hahninator Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 There will be no DSPs in 2014! From what we can tell, the Digital Souvenir Package program and Linkin Park's selling of their audio recordings of shows has come to an end and will not continue for The Hunting Party World Tour. The last shows sold as DSPs were from South Africa in 2012. If you are seeing the European Tour for Linkin Park and can record the show, please do! Audio or video. We know of a few Euro shows being covered and we'll post downloads on the site both during and after the tour. Let us know if you record something and want to share it - we'll post it for download. It's up to the fans from this point forward. If you want to watch or hear the show you attend again...record it! A camcorder and/or audio rig can go a long way.

RogueSoul Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This really sucks, the heavy stuff would of sounded amazing on a DSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLinkinpark0562x Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This really sucks, I guess this is the end of a Free DSP era and I'm not even sure if Pooch or Dylan are recording anymore, but luckly, I am recording the Toronto Show that I'm going to in 3 months, so that's one way Hope my Digicam doesn't die on me xDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Dylan is with BSB and is not with LP right now. Yes LP still records every show. Management refuses to sell the shows anymore is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Pooch still records the shows and keep then, then that's a good sign of hope, but I still wonder why the Management won't let LP sell the shows anymore? is it because of the bootleggings in General or something?

lgr Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 sad to see the DSPs go, but it'll be great to get some recs we can freely share.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 This is going to be the first proper US tour that hasn't had DSP's since 2004! Kind of insane when you think about it. It's going to suck, but we might get some good recordings this year. Download especially, I really want to hear that full show.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Management won't sell them anymore because they were selling badly in 2012. That's entirely their fault for not promoting them AT ALL though. Seems like a weak cop out. All they have to do is post it on social media. People will buy them. Or put them on the screens at the shows during the LP set / encore break. It's not hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlassCastles Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If it weren't for LPLive, I probably would never have known about DSPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Sucks that just as we have a big ole CD icon to mark every show with a DSP....the DSPs come to an end. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPMaskMan Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 At least people have reason again to tape shows from audience. But maybe they won't trade it because NFT bullshit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorist Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Hope some fans could use 2014's technical equipment to record those concerts(Many old shows' bootlegs suck) Smart phone could record very good quality(lossless 16bit or higher) audio by using good app(like recforge pro hificorder and so on.....) now Edited May 24, 2014 by Vorist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Is it really possible to record in good quality from a smart phone? Cuz I could definitely do that from my iPhone 4S, but it's an outdated iPhone model (obviously) and it probably would come out bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some cellphones that are great to record concerts for example: Galaxy Zoom, Xperia Z2, the Nokia that has a 42mpx camera, those record great video and awesome audio.

Geki Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I've recorded stuff in the past on my phone and it sounded decent. iOs7 came with the Voice Memos feature and that actually sounds decent when I record stuff. Maybe I will record 2 songs or something, depending on where I am at the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will record 2 songs or something, depending on where I am at the show. no harm in giving it a go. and yes, it really depends on where you're standing - I caught a few things on video from a club show a few months back, I wasn't "taping", just capturing a few special bits, anyway, mid-show I moved out of the pit and stood near the back, and the difference in sound quality between the videos was really noticeable, it's all about the projection of the PA, the drums, etc. and where the best sound is sitting in the room, which varies venue by venue, and arenas are a totally different ball game.

[AndOne] Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 At least the recordings will be allowed on Dime again. That prevented me from uploading almost everything I recorded. The DSPs pretty much killed the (small) taping community, no one really wanted sucky audience recording from a show when there's a DSP. The lack of European shows recently and the rising usage of mobile phones for recording played their parts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't understand why Dime banned the St. Paulo 2012 Proshot and a few other recordings, just because there's a DSP of it, like buy the DSP, and then compare it to the Proshot audio and the AUD audio from Camera, MUCH difference there not a reason to ban those shows which have DSPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if 1 song was released officially from a show, you have to remove that song from the torrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AndOne] Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Their rules are debatable but they have theirs for a reason, Dime is a huge site which exists for a long time now and this is their way to avoid legal conflicts. If you say you don't understand why it was banned just shows that you actually never read the rules. Other sites allow alternative sources and so do we.
