    I've always been confused by this, then what is the shortened version of Rock and Roll part 2 from Atlantic Records Fall 2004 sampler? 

    Sorry, I can't answer that because I don't have it. Someone would have to purchase the CD and provide a download.

    Sorry, checked again and it's Instagram, not YouTube.

    Ok so It’s confirmed? 

    Yeah. Tyler Bates handles the Dark Nights Death Metal soundtrack. Virtually every song has input from him. On the announcement they said they worked with him on the song + they called it "Retro Version" like you said. Today Sean replied to someone saying the album version will be different.

     

    The album is being done with Esjay as we all know.

    Where do you see that media info? On a player of some sort?

     

    Atmos is supposed to be encoded with spatial data. It's easier to explain with a movie. Traditionally, you would say "that explosion needs to come from the right, so put most of it in the right channel, some reverb in the back right, maybe a little bit in the center, etc."

     

    But with atmos, you just tag the sound as being to "the right" and the player will use atmos technology to decide what speaker it comes out of. So if you have no right speaker, it will just play it out of the other stuff in the best way it can. If you have 100 speakers in a circle, it will play a little bit out of a bunch of speakers in whatever way makes sense to make it sound like the sound is coming from where you said it should. That's why it works in headphones, too. Because it's using trickery in the sound to make it sound like things are coming from other directions, even though there are just two channels in your ear buds. 

     

    So atmos doesn't deal with channels as much as it deals with direction. Sound will come out of 3.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 11.2. 22.2 etc. because the hardware will push the sound out in whatever way makes sense. Whereas if you play reanimation's 5.1 mix on a 11.1 system, nothing will happen with most of the speakers because rather than having direction encoded, it just has channels encoded that go to the speakers. 

    Thank you for the explanation. That was my first thought too when I read "3D Audio" both on Amazon's and Apple's press releases. But from the files I have it does seem like they have a fixed amount of channels and I did see reports of some elements missing from the songs when people played the album in stereo sound systems.

    Is there some way to split the layers like with reanimation?🤔

    Yes. If you open on Audacity for instance you can see all 6 of them.

    Well it's certainly a new mix but it's not accurate to call it 5.1 or 6 channels. Dolby Atmos is channel-agnostic and instead encodes with position data, and then just "places" the sound where it should be to the best of its ability with whatever hardware is available. 

    Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is channel-agnostic?

     

    I mean, the media info does say 5.1 and it does show 6 channels.

    I noticed that after submitting this question, but I still can't find anything about the mix. Did they actually work on a new mix? Is this just a cheap cash grab by the label? If this is actually a new mix that Mike oversaw, it seems like a pretty big deal. If it's the latter (as I suspect, but haven't heard it to get an opinion), then it kinda sucks.

    It's a 5.1 surround version of the album, so I guess they needed to make a new mix in order to split the songs into 6 channels instead of the regular 2 from the stereo version. I think it's something the label ordered for the 20th anniversary celebration. Not sure if Mike was involved. I think he never talked about it.

    I thought the video was really disappointing, not like it could be much more in 11 minutes but they really built up the VMAs to be the biggest thing of all time

    I thought it was a little weird how Minutes To Midnight was depicted as a failure because they lost a VMA to Fall Out Boy. lol

    MTV Music UK just announced Linkin Park will be the theme of tonight's episode of My Life On MTV. The documentary, composed of exclusive footage filmed by MTV over the years, promises to show "the band's highs and unthinkable lows." The series' IMDb page reads: "Each 30-minute episode will tell the stories of two artists who are linked by a common theme - We'll see their first ever appearance on MTV, and all the defining moments through present day."

     

    Today's episode is about Linkin Park and Green Day. It airs tonight at 7pm BST. Watch the teaser here.

    Link is working. It's the last picture here:

    On top to the "R" from "Xero" you can see a show photo. This is something I noticed on the original Xero tape too back in January when Jeff Blue showed it and has been bugging me ever since. In the book Jeff says he received the first tape months before the Whisky show and the tape with the baby cover was also given to him some time before that show. If that's true, how come they have a live photo on both tapes? Is his timeline wrong? You can see there's an audience watching. Was the Whisky show not their actual live debut? Or is it a completely different band on the photo?

    Can somebody tell me the story of hardly breathe? 
     

    No way the band just made that for that rock and roll song.

    Hardly Breathe is a fan remix:

    Alanis Morissette Releases Chester Bennington Tribute Song 'Rest'

    in Newswire

    Posted

    Alanis Morissette has released a studio version of her song 'Rest,' co-written by Morissette and Michael Farrell and produced by Alex Hope. The song was debuted live at the tribute show for Chester Bennington at the Hollywood Bowl in 2017. She introduced it saying:

     

    “There’s been a lot of vilification of people with depression and addiction, and being troubled, and being in the public eye. Being made fun of for the challenges that we, as a huge community of people with notoriety, have gone through. It’s an extremely isolating and challenging journey to go through. So, for me, I just want to offer empathy to all people in the public eye, and to all of you here tonight and everyone on the planet who is grieving.”

     

    'Rest' was performed live several times after that but a studio version hadn't been released until today. She wrote on Twitter:

     

    "today is #MentalHealthAction Day… i'm sharing a song entitled “Rest” written specifically about those of us who struggle with depression and anxiety, isolation, suicidal ideation and the profound despair that mental illness can plunge us into. go to http://MentalHealthIsHealth.us to learn how you can help support yourself and others today & every day."

    Grey Daze's "Anything Anything" featured in Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack

    in Newswire

    Posted

    The album will be (in no particupar order):

     

    1. Spin

    2. Wake Me

    3. Starting To Fly

    4. Holding You

    5. Hole

    6. Believe Me

    7. Here, Nearby

    8. Drag

    9. Anything, Anything

    10. Saturation

     

    The reason the project started as a remaster of No Sun Today was because the band didn't have the original tapes for Wake Me and the producer of the original albums asked a lot of money for them and they weren't willing (or couldn't afford) to pay. It's the same reason we never got the Real Records album and No Sun Today pre-production tapes which includes Ryan's Wisdom, Super Star and Old School. If I recall correctly, the band doesn't have those either. They were very lucky Jason still had the Wake Me tapes and agreed to let the band use them. What they might have is Come On and Commit.

     

    Unless the band manages to track down the SDAHF master tape (we believe the original rip of Kill The Flies that's floating around came from it, the sound quality is much better than the cassette rip), I don't see them using those songs either. It's also unrealistic to expect them to use songs like The Endless Highway, Everybody's Falling To Pieces, etc. because those were only ever played live. Grey Daze was a small independent band and didn't have money to record that many songs in a proper studio.

     

    Only 24 tracks were registered when the band was working on Amends. 11 from Amends + 10 from the second album makes 21. I believe the number includes the 3 acoustic bonus tracks for Amends, so that would make it 24.
