Thank you very much.

Thanks!

reup please

Yes. Still says: All download slots for this file are currently filled.Please try again momentarily...

Somewhere I read that this sentence means deleted file...


From my experience, file says the same, and all week i cannot download this file...I therefore, conclude that file was blocked or deleted.

It seems to be working now : I'm just downloading it right now.

thanks you

Just to inform (or warn) others, this is recorded from the audience in a stadium environment with a phone, it contains the ambient noise - the quality is quite bad. Don't know why the ripper felt compelled to encode this into FLAC, since the quality is just about 64kbps mp3.

Hopefully there will be a proper studio recording, since the fanfare is a pure Williams gold...

Uhm, this was recorded off of the live stream on the MLB site...

and my recording software records to WAV, so thats why I "converted" to FLAC so there would not be any further quality loss.

Sorry man, I stand corrected. It's recorded via ambient microphones in a baseball stadium, along with audience noises. The recording itself sounds very distant and flat, with virtually no bass or trebles (but of course it's not ripper's fault).

I recorded the game that day on my Satellite receiver not sure if it would sound any better if I tried a rip of that.

Wildwood, that would be great if you could rip it, atleast it might be truer stereo!

I see one video - in mono - on the official site, and that's all. The sound isn't too bad (it brushes up quite well with some EQ).

I'm aware of some fan-recordings floating about; presumably this version combines one of these with the original stream and diverts them to left and right channels in order to fabricate some sort of "stereo". It's a nice idea but in practice it rarely produces a noteworthy result; particularly when considering two completely different, inherently poor recordings that are out of phase, and dynamically variable (which is why the instruments appear to be floating almost randomly around the sound stage).

The only time I've seen this technique work well was about a year ago. Two professional recordings - made for different companies, from two microphones, from two different positions, in a concert hall. A professional audio engineer combined the two (after weeks of painstaking corrective measures, automated phase correction, and frequency matching. The result was a "stereo" restoration of Toscanini's 1951 NBC performance of Verdi's requiem. Even that wasn't perfect - but it was a very brave attempt. It was dependent on a number of happy coincidences that just aren't there in the Fenway recordings to make it worthwhile.

Extracting the raw stream (AAC at 64kbps if you're talking about the same video I am) would have provided "no quality loss" (that is, the best possible quality considering the source) without subjecting it to any nebulous recording process.

Here's my attempt: - tango fenway2.mp3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?7gxd5qyzhf3mgmm)

Not perfect but about as good as it's going to get

Note; 2000hz of additional frequency response, and that weird whistling noise at 0:54 significantly reduced. Also, this is the original mono recording from the website - with a mild reverberation added to compensate for the dry recording, and equalisation-matched with the brief studio performance of the fanfare as seen here: Boston Pops Composer John Williams Fanfare for Fenway - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLempBnBLZY)

The video I am referring to, was the LIVE stream, which is gone now, of course.

Oh - is that where the other channel of yours came from? Not from one of these wonky "phone in pocket" videos?

nope, not from one of those wonky phone in pocket videos.

the other channel came from the NESN video (which is stereo, but mono at the same time, if you get my meaning)

yeah, tango's effort is slightly better, and it should suffice until the real recording is done... thanks tango!

The VST plugins "Stillwell 1973" or even better "AnalogCodeEqRangers1/SPLFullRanger" (both very much more than just Equalizers)
can make almost any recording sound great, at least for starters, just experiment a bit. Of course they don't remove SFX. For repairs
IZOTOPES many VSTs do a great job.

Thanks a lot !!!!

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks!

Could somebody re-up please? As a die-hard Cardinal fan, it pains me to say how much I love this piece.
