  1. The venues are definitely off, there's also a list in a different thread somewhere.

     

    Technically Los Angeles is the most played city since West Hollywood, North Hollywood etc. are parts of LA.

     

    Actually I started working on a statistics page a while ago, it's about halfway finished, with most played countries, US states, cities, venues excluding canceled shows and also no Third Encore. The page is locked but here's a screenshot.

     

    Suggestions are appreciated, I want to do as much as possible with database queries, which is not possible for the venues though so that has to be updated manually.

     

    Another tiny thing that I noticed you counted 988 shows, while the database says 989 did you include the Relative Degree show?

     

    It didn't occur to me at all that we can actually figure out the 1000th show as Linkin Park, I thought we'd never know for sure since there are so many gaps in the beginning.


    897 played shows but that still includes HT/Xero shows and a few Third Encore performances that were not public.

  2. Does anyone recognize this metadata from a certain software like pro tools? It could be easily the date this session was created and he started working on the song idea, and the engineer add his name later.

    The actual file dates are completely different, from March 26, 2015, which seems a lot more realistic. I guess they forgot to change the dates and wipe the meta data.

  3. meta info inside the instrumental/acapella waves:

    Director                                 : White Window
    Encoded by                               : David Bottrill
    Recorded date                            : 4/29/2013 2:42:00 PM
    

    what the hell does that mean?

     

    David Bottrill is apparently an engineer.

     

    White Window seems so unrelated, maybe it's a code name for FM.

  4. Every vinyl jacket is a piece of the art that's displayed next to the vinyl. There are a 1000 total. So $95 gets you a boring piece mostly white or whatever and the deluxe for $145 a better piece, just look at the examples. Each is one of a kind but still pretty expensive if you ask me.

  5. If the new one is different then the DJ gave the original file to Warner.

     

    It's different but only slightly. The original is louder than the CD rip. The track quality is about the same but that is also hard to tell if you don't what the original would look like. If the remix was created with mp3's and or/only saved as mp3, there's no lossless version anyway. The spectral looks slightly better for the CD rip but that's something that could be also altered through the "mastering process" / creation of this disc, like the volume for example.

  6. I'm on the fence about the BIO/WID/SOTD ones, it seems almost TOO coincidental that they're the same songs that were used in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, but the levels sound "right" compared to what you normally get when combining stems from those games, like Jonas said. Then again, maybe someone just spent a lot of time fixing volume levels and such to make them sound right. I'd basically consider that an official instrumental regardless, it's really just lacking the final mastering that would be done after all the tracks are combined.

    That's right, but BIO has to be 100% legit because the "Additional instruments" track has the background vocals, and if you leave that out you are missing very important stuff like the piano. You can't create a perfect instrumental from the circulating multitracks. Also the rattle or whatever that is in the first seconds is not even in the multitracks.

    That doesn't prove anything but the other 2 but What I've Done has this extra ticking in the beginning in the multitracks, of course this could be all removed. But in the end I don't see how someone would go through the trouble to make them this perfect just to pass them off as real. They just seem to be too perfect to me, they sound exactly what they are supposed to sound like, when someone added One Step Closer to HT instrumentals it was obvious instantly.

    It's not just the levels, if you look at the waveform, they look like album tracks, the volume is the same too.

    The only thing that seems odd to me is that they lossy but that's hard to tell if there's not much info about the real source.

    It's not that big of a coincidence that those are the same tracks that were available in the games since those were singles and could be easily from one of those CD's that contained Given Up. If there was a whole instrumental album available to someone we'd probably have more. There's no faked No More Sorrow instrumental either.
