How is The Moor screwed up?

[Ermz]

There are ways of fixing it though. And not doing so i reckon is lazy.

You've dealt with DAT errors in the past? They store digital information.. once it becomes corrupt, you're fucked. Unless you want to go back to tracking, set everything up as it was and attempt to replicate the gear chain just to punch those parts in, which would sound bad regardless.

It was one of the drawbacks to using a crappy medium. Opeth paid the price for it. It's a shame, but it's nobody's fault.

Contrary to popular belief, engineer/producers don't have a magic wand that they can wave around and make everything alright.

To be honest, I've never really noticed them yet, and I'm not going to bother trying to find them and then be bothered every time I listen to the album.

.


but then again i havent listened to the moor in about 2 years, so...

 

[Hubster]

Amen. It could play friggin dropout pong on the left to right channels for all I care, it still doesn't undermine the genius of the album.

Amen X2.

I tell you what, rather than them release a Dolby 5-point surround job (whatever happened to that?), I'd rather have them re-record SL in the studio... LIVE. All mistakes, everything.

I want to hear everything. A RAW Still Life.

drooool

The name of this thread should be "Still Life, Still Deaf"


Get your ears checked and stop posting these threads.

It couldve been placed into a computer and edited there. (not that it would eliminated the problem completely but could make it substantially better) But im not taking into consideration of the programs and technology they had then. I know theres a tool on cool edit pro that can fix it. And something on Soundforge apparently but ive never used it.

The only one I notice for myself was the one in the right channel of the moor dropping out, I was like huh ? did I just touch the volume ? loll but anyway, that's only a tiny flaw compared to the greatness of the song, heh.

I really don't understand how people can't hear this, its blatantly obvious. I mean, the guy has "Written and Produced by myself" in his signature.

What has that got to do with anything? It means that I made the pictures in my sig, decided how they should be mixed/flashed/merged/whatever, and that a friend of mine mixed/flashed/etc it. The reason why it's 'written' and 'produced' is that I thought it would be cool with sortof 'albumy' credits.

I still havent heard anything wrong with The Moor. I'm just curious, is all.
Oh well.

dude, use headphones or something. one of the channels (i forget which) keeps dropping in volume compared to the other one, especially in the first few minutes of the song. basically you're either deaf or stupid

you corrected me on the word "the"??? youre a quack.

 

[westknife]

lmao yeah i also noticed the absurdity of that

 

[WeepingMoon]

hahahah, i am a quack, yes. when it comes to movie quotes...

meanwhile, for the people that can't hear it...can't they just change the balance all the way to the right or whatever, and then they will hear the drop outs clearly?

 

[KjeXXXer]

That's a good idea. Cheers.

Lucas making an "in reference" to the Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin relationship perhaps?

I think so.

The Moor is cool.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

DAT dropouts suck.

The ones in The Moor kind-of sound like the right channel is muffled, as opposed to full-on dropping out (unless that's what a drop out is supposed to sound like - I have a bootleg live show from the December European GR leg and supposedly it was recorded on DATs, and during Deliverance the audio "bleeds" in and out, like a damaged VHS tape or something would)

 

[Powers]

I actaully see what you all mean now. Unless you what you were talking about or at least what you were looking for, you probably wouldn't notice it first time.
