END CONTRAST CLAUSE
Transfers: grner1 - 2009.
Video transfer: Maxell HGX 120 VHS master > Sony WV-DR7 > Sony DVMC-DA2 Media Converter > Apple Macintosh Final Cut Pro (minor "nip and tuck" edits including removal of still photo flash washout frames, audio/video synch, filter to mask bottom of screen head switch jitter noise and chaptering) > Compressor > DVD Studio Pro (menu and authoring) > VIDEO_TS file set.
Audio: Monitor soundboard feed with Crown PZM microphones mounted on plexiglass hung on sides of stage (live matrix mix) > unknown model high-end Sony auto-reverse cassette deck master (Dolby C encoded) > Playback on same cassette deck (Dolby C decoded) > PCM Beta tape (Sony SL-HF900 with PCM601ESD PCM adaptor).
Audio transfer: Sony SL-HF1000 > Sony PCM601ESD > SP-DIF digital output > Macintosh with Digidesign Audiomedia III sound card > Pro Tools.
Audio post capture processing in Pro Tools (synch soundboard audio to audience audio track, normalization, a few clicks seamlessly removed, plus a short patch for the cassette flip. Also crowd patches during the encore break and during the show outro after the music ends). Audio placed back into Final Cut Pro before Compressor down-sampling.
Video - NTSC 720x480 VBR 7.7 Mbps peak, 6.2 Mbps average data rate, 2-pass.
Audio - Dolby Digital 2/0 (L,R), 48 kHz sample rate, 384 kbps data rate.
VG video quality with the camera on Joe and whoever is closest to him - usually just the bass and drums (the keyboards are rarely in frame). Quite a bit of camera movement, including occasional reverberation from the bass and crowd enthusiasm on the grandstands. The camera gets blocked some by people walking by which causes the video auto-focus to mess up briefly in those spots. Fortunately the various video problems are made up for a lot by the the EX+ audio quality.

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
