Oy. Today was a long day. Our department took a record number of calls. On the line the general public uses, there was at one point 2,500 folks on hold, and the hold time reached over 5 hours.

Umm...that was me, too.

It sounds like they're using AudioShake for splitting into stems to do their simulated stereo. So I suspect someone along the way is also paying AudioShake (or perhaps a competitor) for their technology.

MichaelG · « **Reply #245 on:** December 15, 2025, 09:24:40 PM »

Or maybe it is someone else. Last I checked AudioShake didn't do well with large ensembles, just small combos, but maybe it's better now.

He never said he was the first to use ProTools, just that he was an early adopter of SoundDesigner II.

As they used to say on cheap reissue labels in the ‘60s…

“Electronically processed to simulate stereo.”

Rodzinski · « **Reply #248 on:** December 15, 2025, 10:08:05 PM »

I always wonder if I play a fake stereo reprocess like that but switch my receiver to mono, am I getting the true mono or some muddled other creature entirely.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #249 on:** December 15, 2025, 10:10:29 PM »

The Pickwick label is a bad one for stereo simulations and reissues where there are 10 songs instead of the original’s 12 or whatnot.

Yes, exactly, but now there's AI to help the electronic processing! And it probably does sound better than those older fake stereos.

I really doubt you'd get the true (e.g. original) mono. Especially with these newer ones where there's supposed to be a lot more processing going on than just panning separate stems.

Finished with my viewing.

We used tech to separate the vocals from the band on the vocals we could save for The Sherman Brothers Album. Doesn't work on duets at all and even on some solos.

I'm listening to the "Digitally Extracted Stereo" Damn Yankees and to my untrained ears it does sound pretty good.

George · « **Reply #255 on:** December 16, 2025, 12:06:52 AM »

I couldn't find my original mono CD release, so I can't compare. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #256 on:** December 16, 2025, 12:06:59 AM »

BK, you and some of the others here know what to listen for, but I don't, so I'm enjoying it.

George · « **Reply #257 on:** December 16, 2025, 12:07:41 AM »

If nothing else, it just sounds a lot better than my original CD.

bk · « **Reply #258 on:** December 16, 2025, 01:23:19 AM »

George, why don't you make me an mp3 of the CD and send - that way I can hear what they've done.

bk · « **Reply #259 on:** December 16, 2025, 01:23:27 AM »

New notes are up.

Up are new notes.

I've seen them.

bk · « **Reply #262 on:** December 16, 2025, 01:23:54 AM »

I've read them.

bk · « **Reply #263 on:** December 16, 2025, 01:24:01 AM »

I wrote them.

You can read them if you so choose.

They won't give you the blues.
