    every time you say something negative about the band someone tames you LMAO
  3. Compared to the other XM captures: quality = the best
  4. It's from one of the scheduled rebroadcasts, but there's also a rip of the on-demand broadcast included in a subfolder.
  5. Did you compare? I've heard that the on-demand was a lower bitrate whereas the scheduled rebroadcasts were better.

    Noticed more artifacting on the higher end on your rip compared to the digital capture I received of the initial broadcast. In theory it could be additional artifacts from resample step.
  6. Just comparing the two by ear, the 'live' version is leagues ahead of the on-demand version. Let me grab the spectrograms of the raw files...

  7. On-Demand
  8. Yeah the on-demand version is mush.

  9. Live rebroadcast
  10. The files are 5hrs long, since they include extra songs/shows... The on-demand one has three-ish hours after the concert, while the rebroadcast has it before.

    I can upload the spectrograms just of the shows, if you would like.
  11. Up to you. I'd be curious how it compares to the 3/17/2024 digital capture of the original broadcast if you're up for it.
