matt's link above is still working

I had to look up coniptiulated and still don't know what it means, but hey, I guess I can only respect your bowels and your soul (pending the dictionary entry on coniptiulated you may need to ad "only so much" to that)

before you start inventing saying and write them on the wall, where does "I guess" come into all of this??

if you are unsure whether you need to understand why, then "why not" is a perfectly nice answer. until you can wrap your mind around the "why" part, I'd stick with "why not". Just turn the question around and it's all so much easier and more fun too. and that may be the answer to "why", I mean why not?

I guess I need to understand your question before I can answer it.

What you describe, would be a type of (dynamic range) compression, right? Applying different amounts of gain for different parts of the song. I have seen the term "normalisation" used for that as well, particularly in audio programmes. I'm no expert on these terms, but I have always used them in the sense wikipedia does. Anyone know?

The last part (italics by me) is false. yes, that part is weird

I think they mean the same by amplification and normalisation, as in applying a constant amount of gain (=turning volume knob), maximising volume without distorting the signal. As they are applying it to sides of an album and not to single songs and as long as there are no distinct differences between the audio level of the 2 sides, this should work out fine and not affect the dynamics.

good point. Is it not possible to edit mistakes out from an overview list of performer names?

That's not the point, or at least, I wouldn't do that. I've checked data with Lord's discography for my own research, and there are some mistakes and a lot of inaccurate or incomplete things, as well as some things he doesn't have. AFAIK, what's in Mike's site is more reliable than Lord's. well, it is the point as you seem to have overlooked the word "edit" in my post. Get the bulk from Lord and then check it and correct it. I think that would amount to less work than typing it all up from scratch, particularly if you are dealing with big bands with loads of names to type in with each session. Of course the stuff in Brian is more reliable, but the point is how to get it into Brian and for the moment the only way is to type it up, which means that everything that has been typed up already in some other format needs to be typed up again.

did they upgrade the Brian programme so that data in other format can be imported? Then folks could copy-paste from Lord, reformat in whatever way and import into Brian, edit it and put it out there on the web for free.

I perfectly understand Hans, there actually is a lot of mudslinging and rudeness here, combined with some clinical self-righteousness. The perpetrators are highly valued by the community, however, and so all is deemed good with freedom of expression as a perfect hideout. If you want to catch the ball, please do, but these are my last words on it for now. I am merely expressing my impression, freedom of and all that.

the version on Gil Cuppini's album is marvellous with a beautiful contribution by Barney Wilen.

I propose Aloc's next avatar be Courbet's Origin du Monde. Let's see who opposes to that and why.

yes, what is the best sounding version of Soul Station?

NO! it's too big, dump it.
