StompingTurdle

So bummed I missed out on this. I was working and at school all day. I didn't even realize it had gone up. If anyone has an extra, that isn't too overly inflated. I'd be extremely grateful

Can anyone confirm whether or not the d-side etching on the S/T repress is any more visible than on the original?

I never posted that I got my GH by store pick up earlier this week, but furthermore. My C/D Disc has 2 D Side labels.. I like to tell myself I won a prize or something, where do I redeem for getting the 1/1 Double D Variant?

Yeah man those arm bars sucked on the back of my forearm, I'm super pumped on how well it came out.

Couldn't figure out how to attach the photo so here's a link, this is my first tattoo.

I just got off the bench. I love it so much.

Just gonna leave this here.. Thought you guys might appreciate it

I think an entire discography repress series with a new variant and alternative artwork on all the sleeves would be awesome

Yeah, I understand but it was more of a joke than A serious suggestion.  And how can you "steal from yourself"

  well pirating music in theory is stealing from my teachers, friends and coworkers everyone in the industry. It's like an insult. I personally don't mind paying for any medium of music that I really sincerely care about. Including the splatter release and my CD I've bought Self Titled I think 3 times in my life this far.

do you work for a record label??

I'm the assistant studio engineer and lead sound stage engineer at a recording studio.

Or you could spend the extra 0$ and get an MP3/FLAC off of pirate bay...not like I've ever done that.

Because I work in the industry and that would technically be stealing from myself. And I prefer WAV over FLAC any day because of the iTunes compatibility

Why don't you guys just spend like the extra $8 and get the CD you'll be able to extract better audio quality files than mp3 that way.

One thing I haven't seen asked and it's not on the OP is, if this is going to be the deluxe edition or the version I don't care about?

Travis has to warn people now before something comes of the site?

Usually before something sells out on their site there's a red warning on the item listing, "Almost Out of Stock" I'm sure this is what he's referring to

Just stopped by to pick up my copies of Dude Ranch from my in-store order. Looks like I was fortunate enough to get one of the more splattered copies

EDIT: Just realized I never did this one, so here's my copy of Buddha.

He never posts them before the record sells out online, this is how it's been. Why don't you guys just order them online and ship to store. It's so much easier to have that peace of mind. I don't even try to go to my local shops anymore

I actually pre-ordered the all 3 Deluxe Editions through amazon in march when they were announced. So far I've recieved 2 $5 compensation certificates this week along with the delay notifications

Yeah I suggest just calling. I went into my local shop and they said they're getting greatest hits and self titled but didn't get buddha or dude ranch. Just ask them to check their inventory order list

On topic, I got my copy of EOTS today (Thanks Evan Almighty!)

 

I noticed that the back of the sleeve is oriented differently to the front. As in if you look at the cover and turn it round, the back is on it's side. That's weird.

Is it like that on the other presses?

EOTS has been like this since day one. I have the original CD which is just like this pressing. Artwork wise

Just found out i ended my pro tools course with an a+ have the rest of the day off and just received the email stating my copy of Buddha is ready for pick up. This is gonna be a good day

'Dude Ranch' sounds great, but the edit on 'Lemmings' is bumming me out.

Oh dear god no. Not another edit. Let the chaos begin. What was the edit?

As long as I can get something with at least a 1/8" stereo out I have a stereo splitter cable that I can use to run into mono channel inputs in Pro Tools and Input Monitor through my Studio Monitor Speakers

That's your problem, bro.

 

 

and there ya go

 

 

Oof.

Haha yes. Thank you from the peanut gallery. I'm well aware my player is less than acceptable. It's kinda all I've ever had. And for what I've heard Legit turn tables are kinda pricey and I'm super tight on cash. So for now it'll have to do I suppose. 

You should get a turntable with a stronger motor then because warping doesn't affect sound it just makes tracking more difficult. If you're experiencing changing tones then your table is struggling to spin past the warp, a tone dropping means it's spinning slower.

That would make sense. I wouldn't say I have a good turn table AT ALL, I was about to post a WTB thread for one. Because what I have is actually one of those Crosley 5 in 1's, I haven't liked it since day 1 but it was a gift from my mother. 

For anyone who doesn't know what a "semitone" is, here you go.

 

In twelve-tone equal temperament all semitones are equal in size (100 cents). In other tuning systems, "semitone" refers to a family of intervals that may vary both in size and name. In Pythagorean tuning, seven semitones out of twelve are diatonic, with ratio 256:243 or 90.2 cents (Pythagorean limma), and the other five are chromatic, with ratio 2187:2048 or 113.7 cents (Pythagorean apotome); they differ by the Pythagorean comma of ratio 531441:524288 or 23.5 cents. In quarter-comma meantone, seven of them are diatonic, and 117.1 cents wide, while the other five are chromatic, and 76.0 cents wide; they differ by the lesser diesis of ratio 128:125 or 41.1 cents. 12-tone scales tuned in just intonation typically define three or four kinds of semitones. For instance, Asymmetric five-limit tuning yields chromatic semitones with ratios 25:24 (70.7 cents) and 135:128 (92.2 cents), and diatonic semitones with ratios 16:15 (111.7 cents) and 27:25 (133.2 cents).

I would up vote this but for some reason it won't let me. It might be because I hit my limit less than 24 hours ago.

What does the warp do to the first song soundwise? Does it just jump around?

No the needle doesn't jump at all. It kinda just drops the key of the song by about half a semitone for a second or two

Well it's pretty decently hot out in LA today. I left it out in the sun for about a half hour under glass from a picture frame. Should be stated that it's not been fixed 100% but it's loads better than it was yesterday. When I say not completely I mean about half of the first track is still minorly warped. But The songs going in to the center of the record are cured
