1993.03.01 - Mexico City, Mexico

Post by frantik2k3 »

Hello,

I am currently trading for a lossless version of the 1993-03-01 Mexico City, Mexico audience recording and the trader sent me the frequency analysis test below.

Just wondering if it looks good or not... I can not tell for the life of me :P

Thanks for any input!

Most mp3 sourced drops off suddenly, not sloping like that, I would ask for a spectrum analysis as well and ask them to zoom in, between both it might be easier to tell. That spike looks a bit weird as well, could it be ripped from a DVd because I've seen that on audio which has been ripped from DVD.

Here is graph from my copy of the show.

This is not an mp3. It might be transfered from cassette with minidisc however.

hi just click the link i posted above and view it closely read the page it will explain it all,
;)
yes okay, but without even looking at the link, I can tell you that if one signal is about -80 db and another is -120 db the -80 is a higher quality signal. Take that into account first. This is fact.

Now looking at your link, the lossles shows have an average db of -50. To me Frantic's is the superior quality version. On BMR's version after 14 KHZ, the signal plummets further down than Frantic's.
Its dark. People are screaming and yelling. Firebombs are exploding. Adrenaline is flowing. Chaos ensues. Where am I? A Metallica show!!!!
