Question about Abbedd/Ansemetniac's uploads.
thoren...@yahoo.com
FLACs.After four attempts,at loading,and much tweaking,I finally got
Fluke loaded,and running good.The files are exported to iTunes,but I
can only access them,when I click on "Genres".
That is not the problem.I find a lot of Abbedd/Ansermetniac's
files,are uploaded,or transferred at a volume that is barely
audible,Not all of them,but a lot are.
This doesn't happen at all,with FLACs that other people have
uploaded,something I found interesting.
Has anybody else run into this problem?

That is the way his transfers are. I have no idea why. He also equalizes
them in a weird way that "sucks out" lots of the midrange. Presumably they
then sound "good" to him but not to everybody else. For that matter, every
person in this newsgroup is a "troll," and he is the only contributor.

But it does not explain why a chief engineer who has changed the world cannot
fabricate a proper flac file.
Could it be that he also has changed the way flac files should be made?

I downloaded one file, and which was my first, and last. Based solely on
the fact that it was virtually inaudible at maximum volume.

Yes, yes, and YES! The first time I opened one of his FLAC files
I thought my system had developed some new quirk, and I checked
every folder and setting, which I thought might be the problem.
Then, I tried other FLAC downloads from other posters and drew
the inevitable conclusion. It would be sad, really, if he did not fly
at everybody with such vehemence. Many of his offerings have been,
on the surface of things, of considerable interest, at first glance.
But it did not take long to realize that even the most fascinating
prospects were hampered and hobbled by his overriding agenda.
I notice that he posts volume upon volume of his material to
the OperaShare group, where any and all discussion, is completely
verboten, most likely to keep the peace in a well-functioning group,
which has a history of delivering the goods. I often wonder if the
members there, have caught on to his skewed aesthetic sense. (?)
I'd imagine that his number of downloads may have fallen off, as
people got the chance to listen to what they have downloaded from
him, and then gotten the chance to compare the same original
recordings, as available from from other sources.
Ah well, that's not MY problem. I just tiptoe by his postings there,
without knocking on the door

Hmm, must give that a try. And you have to increase the dynamics by how much

You should contact the guys who designed the flac format, to tell them that your
way of making these files is better and that their way (which has become some
kind of standard) sucks.
Please don't forget to design several utilities and plugg-ins and whatever
programs that are needed to decode your "flacs". Being a Giant & a Legend that
should not be any problem.
And make these programs available all over the net, also as Open Source of
course.
And call your "flac" something like "Engineer Abbedd's _Audio_ Compression that
is Liberated from the _Audio_ ",
"eaaclfta".
Or shorter: "Engineer Abbedd's Liberated Compression", "ealc".

Have a go with this FLAC:
http://www.pristinestorage.com/AT_Coriolan_1938.flac
It's Toscanini conducting the NBC SO in November 1938 in Beethoven's
Coriolan Overture. The sound is exceptionally dry and could really use
some reverberation, but otherwise it's pretty good and remarkably clean
for its era.
I've carried out an XR remastering and added Ambient Stereo processing
too it.
Here's a second version with a gentle amount of digital reverb added to
the above file - not perfect, but perhaps to some ears an improvement (I
could spend hours playing with this to get it better but you'll get the
idea):

Ogg: MY Email to the owner of the Yahoo ToscaniniFriends Group
As Mr. Powell needs to make public something that was not public, just

