        actually was productive, I think.
      • 2013-05-16 13654, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        is this to do with your track numbering proposal thingy?
      • 2013-05-16 13658, 2013

      • hawke_1
        yeah
      • 2013-05-16 13603, 2013

      • hawke_1
        new RFC just out for that one too.
      • 2013-05-16 13608, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        ahh ok
      • 2013-05-16 13630, 2013

      • hawke_1
        (changes based on discussion)
      • 2013-05-16 13654, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        I think recording def is mostly done
      • 2013-05-16 13606, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        lixobix isn't happy yet, but I think most other people are
      • 2013-05-16 13611, 2013

      • hawke_1
        at this point I am pretty sick of that thread, and I have been satisfied with pretty much every iteration since the start of this month (or thereabouts)
      • 2013-05-16 13620, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        hawke_1: I know the feeling :P
      • 2013-05-16 13630, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        I don't know anyone who isn't sick of the thread :P
      • 2013-05-16 13638, 2013

      • reosarevok
        I'm not!
      • 2013-05-16 13638, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        it must hold the record for the longest ever discussion on style
      • 2013-05-16 13642, 2013

      • reosarevok
        (because I didn't read it :p)
      • 2013-05-16 13647, 2013

      • hawke_1
        certainly has to be up there.
      • 2013-05-16 13658, 2013

      • reosarevok
        And it's not even for a style guideline
      • 2013-05-16 13600, 2013

      • reosarevok
        The irony
      • 2013-05-16 13611, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        well
      • 2013-05-16 13631, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        I mean, the thread is counted in nabble as the same one as the style guideline
      • 2013-05-16 13638, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        so it has about 450 posts
      • 2013-05-16 13600, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        which is quite impressive considering only 5 people are posting regularly :P

        Once it got past whether the EM waves generated by a moving magnet were technically sound, I gave up.

      • hawke_1
        LordSputnik: does waveplot have a webservice? would it be hard to expose the DR number on that so that a userscript could look it up?
      • 2013-05-16 13613, 2013

      • LordSputnik

        Can anyone remember any releases that skip track numbers?
      • 2013-05-16 13651, 2013

      • hawke_1
        I know there are some out there…
      • 2013-05-16 13608, 2013

      • hawke_1
        there was one that was numbered like powers of two or something.

        is that a musical release? 0o

      • 2013-05-16 13611, 2013

        I read his response to the track numbering RFC, and was pleased to see actual useful constructive helpful questions that hadn’t been asked before.

      • Lotheric
        What do you mean by that : "Audio recordings of the same performance from different sources will always have different audio." ?
      • 2013-05-16 13648, 2013

      • Lotheric
        source as in CD, vinyl ?
      • 2013-05-16 13651, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        if you record a performance with two devices
      • 2013-05-16 13657, 2013

      • 2013-05-16 13650, 2013

        clean and dirty versions, separate ?
      • 2013-05-16 13659, 2013

      • Lotheric
        censored vs. uncensored
      • 2013-05-16 13616, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        yeah, that's the radio edit bit :)

      • LordSputnik
      • 2013-05-16 13643, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        "and/or by censoring some of the content"
      • 2013-05-16 13651, 2013

      • Lotheric
        but sometimes it's not just beeps (editing), it's new lyrics altogether i.e 2 live crew
      • 2013-05-16 13608, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        that'd make it a different mix
      • 2013-05-16 13614, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        so still separate
      • 2013-05-16 13618, 2013

      • Lotheric
        of the same recording ?
      • 2013-05-16 13624, 2013

      • Lotheric
        ok that's what I thought
      • 2013-05-16 13639, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        generally, use common sense and it'll be right
      • 2013-05-16 13643, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        (mostly)
      • 2013-05-16 13634, 2013

      • hawke_1
        LordSputnik: I’d keep ’em separate, it seems like an edit to me.
      • 2013-05-16 13653, 2013

      • LordSputnik
        yeah probably

        is stereo/mono going to be the same or separate?
      • 2013-05-16 13615, 2013

      • reosarevok
        separate
      • 2013-05-16 13636, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Channels are separate "except when downmixing" or something like that
