Does anyone know how Matt gets that really cool sound in the GOBE bridge in Assassin at the Mayan 2015 show? It's from about 3m47s into this video: http://YouTube.com/watch?v=2kV652Ob3ZM#t=3m47s It sounds like the sound might be reversed? But then somehow whatever he's using would need to interpolate how the note will continue sounding, so it can reverse it. And disregarding the reversing, it still sounds a bit synthy. And I have no idea what I'm talking about

Sound check doesn't modify the actual waveform data, it's just metadata. And a lot of people (me included) don't have sound check on
-
Look at the link a posted a few posts up. It describes how the mastered for iTunes process resulted in a file with significantly less clipping (which is what I was pointing out in the first place)
-
And this is an interesting read: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/does-mastered-for-itunes-matter-to-music-ars-puts-it-to-the-test/2/ Especially:

Tell that to the waveform. And this document: https://www.apple.com/itunes/mastered-for-itunes/docs/mastered_for_itunes.pdf
-
Your post said you compared it to iTunes versions. Which as I said, are mastered for iTunes --> less clipping and stuff
-
The leak sounds the same as the official mp3s from Warner (which also clip everywhere). However Apple don't label something as Mastered For iTunes if it clips too much. So iTunes (and probably spotify) get a different mix which clips a lot less
-
This has probably been asked but what on earth is Matt on about when he says "your mind has turned green, and your belly is yellow"? Is that meant to mean something? Does his handler have a green mind? (I.e. Cares about recycling and other environmental matters?)
-
Possibly, but I also can't sync up to the tempo of live recordings. And if they aren't playing live with a predetermined tempo then how is Matt syncing up his Whammy automation?
-
Well I don't really need a click track. But I still need to get the timing correctly setup in logic for Whammy automation. Assuming the tempo is consistent up to the outro (which I'm pretty sure it is), the only other explanation is that maybe they picked a really weird tempo between 96 and 97 that has 4+ significant figures. But that makes no sense, why would they do something like that?
-
Yeah, it's pretty frustrating Has anyone else got any ideas? I'm thinking of maybe splitting it up into different sections (tapping, verse, bridge etc.) with tiny BPM differences to account for drifting, but that really isn't ideal and would be a pain to manage in Logic. If anyone has any insight that'd be real useful!
-
Funnily enough, Logic's tempo detection gave me 96.7. But that also doesn't line up, it starts falling in front of the beat about halfway through the first tapping part. The closest I've gotten in 96.9, but that loses sync about 1/4 of the way through the first chorus
-
Sorry, I didn't know where to ask Thanks for checking. But when I line up a 97BPM click track to the first Hi-hat hit that opens the song, it starts to drift ahead of the beat when it gets to the AC/DC style bridge section. Although it doesn't actually seem like the song changes tempo at that point, so I dunno why it doesn't line up
-
Does anyone know the exact BPM for Reapers? I know it's around 96 but I can't seem to make a click track line up, it always drifts out of time after about 20 seconds.
-
Only superdrones would be good enough to go on their own. Unfortunately there were no superdrones to hand so they just used regular drones as backups
-
I think I've found out why Drones hasn't leaked…
-
What's Varia Jam? Do you mean Munich Jam?
-
Of course they're correct! I actually have the album, it was given to me by my friend's sister's uncle's brother's cousin's great great great great grandmother's roommate who works at Warner
-
Glad you asked
-
Well it was included in the making of Defector. Although that could've just been an editing error
-
Is this showing up in iTunes for anyone? It's greyed out for me in the UK store, but it's got a popularity rating so some people must've gotten it
-
The link you're given points to muse-drones.s3.amazonaws.com. It contains the time the link was generated, and the time the link should stay alive for. It also contains a signature to ensure that the path and/or time isn't tampered with. Right now the links generated stay alive for 600 seconds (10 minutes). So if you wanna share them when it happens (wink wink) then you better be quick

I've been looking into the drones.muse.mu site (mainly because I'm bored waiting for The Handler). When the page is happy that you're at a lever location, it sends off a GET request to http://drones.muse.mu/confirm The body of the request is along the lines of: { "id" : <drone id num> "lat" : <current latitude> "lng" : <current longitude> "last_lat" : <last latitude. Dunno where it gets that from but it accepts NaN> "last_lng" : <last longitude. Also accepts NaN as above> "lever" : <index of the lever you're at> "distance" : <distance from lever. I believe it accepts a 100m radius> "heading" : <compass heading in degrees> } If it's happy with the request data and the request headers check out, it'll sign a video link for you
-
There's still no redeem.warnerartists.com link for The Handler yet. I'm pretty sure the Reapers page was up by at least midday on Friday

'Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass

The 2nd Law streams were 128kbps (or 192, I can't remember). Yet there were so many people converting to 320kbps and uploading as "high quality" versions