keep things
in the right light, you will find my answer, privately given to him.
Everybody
is free to have
its own opinion. I will add no more, with other mails which are full
off topics.
"
Jeff
I invited you just when I created Toscaninifriends, but you either
have never
received or
you ignored my mail.
The reason I created Toscaninifriends is that the "offcial" one was no
more
working at the
time, and filled by spam. When I realized the group I asked to members
to be
cool and
tolerant. When the "official" group has started again to work "my"
group was
abandoned. I
invited you twice to stop uploading files: I have received your harsh
answer. I
decided to
stop your membership after having consulted the other moderators. I
completely
ignored
Mr. Rose's (Pristine) mail: I do NOT need no suggestion by nobody.
I do not love to open unuseful discussion on the "Art of mastering":
as a
scientist which
works on digital signal processing, I find a lot of fundamental
mistakes in the
approach of
mastering of all the people I always read on the official group: it's
my custom
to read and
to keep my own opinion about what I read with myself, as I do not
believe that
nobody can
not change the mind of anybody else (and I do not want to).
If you were more careful to my messages, Toscaninifriends is so
expression of my
ego,
that I wish to definitively close it. I do not like to read the same
identical
things in five or
six groups, and my one is just only redundant.
About your uploads, I found that you have changed a lot from the time
you
uploaded very
treasures in very good quality on your site at earthlink. Just to
avoid any
misunderstanding
to appear partizan of other people I keep my way to be fully silent. I
have
received the
same sources you have from Luciano Crivello: I prefer to have only a
pass with
click repair
applications, as a radio AM is never able to give neither the original
sound nor
Music as
you intend. When I try to listen to your last productions I find a
very low
volume, which is
lower number of used bits and by consequence the lost also of
frequencies.
Probably you
have not read my ironic mail to Mr. Rose which said that his own
source of the
'35 Missa
was less rich of frequencies than your one: I hypotesize also that he
uses some
of
operashare sources!! Now that he has been joined by Mark Obert-Thorn
probably he
will
use better sources!
I have not publicly humiliated you: probably you do not take into
account that
you cannot
do anything you wish, also with friends that you have put in really
embarassing
condition.
Toscaninifriends is not a close castle: so the fact I have stopped
your
membership, though
a strong sign of disappointment, does not imply that anyone can be
admitted
again at the
simple condition to be not harsh, but cool and tolerant.

In other words, dynamic range and signal to noise ratio have been
irreversibly flushed from the source materials. Even if one were to
make adjustments for Abbedd's tampering, the result will still be
degraded.

There is nothing "pseudo" about the music, unless you consider the
works of Haydn, Beethoven, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Vaughan Williams,
Sibelius etc, to be "pseudo". We need *audio* to listen to music.
(from Latin: Audire - to hear). If you don't like CDs, don't listen to
them, but leave the rest of us in peace that we may enjoy ourselves.

If Mr. Bernstein could return from the grave and hear this desecration

This is odd. While his files sound very bad indeed, I have no difficulty

Maybe his masterings are intended to be heard with the volume knob turned all
the way up to 11? Which gives me an idea -- perhaps Abedd could be persuaded
to be the next drummer for Spinal Tap.
Gerard
That's a good suggestion.
But "Engineer Abbedd's" is absolutely required. Not only for recognizing the
crap easily.
I remember how the guy posted something in the binary newsgroups calling it:
"Engineer Abbedd's requiem".
Some kind of Abbedd compression would be appreciated. Preferably *not* lossless.
Gerard
It's a long time ago that I have decoded one of these crap-files, and it is
waste of time to do it again.
But there should be no problem to decode flac files with the other tools that
are available for this, like the simple user front-end that could (can?) be
found at the site of the makers.

I've not heard of those.
But can it be played if you change ".wv" into ".wav"?

This does not work, Total geek file format. Anyway, buying the CD
seems to solve the problem. This does not work for things that are
not available. I did not know what absolute nerds were in my fray
until recently. A pity really.

It's a non-lossy compressed file format called WavPack - do a search on
it and you'll soon come up with what you need, or try http://www.wavpack.com

I cannot speak to his manners, but I am certainly grateful for the
wonderful material he has made available to us. I am compelled to do
much of my listening in the car now, and so I have been downloading
the Toscanini flac files, converting them to wav files, and burning
them to CDR's for convenience. I normalize the dynamic range to 0 db
using DC 7, which reveals their abnormally low volume level, but
corrects it without any problem. Based only on my listening to the
Toscanini material, I am very happy with the equalization, which
strikes me as extraordinarily smooth and natural, though significantly
modified from the original. I derive enormous pleasure from them.
The Brahms 4 from Nov, 1948 is a phenomenal performance: beautifully
nuanced in the 1st mvt, with awe-inspiring control and intensity
throughout. Sorry, but AT still tickles my g-spot in a way no other
conductor can....early imprinting, I guess.

If it's not a secret, how you convert flac to wav?

Yes I cannot speak enough of the sublime pleasures I also receive. It
is like an orgasm that goes on and on and does not allow you to resume
normal activity. I have tried crack, but this drug is better. I am
shaking now in quiver anticipation of the next upload.
Go Larry Laptop go....

Another non-secret: cut the text from your quotes when you do not react on what
you quote (and add onely one single line).
