Wolfgang Voigt's GAS Project: the Poll

cool kids these days take their album and record it onto VHS tapes before throwing it up on bandcamp or pressing vinyl masters

lol none is this makes me want to actually listen to the album, esp since there's no preview option on Bandcamp

they should add a preview of only the beep

Again, I hear no beep on the CD but that might be me.

What a palaver this is.

Heard the tones clear as day last week on Spotify (SoundMagic e11 earbuds plugged into MacBook)
That evening I couldn't pick them out on the stereo (Marantz MCR610 into Q-Acoustics 2020s), same source
Today it's Sennheiser HD558s, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, USB from work laptop - definitely gone from Spotify, but clear in that YouTube clip upthread (which hasn't been updated since Dec 3)

i'm sure whenever anyone asks wolfgang voigt about it he just grimly stares at his mixer until the person goes away

The streaming version now also lacks the horrible track breaks

I sent an email to Kompakt’s Bandcamp, and this is the official word re: downloads:

1) Are the files 16 or 24 bit?

It will be 16 Bit

2) Are these the files with or without the high-frequency ping on every other kick?

files come without the high-frequency ping - the record unfortunately still contains the "problem".

3) Are the individual tracks faded out or blending seamlessly into each other?

You will receive the fade out version and the continuous file.

best regards kompakt

So that’s it: files have been depinged, but individual tracks are still fading, which I guess makes them good for shuffle. If you want a continuous experience, you always have the single mixed file, which, I guess, makes sense.

Forgot to ask if those few tracks off Rausch will/have also been depinged.

the "problem"

hahaa

do you think anyone has dared ask voigt out loud if he did that on purpose or not?

honestly, unless i were mastering or something (this is a fantasy world, ok), i don't think i would have the guts to ask
