More punch and dynamic range, less volume...and Taylor's a little louder in the mix.

I can't get over Star, Star...never been a huge fan of that song but it's really amazing on Brussels...now FF 5 years to the Texas concert and, well, it doesn't sound like the same band does it Sad

Totally agree. Always been so so for me but this version is a killer.

having read alot on this and lsitened to alot of versions... it seems they brought Keith up, b/c he had been mixed to low and lowered MT a bit... which for me is fine for most of the songs, b/c there's times he is brilliant and othet times he is just noodling and it gets annoying... if I have to take the good with the bad, it's an even push, i like this mix, it will probably be my go to version from now on...

Can someone advise/confirm this is normal...?
or did this happen while converting the FLACS?
i definitely burned WITHOUT pauses...

EDIT

while fuck me, Nero keeps adding 2 seconds between each song even when i put "0". anyone know a solution...?

EDIT EDIT

Christ, i fucked up 7 CD's, but i finally figured it out. Sssssshiiiiit

That's funny, I burned the files to a cd using my old Nero 9 program (Nero Express mode) I just clicked the box asking about the pause between tracks. Worked fine, no gaps.

On another note, not that I'm complaining mind you, why are the Stones offering the those of us in the US MP3 quality files and Abkco is offering 24bit/176khz DVD-A audio resolution on all the Stones classics??

Someone is missing the boat here imho. Are there really that many fans of the Stones, who have waited years for an archival release of this sort, now willing to listen after a decades long wait to this classic on an iphone or an ipod. The average fan struggling to figure out how to put it on a format they're comfortable with.

Like everyone else, I'll take what I can get. Just makes very little sense.

Can't help but think of the quality that Neil Young wanted for his archival material. My guess is Mick's continued efforts to entertain younger/newer fans.

Seems a bug in nero. above worked for me as well, but if you go via NERO START SMART it does not take the settings

do the files stay tagged? I have used Xact to convert Flac to wav, but no tagging stayed, I've been using Max, but it has started tweaking on me since I upgraded my OS and updated it as well...

I was just writing back and forth with the guy who wrote Xact because of an issue with the designation FLAC and batch conversions.
