Re: "I'm a Big Sister..." thread.
wow. downloaded this morning and had my first listen. its got superb mixing, great new sounds with a few beats, but overall not my cup of tea. this doesnt have any of the repeat-listen value that other UW music has for me. i did enjoy my entire first listen, but i just dont see myself popping this back in as oftern as RR1 or DNBWMHM etc. Way too chill for my personal liking.

But it's great that this recording apparently was not compressed and/or limited.
That shows that its not clipped. Post a spectrum wave and you'll get a better picture of the quality compared to the other releases.

What will you see besides the lowpass? (which is the same btw: IABS~16000hz, LBT~16000hz)

I think clipping/limiting is much worse than a 16000 lowpass. Look what they did to old classics (on 1992-2002):
Pearls Girl (STITI top, 1992-2002 bottom, both normalized to show the difference)
Dirty Epic (dubno top, 1992-2002 bottom)
You'll definately lose 'punch' here.

Thank god that they did not do that to their new release.

Okay Okay Okay!!!

I'm EXTREMELY sorry. It's my fault. I messed up.

You're right - the audio was encoded at 160k rather than our standard 192k.

I've corrected this - and the new zip is up for you all to download at your leisure. Lucky we let you download more than once really!

Very sorry to you all and thank you for being so on the case.......
