PlayClassics Truthful Recording Technology v1.1

[mansr]

I'd like the new version of Polish Songs and Iberia, please.

Yes, I do recall the "giveaway" and when it meant I had to send a PM for a download code I elected not to do so. I'm deeply suspicious by nature and have always been wary of a "free gift".

 

If you would like people to enjoy samples of your recordings, then make them available as a download with no questions asked.

 

If your interest is with building a potential client list for commercial purposes, I'm not interested in that type of marketing approach.

 

Thank you.

 

What was the purpose of this post? If you don't want a free sample, don't ask for one. It's your choice, so stop whining about it.

 

Of course this giveaway is a marketing strategy. That doesn't mean there are any hidden strings attached.

The purpose was self-explanatory, and obviously beyond your understanding.

 

I see. You came here to antagonise people and be generally rude.

[mansr]

Point made. I agree I was being a bit reactionary. My concern is that living in a digital world I'm cautious about whom I allow past the gates. Anyone wanting personal information needs a better reason than my being able to hear a song.

 

You're already posting on this forum. No information beyond your nickname here was requested.

I have a new one. This would be version 1.1c.

 

I have uploaded all the version comparison demos on to a free access directory so that anyone can download them without the need for a code. Here are the links to all the version comparison demos:

v1.0: this is the one from the original giveaway thread

v1.1a: this is our first attempt to try to take away the resonance on the low part of the spectrum (95Hz)

v1.1b: after trying to take away the resonance the overall balance changed, so here we tried to restore it

v1.1c: here I measured again for the resonance. This time I came up with 85Hz (not 95Hz). I did not touch the overall balance.

 

The resonance we are trying to fix is on the left hand of version 1.0 from second 36 to second 46.

 

Doing a spectrum analysis of the files, I notice two things:

 

1. The filter around 85 Hz in 1.1c is sharper than the one used in 1.1a/b.

2. 1.1a/b has a dip at 500-600 Hz, 1.1c does not.

 

Listening, I honestly don't hear all that much difference. Perhaps it would have been easier to notice with a less busy piece of music.

Hi Mansr,

Since you did not mention 1.0 at all, may I ask:

1. whether or not it does not have any filtering around 85 Hz as indicated in your point 1;

2. whether or not it has no dip at 500-600 Hz as in point 2.

And

Does it have any other differences compared with 1.1c?

 

Those observations were with 1.0 as reference. Sorry for not being clear about that.
