just downloaded the 320kbps issue - it's definitely a mastering issue, these sound exactly the same as the ones I have on my iphone
― dayo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
or idk I'll give the new set a listen when I get home on my good headphones - feel like it's the old songs tho
― dayo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
also lol @ the idea of telling the difference between 128 kbps and 320 kbps from a macbook sound out - it's in yer head dude
― dayo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
esp if you spend all your time in nightclubs w/ nightclub sound systems
― dayo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:19 (twelve years ago) link
they sound completely different to me. you can actually hear the bass, everything sounds crisper
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:21 (twelve years ago) link
what song sounds like an improvement to the old version?

this is totally wrong btw
― v-shasty, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
i mean if you played some random song out of a computer it would be hard to just guess the kbps off your head, but if you play a true 128 vs a true 320 out of a computer (through decent speakers/headphones) the difference is p obvious
― v-shasty, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
i haven't downloaded this exact thing tho
"vibrate" and "bulletproof" were the ones i played
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
haha those were the two I played too - I couldn't hear a diff between my laptop out and my iphone out. but I'll go home and check again w/ my DAC/amp and nice big headphones
― dayo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:26 (twelve years ago) link
i prob couldn't tell just off macbook speakers either, my macbook's plugged into proper speakers though

yeah it is
― surm, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:35 (twelve years ago) link
128 to 320 is noticeable on laptop speaks but 192 to 320, theres no way
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:35 (twelve years ago) link
I'm listening through earphones!
I mean I guess it's possible that overall there's more lowend/highs in the 320kbps version. but it still sounds like a mixtape that needs mastering - like compare the 320 kbps 'vibrate' or 'bulletproof' to 'ass on the floor' or any of the tracks from LTTP, bet you there's a huge difference
― dayo, Saturday, 10 December 2011 22:37 (twelve years ago) link
lol well - if there's ever a ILX R&B fap we'll do some double blind A/B testing w/ your computers and headphones and you tell me
okay I'm listening on my nice headphone setup at home - there is little to no difference, maybe the bass is fuller (probably more amplified on speakers)
but if you could do a double-blind test and accurately pick out the 320 over the 160 original, I'm impressed
what this really needs is a proper mastering
like switching from this (the 320) to like, idk, pretty girl rock or something, the difference is stark

the dawn richard still sounds awful, it's a good record though
― sisilafami, Sunday, 11 December 2011 12:11 (twelve years ago) link
i listened to it on headphones on the bus last night, dayo and i are both right - it is def crisper and bassier than the version she uploaded originally but yes, it still basically sounds unmastered :(

That CJ Hilton song is one J. Cole verse short of being "All I Want Is You."

Missed Anthony Hamilton on the Live! with Kelly live! morning tv talk show this morning. Not on youtube yet, I don't think
Michelle Pfeiffer; Anthony Hamilton (music guest); Matt Bean (Men's Health magazine); Kevin Jonas (guest cohost).

this anthony hamilton is so gorgeous!
― gucc_ebooks (tpp), Tuesday, 13 December 2011 21:45 (twelve years ago) link
yeah my favourites i think are "pray for me", "never let go" and "sucka for you".
could do w/o "baby girl", i've had enough of dudes singing fallen woman clichés.
― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Tuesday, 13 December 2011 21:58 (twelve years ago) link
not that into the Hamilton, feel like the Saadiq and the Thicke (among others) have much more interesting and effective mixes of old and new. and "Sucka For You" is just awful.

the g-side manager was RT'ing all these ppl clowning anthony hamilton for doing plantation songs the other day
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
the idea i got was it was that it was a little TOO retro
― joey joe joe junior shabadoo, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link
nb i havent heard the record yet
this album isn't any more retro than his other albums (probably less). but 'plantation songs'? that's p fucked up.
― Mr. Stevenson #2, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 22:16 (twelve years ago) link
idk i think folks were joking/exaggerating. taking it out of context here might be a bit misleading

god i hate the elle varner single so much

really?! which one, "refill"? i'm at the stage of "watching with interest" rather than "actively raving about her" but i can't hear anything there to particularly hate...
