Very cool. Thank you!

Dope Song Party (or Playlist?) haha

Yes, they leaked for free. Some are harder to find than others but you should be able to find them for free. Don't pay for it. If you have questions write me a PM. Also, Jeff, people can be fans without collecting (illegally leaked) stuff

What do you mean? They have all been leaked, so yes, you can get all of these - you just need to search for it. I guess, Iridescent is missing on that list, which has also been leaked recently.

As an Austrian, I am voting for Graz

As you guys have noticed, it's not really 100+ multis for the ATS songs. It's split up into left/right channels and it includes sub-mixes (and raw vocals). It's more like 40ish unique multitracks. What I noticed though, on most of the ATS multis is that the guitars are split into L/R channels, but only one has audio. So, it has guitar 1 L/R and guitar 2 L/R - but guitar 1 is effectively only on the left and guitar 2 is effectively only on the right. Is this typical, Astat?

Sorry to hear that, man 😕 Hope you can get back on your feet soon! Live is a constant up and down...wish you the best of luck to get out of this down-phase! Do you have a list of your stuff? Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to get a work permit in the U.S. as a foreigner?

Good question, I think it's only mp3. This is the original thread but the link is not working anymore... https://www.lpassociation.com/forum/threads/lpa-monthly-mix-up-april-2014-guilty-all-the-same-deadline-may-5.40208/ Does anybody remember if those were WAVs? Looks neat No, there is no central place for these as this is not exactly legal to share xD Reddit used to be the place to go to but recently things have become more strict and they delete links to multitracks pretty quickly. You can still find a lot of them via Google though. Btw, Walter was so nice and shared his multitrack collection, which apart from the fully separated Invisible multitracks (35 files, mp3), didn't have anything that hadn't been leaked before.

Thanks for compiling! I was actually working on a similar post...but I guess you were faster haha

Is there proof of the existence of Castle of glass and Until it's gone multitracks?

What happened to this?

How about references to LP trivia, like demo names or well received live shows, specific live recordings, etc?

Awesome! Thanks so much!

@martinez Do you know where I can buy the THP and Living Things Acapellas & Instrumentals in lossless? Only found the mp3 versions.

Yep, true lossless.

Lossless MTM instrumentals leaked.

Interesting! I wasn't aware of that. I thought that they are lossless but potentially from a different source. But I guess, in that case, it could just be a false negative from the software.

Recently, I have been digging more into how to discern if a lossless file is truly lossless and not an upsampling/upscaling of a lossy source. It turns out that looking at the cutoff in the frequency spectrum is not sufficient to truly judge the native bitrate. However, there's a software that goes through more sophisticated tests/algorithms to check for upsampling/upscaling: http://losslessaudiochecker.com/ Using this software I checked the most recently leaked lossless instrumental albums. Here's the result ['clean' meaning no upsampling/upscaling detected]: Hybrid Theory - all clean Reanimation - all clean A Thousand Suns - 'Wisdom, Justice, and Love', 'Fallout', and 'The Messenger' upsampled, others clean One More Light - 'One More Light' upsampled, others clean Post Traumatic - 'Place To Start' and 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore' upsampled, others clean I am not entirely sure if we can trust the evaluation a 100% but it should be better than just looking at the frequency spectrum. My guess is that the songs that were detected to be upsampled were taken from another lossless source (Post Traumtic EP, ATS album, OML multis) and slightly modified to match the other files in terms of bitrate.

I see, thanks for clarifying! Interesting. Actually, it seems like the files (except for the song One More Light) are not upconverts as I will detail in the other thread. This is actually the multitrack thread, not the instrumental thread

What do you mean by much better? I think the average human ear cannot even discern 320 kbps mp3 and wav in most cases. And you are saying you can hear a difference between two lossless versions that have slightly different bitrate? Or is your version mixed/mastered differently altogether?

Awesome! Thank you!!

Oh, I see. Too bad nobody seems to have the real OSC instrumental then. I guess at some point it might surface though.

Oh, right...didn't think of those. Thanks for clarifying! Too bad though

Someone just released (some of the?) With You and Points of Authority Stems. So, they do exist after all? It's a little hard to find, but it's a comment in the post "Instrumentals for everybody" on reddit.

Mmmm...strange. I remember reading that you had a version of the instrumentals much earlier than most other people, back in the day, and I thought that had the real OSC instrumental? Also, were these lossless?
