mm lossy?

[*dJ*]

Ok thanks (again!), but are those types of digital transfers considered lossy..ok (this type) md is already lossy, but let's say is it allowed to share such a show here?

[Five]

yes, it is okay to share minisisc recordings here and also at similar sites so long as it was taped originally to minidisc (as is the case here).

if it was, for example, taped to dat then copied to minidisc then to wav to flac that would be not okay if you see what I'm saying.

[*dJ*]

It's me again with another question..




I was wondering if it's mono (upto 14-16 kHz both channels look the same..) and also if it's upsampled around 15 kHz it seems slightly mirrored.

Linage i have is CDR>EAC>WAV (I think the cdr is max 3 generation).

Sample[s] on request

[Five]

go to analyze > show phase analysis

set it to mid/side and you can use the "normalize" button to make it easier to see (in this case normalize is just for display).

for mono you will see a little skinny line up the centre that bounces with the sound:


for stereo, you will see something like a ball of string bouncing all over the place eg:


easier to understand when you see it in motion. the phase analysis shows differences between the channels, so if its a perfectly thin line up the middle its mono.

[*dJ*]

This is what I got (hope i picked a good number of samples):



.. so this is stereo? if show how can it be the FA of both channels (the two different colours in the FA are the channels -- right?) or so similair, especially upto 14-16 kHz?

[Five]

that is stereo

the image isn't all that wide compared to some shows which means that the L and R channels are almost the same, but not exactly the same.

[*dJ*]

Was wondering about this one, especially because it's know to be circulating in mp3. It can (therefore) be some tracks are ok and some not..

Track 01

Track 18

The given lineage:
THIS IS AN EXCELLANT QUALITY DEMO TAPE THAT I RECEIVED IN A TRADE
FROM CD - FLAC

..which seems strange on his own. Got a tape and conversion says cd>flac

-----

Also got another show, which claims to be FM sourced:

Track 03
FA: http://img92.imageshack.us/my..image...ufatr033jn.png

Track 11
FA: http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?i...esulufa3xu.png
SA: http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?i...esulusa4lq.png

I was wondering how can it be the carrier is 16 kHz? How can it be the drop at track 3 is reanoable (?) bigger comparing with track 11?
Track 03 seems to miss some blocks in ther carrier?

As usual any help is appreciated!!

All of these look mp3 sourced -typical blocking and lowpassing, though the encoder picked a pretty high lowpass on some of the tracks (probably Blade at fairly high bitrate, which is iirc known to do that. It's also known to suck. :P)

This source exhibits typical signs of an analog tv recording - the audio bandwidth, the structure of the noise floor in the treble range (especially in the left channel), and especially the "tone" which apparently is at the line frequency of NTSC (~15750 Hz) or PAL (~15625 Hz), just below 16kHz - no, that's not a "carrier" signal of any kind.

About last show:

I know there exists a digital broadcast from BBC's interactive feed, can this be an audio rip of that one?

Although I remember some talking by a presentator (going to re-check)

[*dJ*]

I am puzzled:

The intro says: This is Lamac live [..] Recorded exclusively for Radio One last thursday, live in london this are the Strokes.

As I said can this be from an interactive (web/online) feed?
