"Baking" them is a process which is sorta what it sounds like, in order to stabilize the tapes so that one can get just one more playback of the tape to create a backup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky-shed_syndrome |

Baking the tapes is better than frying them.
Healthier. But in RBQ’s case, I think he actually ended up frying them |

I was in the process of revising my Machina reconstruction, so I re-read this entire thread from page 1 to 166.
Holy fuck what a shit show. Fuck this. |

(Tone: sincere) What did you learn from that massive undertaking, other than you should never have done that? Or like what impressions did you come away with (besides what you've already stated)? Was anything actually helpful for your revision?

Secondly, I completely forgot all of the little instavids Corgan posted while remixing this thing. Made me appreciate this era more (I've always loved it), but it also gave me pause, to, again, see what this dude has put together for us. But also, confirmed what I already knew in my heart-- Machina is a vast mess of an unfinished album that probably can never truly be finished or even "reconstructed" (to my "standards", which is a whole 'nother thing, I suppose). Thirdly, I still love that he took two swipes at me, fucking hilarious. As for my revised reconstruction itself, it didn't change anything, other than second-guessing the versions of the songs I was going to use (which led me to think to wait for this box set, if there'll be different and better versions). Last week I came up with a new track sequence, sort of starting from scratch, ignoring everything I did previously (which in theory, would discard my preconceived notions of the meaning of songs I've had for like 20 years). The result was a revised track order that had some similarities and some differences to my last one, but also fixed a few of the issues I had with it. But it's almost like a lost cause, I guess. I'll just wait until the box; maybe then do a reconstruction that is a different angle, like a "What if the album was finished with D'Arcy", making it like an Arising version? who fucking knows. |

sequencing M1 and MII into a story is almost like trying to sequence MCIS into a story. Billy's story telling is whack. he fancies himself a tarantino/mNightShamalan

no one would be surprised if some day it's revealed that ATUM is actually a prequel.

it is a fool's errand to care about the story of a record. a record contains good riffs and groovy beats, not plots or characters

A record has whatever its creator decides it needs to have, and that also extends to a narrative. Don't be stupid. Christ I hate this place more and more every month |

It's rough. Since I was trying to replicate the Arising version with that drum pattern going all the way through Part 2, I had to sample that stray drum beat and time stretch it to match the tempo of Part 2.

I did! There's still this dumb high-end distortion from the source record though, so it's almost impossible to make it brighter without bringing that out, and it's especially audible near the end of the song.

At least The Wall doesn't need 33 hour long podcasts to explain its concept. The song themselves tell the story... unlike a certain "concept" album. I'm starting to think Billy doesn't know how to make a concept album.

Hmm, you ever work with Izotope RX10? I wonder if it can help.
