QUOTE (kyonpalm @ 9 hours, 15 minutes ago)
In the case of soundfiles victimized by the "loudness war" effect, try opening the file in Audacity (I can't speak for any other program as I've never tried this in any others) and click on the Amplify tool. If it automatically detects the adjustment to be in the negative dB, complete the (de)amplification and see if the waveform is back to a normal level. If it is not, then it is permanently distorted, and cannot be repaired.

I have not tested this far enough, but if you can deamplify it to a normal, "non-brickwalled" level, what may have been the brickwalling culprit could be the method of ripping (I do not know if iTunes is one that does this, or even if any ripping program does this because, again, I've not yet tested this idea, it's just a theory.)

If this theory is true, then it's likely that if the sound file cannot be deamplified, it was mastered that way on the CD to begin with and no matter what you use to rip it, it will always be a damaged sound file because either the mastering engineer(s), the producer(s) or whoever was in any kind of contact with the album in question was a complete fucking retard who should have lost their job ages ago and doesn't know enough about proper sound engineering to get even a concept as basic as "don't completely fucking decimate and obliterate the soundwave" by amplifying and distorting it to high hell.

By the way, that means a lot of people should be losing their jobs in the industry today - especially those in charge of "remastering." wink2.gif

Sadly the one release I wish this worked on... It doesn't. GO! GO! MANIAC from K-ON!! squares off. I thought it was a bad rip until I saw the CD itself and discovered to my dismay that it had been poorly mastered.

Why no one raged about it, I will never know. I'd have demanded my money back.

Yes, even the Japanese, long praised for their sound engineering quality, aren't immune to the loudness war...

I wonder how many songs that were brickwalled on CD due to poor mastering have their actual master tracks distorted too.

Went ahead and ordered myself a copy of both Best 15 and Nyan Cat, just 'cause. The car I usually have to drive here only has a CD player so that works out for me anyway. Sadly there were no First Press left of the Nyan Cat, but I got the last one for Best 15 so...! happy.gif

I used EMS instead of FedEx so I'll let you guys know when it arrives.

Pardon me, but what do you mean by 'brickwalled'?

Sounds painful

"Brickwall" is slang for "sound wave distorted by overamplification." More details here:

I haven't received my copy yet so it wasn't me, but the encode sounds wonderful and plays flawlessly in Winamp without any gap issues. happy.gif Whoever shared, you're awesome!

It would've been today but sadly I was out running errands with family all day. Came home to a pink slip, so I'll have to head to the post office tomorrow and pick them up. Sigh.

DOUBLE POST OH SHIIIIIIIIII

Anyway, I had some teething problems with the drive I salvaged where once it spun down it wouldn't spin back up again, but I at least got it working enough to accurately rip MP3 copies of the two CDs I got today. FLACs will have to come later once I figure out what the hell's up with the drive. I don't have time to mess with it at the moment. I'm just glad it stayed alive enough to rip the two discs to MP3!

So here you guys go, first dibs on DDLs for the CDs. Torrents will be up on Nyaa and TokyoTosho soon. Help seed if you can, okay? happy.gif

[ETFanHome] Nyan Cat (320k mp3)
[ETFanHome] EXIT TRANCE PRESENTS SPEED アニメトランス BEST 15 (320k mp3)

Enjoy!

EDIT: Been a while since I did Nyaa, forgot that TokyoTosho rejects torrents without an HTTP tracker in them. So the MP3 torrents are up on Nyaa now, and as soon as I can fix my drive and get a FLAC released (hopefully within a few days) the torrent for the FLACs will be on Tosho and Nyaa. Sorry about that.

EDIT 2: The rip of Anime Best 15 is broken. The torrent has been deleted and the link has been removed. I am re-ripping it now. I am not sure what the problem was, whether it was EAC or the drive (or both) but hopefully it will be fixed this time around. Sorry for the trouble. pinch2.gif

EDIT 3: Rip has been fixed, link is back up!

Once again Nomake, you fail not to deliver. This is some good stuff - even if the song titles are all garbelty gook and I can't understand what they're saying! This feeling throws me back to 2006! biggrin.gif

Sadly the rip of Anime Trance 15 is broken. I'm not sure what the hell happened, whether it was a missed EAC setting or this ANCIENT drive fucking up (which it did do a few times), but the rip is horribly broken. It's supposed to play back gaplessly, but it doesn't.

I'm re-ripping it as we speak. Sorry for that. Removing link above now...

Well, so far the NyanCD is playing good, fingers crossed.

That CD did rip properly, I confirmed it twice after finding out that AT15 was busted. No worries there. I believe it's because AT15 is gapless and Nyan Cat is not.

EDIT: Turns out I was right about the gapless thing. I don't have time to debug what's up with this drive and EAC. This isn't my usual ripping setup so I'm not going to futz with it. I ripped the CD using iTunes and it worked perfectly. Ripping it with EAC fucks it up. So screw EAC, piece of garbage. iTunes master race! The link in my post above has been renewed with the new release. Sorry!

DOUBLE POOOOOOOOOOOST

Anyway, just wanted to note that I've posted the FLAC rips on Nyaa and TokyoTosho. My upload speed isn't the greatest but I'll be seeding them to 120% so hopefully others can pick up the slack.

Sorry for the delay, this has been a stressful experience. Lesson learned; always check the rips manually before uploading. sad.gif
