Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

I mean, kinda, but you'll end up with more crowd noise too

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

Yeah the orchestra overall was a bit low, as was Mark's guitar

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

Well that's where legality comes creeping in, but it's super simple to do yourself :) I ripped the Blu-Ray to mkv using MakeMKV Converted the DTS-HD MA track to FLAC using eac3to Imported that FLAC file to Audacity Each channel is imported as their own track. L, R, C, LFE, Surr L, Surr R Highlight ...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

You'd only introduce distortion if you went beyond certain levels, right? I'm a firm believer that once you create elements that aren't there, unless said program is insanely good at extrapolating information, that doing something like that is never a sound idea (pun intended). I think you'll intro...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

You'd only introduce distortion if you went beyond certain levels, right? And what makes you say that Audacity can't do 24bit? I EQ'd all the tracks a bit, and just tested it out, it helps a lot but not quite there yet, need to play around some more: https://i.imgur.com/yR6b8sh.png Anyone who's seen...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

From isolating the tracks, it seems the centre channel was mostly Myles vocals + Brian's bass. But there's just no low-end at all

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

Here's a breakdown of the track waveforms, not sure why they bothered having an LFE track at all

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

So, I've got lots of thoughts, but my main one is: where the hell is the bass?! I boosted my sub 6dB and even then it was way too quiet. Not trying to show off, but my setup is pretty killer, and will convince you the house is collapsing at times. But wow, the bass was so quiet, easily 10-15dB quiet...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

I am happy to confirm that on the DVD, the audio options are Dolby Digital 2.0 or Dolby Digital 5.1
On the Blu-Ray, they're LPCM Stereo (24/48) and DTS-HD MA 5.1 (24/48)

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

I received my gold bundle from the Alter Bridge web store this morning. My one wish is that more of the orchestra could be heard. Sadly I don't have 5.1 so I tried listening to about 1/4 of the show in stereo which is blasphemy I know but then I decided to go ahead and switch over to 5.1 audio for ...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

I ordered mine from Amazon with free shipping and it says it won't arrive until Sept. 14. Hasn't shipped yet. I looked at upgrading my shipping so I could get it by this weekend but it said it would be like $22 for 2-day shipping and $30 something for 1-day. I'd rather not double the price of my or...

Shoot, this isn't good if it's a lossy codec.
It's inexcusable really, but I'll wait until I have my copy to find out

The behind the scenes footage added between songs really bring a uniqueness to it. Many highlights throughout the show. The orchestra blended in beautifully adding depth to a l...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

The guitar has a little too much distortion during the verses. A clean channel would've came in handy I guess. :shrug It's not like he doesn't have one, he just tends to roll off the volume knob instead Personally I prefer a clean channel, hitting a button with your foot is way easier than balancin...

Re: Alter Bridge - Live At The Royal Albert Hall

So the first 2 discs are audio, and the 3rd disc is the full length concert on DVD/Blu-Ray?
