCM track to record the audio from-if you
choose the 5.1 track, will the MD recorder miss the information in the
rear channels entirely. I doubt if recording from The Twelve Deadly Cyns
MD to blank MD would yield as good a result as CD or DVD to MD,
especially considering the no doubt earlier ATRAC version used in the
now several years old prerecorded MD. For this reason, I'm thinking
maybe the CD of Twelve Deadly Cyns would be better to buy and use for
the album tracks-if they were remastered in any way over the original
store CD's of She's So Unusual and True Colors. Some Cyndi Lauper stuff
is also on SACD, but I don't have a SACD/DVD player-yet. I also put
together similar compilations of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera
Dance Remix MD's over the past several days, but with the exception of
one Christina Aguilera track from DVD, those were all digital. And
they're also newer recordings so they use state of the art mastering to
begin with, unlike the older Cyndi Lauper commercial MD's-except for the
Dance Remixes import. Thoughts on how to get the best sound out of the
existing Cyndi Lauper material I have, or if I should purchase a CD copy
of Twelve Deadly Cyns to get the very best CD sound available on a non
SACD Sony CD release? Does anyone have the CD's of Twelve Deadly Cyns,
She's So Unusual and True Colors and detected a difference in
remastering
