        [00:19] brianfreud I wonder if I'm the only one who has ever wished "add track" and "remove track" also had newbie filters, like "add NAT" does... no, brianfreud, youre not the only one, i wish that too. actually i wished that in high Q its NOT possible to edit them.

        MClemo: I'd suggest to use 'other vocal' for the dialogue performers.
      • 2007-11-27 33117, 2007

      • MClemo
        shouldn't there be something like "speech" for dialogue tracks with artist [dialogue]?
      • 2007-11-27 33120, 2007

      • bplatt_
        Ideally we'd have a 'has spoken vocal by' AR, but until we do 'other' vocal is the best we can do.

        can i interest anyone in a debate about if and when the arranger/transcriber of a work should make it in the track title?

      • 2007-11-27 33131, 2007

      • CatCat
        can see that if it is a remix
      • 2007-11-27 33144, 2007

      • CatCat
        would you call the arranger info "version" info
      • 2007-11-27 33146, 2007

      • CatCat
        ?
      • 2007-11-27 33104, 2007

      • CatCat
        like "this is the "name of arranger"'s version"
      • 2007-11-27 33120, 2007

      • CatCat
        its significant to understand wich versino of the track it is
      • 2007-11-27 33130, 2007

      • CatCat
        if so, then ok, but else, no

        for classical there is proper ars, there is no need for track things, in classical the rackname is long enough as it is

      • 2007-11-27 33137, 2007

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: still I put (transcribed: Ferruccio Busoni) in the track name, because on a lot of releases he is credited as part author
      • 2007-11-27 33149, 2007

      • xlotlu
        i.e.: Bach - Busoni
      • 2007-11-27 33116, 2007

      • xlotlu
        and I've also seen cases of Busoni as single artist
      • 2007-11-27 33123, 2007

      • brianfreud
        Isn't there rather a difference between an instrumentator (takes a work (ie, symphony) and adds a line for another instrument) and what is done to make a transcription/reduction/redaction?
      • 2007-11-27 33135, 2007

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: closest to a proper AR there is, though
      • 2007-11-27 33123, 2007

      • xlotlu
        and transcribing from multiple instruments to a single one, or from organ to piano is imho a lot more complicated than instrumentation in that sense

        thus my calling it "highly interesting" :)
      • 2007-11-27 33116, 2007

      • MClemo
        320 kbps mp3s is about the dumbest thing. totally sucks for portables where lame -V 5 is good enough (for me) and for classical you often don't have much higher bitrates with lossless anyway
      • 2007-11-27 33142, 2007

      • xlotlu
        MClemo: re-encode it for portable
      • 2007-11-27 33144, 2007

      • MClemo
        transcoding from mp3 to mp3 is not so good an idea either
      • 2007-11-27 33141, 2007

      • brianfreud
        I'd probably mp3repack it, turn it into apx V0 (without transcoding)

      • MClemo
        yeah, that's the interesting part, that titles are including they don't sell anymore
      • 2007-11-27 33144, 2007

      • xlotlu

        I average around 8€ maybe for new CDs (not so much classical, though)
      • 2007-11-27 33101, 2007

      • MClemo

      • 2007-11-27 33141, 2007

      • MClemo
        there's an AR for the arranger
      • 2007-11-27 33152, 2007

      • MClemo
        do you have the link to the edit? or was this in irc?

      • brianfreud
        If I get the discussion xlotlu - MClemo, sounds a lot like the discussion we had a week or so ago about the "contains theme from x by y" "is a transcription of x by y" etc
