Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

Oops I forgot another question I'm sorry, I'm having sweaty nightmares with Lolita demos, I basically have 5 and I have no idea which ones are legit, I have:

 

• Lolita (Demo 1), 3:49, waves on Spek go sliiiightly higher than 128

• Lolita (Demo 1), 3:51, same beat but lower pitch, highest quality on Spek of the 3 demo 1, true 320

• Lolita (Demo 1 Grech), 4:00, longer length so suspect, 128 on Spek, I suspect it's a YouTube rip

• Lolita (Demo 2), 3:50, different beat

• Lolita (Demo 3), 3:37, different beat again, not sure legit

 

I don't know which demo is 1, 2 or 3 either I'm hyperventilating

Don't know about quality but I have them classed as:

 

- Lolita (Demo 1). The one she used for its video. Mine is 3:51 though, and I got it from a .zip back in lanadelrey.fm. Don't know if it came from the admins.

- Lolita (Demo 2). 3:50, the slow, jazzy one.

- Lolita (Demo 3). 3:36, kinda has a trap-ish beat. I also think I got it from the .zip, I'd have to check on my old computer.

- Lolita (Demo 4). 4:00, Dan Grech Mix. Came from Ben Mawson's SoundCloud. It's still up along with TIWMUG2 and BTD2.

 

I have them sorted based on Leak Date. 3:49 is probably the video audio rip.

Is "Head Rush" an official alternate title for "True Love on the Side", or is it fanmade/speculated?

It's a trader title (so fan made) that was most likely used so it could be Scrobbled on Last.fm without giving away which song it was, like how people used Another Lonely Day for Playground or Playboy for C U L8R Alligator. It's just a fake titled pulled from the lyrics.

Oh shit Playboy needs to be the next album title

Sorry I'm late, thank you so much, oh my GOD I'm so confused. So there's really 4? I thought there was 3! 

 

So from what I understood:

• Demo 4 4:00 is real and Dan Grech mix. To keep.

• ???

 

Here are spek caps of my songs to compare, I'm going crazy lol

 

 

 

3:36 one, trappish, slow, vocals clear

 

3:50 one, starts with a guitar dling, slow

 

3:49, starts with guitar only, fast

 

3:51, I think there's some silence at the beginning so it's longer but same song than 3:49, just lower

 

4:00 Grech Demo

 

 

 

My concern is about the 3:49 and 3:51 ones, I don't know which one is sped up or slowed down, because the 3:51 one lower is true 320 but it has silence at the beginning so idk if it's legit. I also don't know if I have the best quality of the others. Sorry I don't know anything about sound

Can someone help me figure out the years for these demos please, or direct me to a thread for it? I've tried using the Lana wiki for it, but it's hard to find years there for demos. Thanks!

The fanmade edit of "The Man I Love" was simply an attempt to recreate this other recording in a listenable form to the best extent possible.

 

 Wait... one of my favorite unreleased songs isn't even legit? What?

Two questions about 'Methamphetamines': 

 

-I've heard that the video for 'Methamphetamines' was originally posted under a different title. Is that true, and if so, what was it? 

-I've also read that the video was posted in 2008. If that's true, why do I often see 'Methamphetamines' listed as being from 2006?

Question about audio...

 

This is my flac rip from my CD

 

This is the spek of my purchased 24 bit audio

 

 

Is there a reason there is all that extra stuff at the top of my CD version? Is it lower quality?

[bvincent 209]

Anyone?

[longtimeman 8,918]

Anyone?

When you get to higher resolution/sample rates beyond what a CD contains, there's a lot of controversy as to whether there is any difference in perceived quality. The best information I've come across is that there might be a tiny difference, but you need an extremely expensive and customised audio set up (along with excellent ears) to be able to pick up on it. Here's a post from somebody who seems to know what they're talking about, but again, it's controversial, and possibly always going to be argued over: http://www.head-fi.org/t/415361/24bit-vs-16bit-the-myth-exploded

Thank you for the link, good read.

Would it be correct in assuming Old Money was written for use in The Great Gatsby?

I've always wondered since it's similar to Young & Beautiful and they were registered at the same time. I always thought it sounded like a song for the credits but they decided not to use it so she put it on UV.

 

I'm only asking because it's basically the same case for 24, right?

[bounce 1,420]

is this a real outtake?

Do you guys know which is the best unreleased masterpost? I recently noticed my library was missing a few songs like riverside and starry eyed...Thanks!
