Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

[beerking]

i ought to have said a bit more, sorry! other 'surround friendly' engineers were involved in the various Crossroads releases over the years including Chuck Ainlay & Ed Cherney but afaik they were Elliot Scheiner's babies

It's fine, it wasn't meant as a slight ..just a nice surprise!!
Should have guessed with the quality!!

The engineers listing credits Scheiner for three Crossroads Guitar Festival releases: 2004, 2007, 2010. Is there one that stands above the others?

tbh i can't remember a thing about any of them, its been a long time with a lot of Quads filling up my surround memory banks in the last few years 1 or 2 comparative comments in the past on QQ seemed to suggest that the '04 & '07 DVDs had better surround mixes than the 2010 BD?

Corse I go to rip it and nothing on metadata, so I input the artists and their songs but I forgot its got a fair bit of talking in-between the songs which meant nothing I entered lined up ...Der

Will give that another shot laters.

This is too good to worry about that right now.

I am no connoisseur, but that is one gorgeous looking bud.

Thank you

By the way, in case some may not know, Metallica did the black album cover as an homage to Spinal Tap, who originally wanted their album 'Smell the Glove' to have a man holding a girl by a leash and shoving a glove in her face, but the record company deemed it too sexist, so they just made the cover black.

It may be sacrilege, but this excellent ES mix needs some boosting of the rear channel levels, so I spent the day adjusting the rear channels of each song individually, then using "adjustable fade" to make sure all the crowd noises/songs flow seamlessly... what a great-sounding concert! (And lots of discrete rear channel goodies )

Well, 2004 looks like a good line-up, so I guess I'm starting with that one, lol!

Is there a thread for this? If not, what are your impressions about how it compares to Deep?

I'd have to listen to both to give a fair assessment.
I struggle a tiny bit with some vocal moments on this new one, but they give you an instrumental option.
I found it very enjoyable.
