Fac 251 opening, the slightlynarrow remaster.

Has been shared as my status on gob-book.

Will leave it at that for a while (though if anyone knows how to do it as "share a link" or whatever, feel free, cos I couldn't sus it out). Don't wanna put it on the forum first so all manner of randoms can choke the bandwidth.

I've basically scraped and shovelled about 24dB of insane rumblings, many of them subsonic, off it, so that you can actually hear the music a bit.

I think they did the same amount of work on accoustics as at Fac51

Room sounds simillar to The Apollo.....ie it's a gig INSIDE a bass-bin.

Cheers STE....i thought i had blown my speaker on the original.thanks to all those involved in getting this out to the great UNwashed.

YOU DON'T KNOW THIS ABOUT ME.....

It was unbearable at times during the gig.

Just had a quick listen to this - sounds much better. But the fucking rubbery thing has fallen off my earphones. Can you buy new fucking rubbery things on their own? I've got about ten pairs of earphones with no fucking rubbery things on.

Yes go to HMV for rubbery things 3 different sizes of rubbery things in one packet for a fiver.think they are for sony headphones but they do fit onto other headphones.

You could also try Ann Summers for rubbery things but i dont think you really wanna be putting that sort of rubbery thing in yer lug hole,having said that you may actually like that.

Just saying like and hope this helps!

Chamois and elastic, your BRITISH man!

Where could I hear this?

Or go the better route and get a big ol' set of ear cans and roll around on some skates. BOL!

And, the sound quality of the band on opening night is good, vocals can hardly be heard though.

As I said, I had to clean megagobs of rumbling off it, the room was basically acting like a tuned cabinet, it's fuckin scary when that happens, especially if you have open mics in the equation. The original recording was digital, so was happy to store all that racket, an old analogue recorder woulda seen straight through most of it.

The room ringing thing will be kick ass for dance music if handled right.

What was it like on stage? Sounds like there were monitoring issues??

Sound was generally good on stage but we had loads of issues with the D.I boxes at soundcheck and SOMETHING during the gig was spewing out LOADS of bottom end and it wasn't me.

Anyway... the actual gig was properly recorded on a 24 track Don't know when I'll get to hear that one though.

Leady reckons a bass amp and his floor tom were playing silly bastards, but to my ear it sounds like whatever issues were going on with sound, most of the rumbling is actually the room itself joining in for a laugh. Sometimes you pump so much LF into a room it just become a speaker cabinet. The original recording that alex and alejo posted is unbelievably bassy....like an earthquake. Drums sound nice though :D

How would one go about separating this 90min mp3 into individual tracks? :(

Just don't ask me how to use the fucker!

Cheers but can't make head nor tail of that :\ohwell:

Will wait to get the pro recording from the powers that be

Nero has a really good wave editor in it's audio burning part......don't tell anyone, but I've used it to master album layouts when protools has let me down. Or there's always wavelab if the old fella has a copy.

Be interested to know if the sound board recording has the same amount of bass on it....if it does then there's defo been something badly wrong, and/or your engineer was trying to impress girls "look, if I turn THIS one......". If the board recording is clean, then the club is basically a great big fuck off resonant chamber and will be grief on toast for live music but great for DJs as long as decks are fully floated (if they aren't, and the room rings THAT much, they'll be nigh on unusable).

Lemme know how it sounds when u get a listen.

And remember to recommend my dodgy live recording cleaning up services to yer dad......he's always wittering on about cleaning up and releasing various live tapes and so on......in all honesty with such rough source material, the results that I could come up with would be virtually the same as a full studio could manage.....and I'd be a LOT cheaper, like £20 an hour not £400.....and if it's one I've not heard, I'd probably do it for love.

As a little aside.....I love cleaning bass-ridden recordings like this, because you can go to town with the stereo widening effects without fucking the bottom end.....they do still hurt vocals a little but in the case of this recording, that's OK, cos there's fuck all vocal on it anyway.

PS: With audacity, just zoom to a level where you can easily see the quieter bits between tracks, then just select a track (from quiet to quiet) with the mouse, and hit copy, then into the edit menu and go for "paste to new" if it's there, or just create a new file from the file menu (making sure to set it to 44.1KHz Stereo 16bit if asked), and paste it into that one. Will prob run a bit sluggish as it has to decompress the mp3 to work on it.

I used my old copy of Acid Pro to chop and clean. Turned out pretty good.
