The CD is QUARK/regular matrix encoded (involve/dlp2 compatible)Amazon Canada
Update: this must be the CD version, not the blu-ray. It's confusing to me because the image says "Quadrophonic".

I was the Warner Bros local promo mgr in NYC from about 1988 - 1997 so we would not have overlapped - but I was very friendly with the Interscope rep during those days - so many laughs, so many good memories, and so much great musicI was based in LA but in NY semi-often. 1999-2006. We’re you there too?

Thank you for the listen and great feedback. I hear what you’re saying on the drums. There are two drum kits.Giving these a listen...
There's a lot to like here! Right off the bat, this has proper levels for rock (-12 LUFS) and it isn't shrill garbage that sounds like it was mastered on speakers with blown out tweeters! (Something many major labels can't figure out nowadays.)
I like the punk vibe too!
The critique then:
You have actual digital clipping! Never acceptable. The lowly Waves L2 would clean up what was probably 1 - 4db overs.
Lots of mud and masking! And then putting the drums in big mono in all speakers adds to that.
I get that there's a punk and bombastic vibe here and respect that! Just a bit more discrete though and go after the masking so you can more clearly here the instruments would serve this well and not ruin it. It kind of sounds like you're intentionally trying to hide the drum performance.
Still better than a lot of recent major label releases as is!
Oh, and put the finals into 5.1 format with blank C & Lfe channels for all the media players that don't conform to format standards.
-0.1dBFS, or -0.1dBTP? If it's not true peak, you've likely got intersample peaks over 0dBFS.Scary that you’re getting any overs, though. These are limited to -0.1dB.
Excellent ear. We really worked to keep dynamics but clearly pushed it a little too hard. I will do better next time because of your thoughtful feedback. You've made some excellent points on this forum that I highly respect... this being one of them. Thank you @jimfisheye for the thorough listen and review.Looks like you clipped it and THEN normalized THAT to -0.1dbfs.
Perhaps meant to export the file at 32 bit floating point (which allows positive values) before final limiting but accidentally exported that at 24 bit fixed? That would do it.
Zoomed out, one might assume those flat areas are just very light peak limiting of some stray peaks. Zooming in... Clipped!

Quick question: do you expect Amazon US will carry the Blu-Ray version?Lots of good times.
DittoBurning Shed have just said my copy is on its way![]()
I haven't gotten a clear answer but I have a strong feeling not since I think only the German label is doing the Blu-RayQuick question: do you expect Amazon US will carry the Blu-Ray version?
Might save on postage…
Thanks
InsideOut does (or did?) have a U.S. subsidiary. Plus, it's distributed by Sony, so that should increase global market penetration and availability. None of this guarantees U.S. distribution of all InsideOut releases, of course.I haven't gotten a clear answer but I have a strong feeling not since I think only the German label is doing the Blu-Ray
