dave-O Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hey Del, let me know how this sounds. I have my source for this show sitting on my PC waiting for some EQing and touching up. I don't remember seeing another mic stand in the Attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just listening to it now dave-O, it sounds alright... Mildly chatty (not overly so), Dave's guitar sounds a little muffled (might be the venue) and Punk's bass could be a little louder (just a little, it's still there). Just for laughs, why not do up your copy so we can compare... I'm always looking for the best possible source for my shows, particularly my nero shows, so it would be nice to have two sources to choose from... Or you could just download the source I have from the archive, compare yourself, and get back to me. If your's is better, I'd love to grab a copy...

Del Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Also, what happened to your nero/Blue Quarter seamless recording? Will that ever see the light of day? I remember you having some sort of problem with it, but I forget what... I'd love to have something on disc from that night, not the best show but I had a great time. I think whatever you have is all that exists... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Didn't I give you what we got out of the nero-BQ night? I gave it to someone (BradM? Sloth? Booche?). The story goes something like this... Tungsten was recording the show, his gear crapped out. Somehow BradM and I threw a rig together on the fly. The best part of the recording is you can hear Eric, Andre, Brad and I - extremely intoxicated - trying to trouble-shoot the gear. But no, the show doesn't sound great.

Del Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just spoke to bradm, he's got it... We're going to work something out... He told me the story, and it jogged my hazy memory from that night... Thanks dave-O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 The best part of the recording is you can hear Eric, Andre, Brad and I - extremely intoxicated - trying to trouble-shoot the gear. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 In defense of anything I may have said on that recording while extremely intoxicated, I'll note that I wasn't actually supposed to be taping that night. Instead, I was working the merch table as a favour to Velvet (IIRC, this was a CD release thing for "SoOn", and Velvet needed/wanted to be out and about on the floor and at the door), and, well, he kept me more than adequately supplied with refreshing beverages. IIRC, Tungsten came up to me at the merch table, and said that his MD recorder was dead. I just about sprung into action, found dave-O, asked if he had his MD, which he did, I got my mics, and the rest is down in the historical (or is that hysterical?) record. For the record, the show was Saturday, Sept. 6, 2003. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Let the record show that I was extremely intoxicated. I think ER made me jump onstage and do something as well. "Flick that switch over there." ? All I know is that the look on Lauzon's face while I was staggering through patch chords was priceless. We were meeeeeeessy.

Del Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 That was a pretty messy night... I think I almost got thrown out of the bar that night... Jaybone saved my ass... Or was that the 4-20 show? I can't remember, every nero show I saw in Ottawa I was pretty messed up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 "You want me to get up on stage???" Good thing that fu©ker is getting married. He is trouble in my world and I listen to him without thought. I'm an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Two standouts on the 2004-11-13 show so far: Centragnome and Lemondust! One of the better Lemondusts I've heard in awhile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I remember joking about us being the most unlikely 'tech-support' crew for the job, I was in no shape for troubleshooting anything beyond keeping vertical...i'm sure those conversations are hilarious if not non-sensical....

dave-O Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Update on nero 2004-11-13... I tracked the show last night and I think you'll like my source, a bit chatty in spots, but not too bad overall. BradM, can I get quick "upload to the archive" tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 BradM, can I get quick "upload to the archive" tutorial? Here goes... 1. First, you need a user ID on archive.org: http://www.archive.org/account/login.createaccount.php 2. With that, you need to prepare the show for upload. You'll need: 1. The audio files, named the usual way, e.g., "nero2004-11-13d1t01.shn" for the first track on the first disc of nero's 2004-11-13 show. I use "Shorten" (available here) to convert .wav files to .shn files. 2. A text file describing the show (named, e.g., "nero2004-11-13.txt"); check out "Creating An Info File" here. 3. One "MD5" checksum file per disc; I use "MD5Sum" (available here), so you'd have "nero2004-11-13d1.md5" and "nero2004-11-13d2.md5", created using MD5Sum by doing: md5sum nero2004-11-13d1*.shn > nero2004-11-13d1.md5 md5sum nero2004-11-13d2*.shn > nero2004-11-13d2.md5 4. With all the files, you're ready to upload. I use a command-line FTP client (under WinXP), and do: ftp audio-uploads.archive.org with the user ID (your e-mail address) and password created in step #1. Once logged in, first set the transfer mode to binary, typically done by issuing the "bin" command. After this, create a directory for your files. For this show, and SHN files, the directory would be created using the following FTP command: mkdir nero2004-11-13.shnf (the "shnf" stands for "shorten folder", I think). Then go into the directory: cd nero2004-11-13.shnf and do an FTP "put" on each file to be transferred. Once the transfer is complete, quit the FTP program. 5. You now use archive.org's web pages to import the upload: http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-contribute.php?stage=upload_info is the starting place. You end up going to some web page forms to fill in the info for the concert, and then the per-file (or per-track) info. Once that's all complete, archive.org takes over, and typically a few hours later, the show is available for download. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 But no, the show doesn't sound great. I've got it on right now, and the opening track, "Lemondust > Basheeba > Lemondust" is actually pretty good, and better sounding than I remember it. What I don't remember is what the order was. I thought it was nero / BQ / nero / BQ, but it seems like Blue Quarter opened the show up. Does anybody remember? Also, dave-O: is the show two CDs or three? I thought it was three, but I can only find two CDs. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
