Members boosh Posted January 22, 2007 Members Share Posted January 22, 2007 If you listen with your eyes closed you can hear Michael snap his fingers in the palm of his hands just before the choir kicks in at 2:36,.... One of the best,spaciest and trance-lucent 192/44.1 mp3s I ever heard.... Awesome,........thank you Bruce! I'm gone for today,...it's allmost 12pm and I need to disect every part of this recording.

Members blue2blue Posted January 23, 2007 Members Share Posted January 23, 2007 It's amazing how you can go into the biggest part of the track... I mean, it's just blowin', the choir, the horns, the frenchies and vocals, the synths, the bass riffing, guitars -- and you can actually hear them all. There's a place for everything and everything is... well, you know. As it builds, you don't lose the other elements in the mix, they don't get squashed or obscurred. Of course, the "cost" is in headroom... we're gonna have to run this baby through the Krunchalizer 5000 to get it up to competitive loudness levels if you want to put this singer guy on it across in today's maxloud market. Baby. PS Even with the modest bandwidth 192 kbps MP3, I never really felt sonically cheated. There's obviously a lot of air, a lot of definition, the musical tail fades nicely... there's still a hint of it in the air when you expect things to kind of drop but it just kind of eases off.

I agree 100%. It doesn't sound like a 192k MP3 to me. The strings, the harp, the pads, the piano....everything....they all have there space. Beautiful. I wish my mp3's could sound like that.

Members doug osborne Posted January 23, 2007 Members Share Posted January 23, 2007 This mix is a textbook example of Bruce's version of Stereo. At no time in the song is there much in the center area but the singer and the drumkit. Michael's voice is definitely the product of the singer and the mic (and the rest of the recording and mixing chain), not a transparent, naturalistic window on what he would sound like singing to you in a room, and the reverb around him blooms to fill the space when he is nearly-acapella. The right and left spaces are filled with the orchestra, choir, piano, and a few other elements, yet they are all balanced and defined. With exceptional musicality a few elements draw your attention from one side to another - drum fills and tom rolls, bell tree, harp glissandi, etc. I noticed that there is great, dynamic, content down to about 40 Hz, and then nothing below (I assume done in mastering). The bass guitar and kick drum provide rhythmic and harmonic propulsion but don't overwhelm. The uncluttered center and restrained but natural frequency range probably contribute to the success of the MP3 delivery. This MP3 delivers well on good studio monitors and crappy computer speakers. I'd like to hear a comparison with Lossless Apple and Windows Media, and with FLAC, but there will be no shame if this is what consumers can buy to put on their iPods.
