olo, you only read the parts you want it seems ;P

the catcher solo has no flow, its off beat and the articulation is exaggerated. thats the best bumble could come up with after 400 takes. he just cant play slow properly. producers arent magicians who can fix that.

the may solo, if it was mixed exactly like the album (higher volume etc), it would still sound more in place because he knows what the song needed.

chinese democracy is a totally different song than til, (hardrock song vs slow strings ballad) so what follows it must match it. entire prostitute isnt quieter like you say, open it up in an audio software, it gradually gets louder and after the lyric "why would they tell me" its as loud as shackler. in fact the last part of the song (before the outro) is louder than shackler. cap of original CD wav files, above prostitute, below shackler:

if you think thats all unintentional, you dont know as much as you think about this, no offense

as a producer you must think it is 1 whole project...if not, find another job. the fact you listeners think its 14 lil songs is your right, but has nothing to do with the job of producing an album :B

many people mentioned the album is 'overproduced'. thats not the issue really, because the more production, the better actually (afd is also 'overproduced', so are led zep albums etc).

the main 'error' on CD is is that at the same time, too many parts try to make a statement in the same bar which dont mesh well. meaning, you have a guitar, vocals, drums, bas and synth all doing something individually which sounds good if played seperately....but mix them together in the same time frame and they dont mingle well, scattering the effect.

listen to achilles last stand by led zep (my fav), its the opener on the album presence. there are more things going on there at the same time than any gnr song. very intricate, complicated and diverse stuff. yet....it sounds like a perfect match. nothing could be changed to make it better. its very much overproduced and thats what makes it stay together.

but all the parts fit in with each other, like a puzzle. thats why led zep was the tightest band around. all the band members intuitively knew what to play and make it sound like a perfect match.

on CD, many times parts dont fit in. the stuff the musicians do dont communicate with each others.

they heard this too in the studio. you can then try to mix it diffently...and try a bit more....you change the eq, use some effects to make it mingle...play with the volume levels nonstop... while the best would be to not include it, or change the part slightly b y rerecording another version.

so its not what you do behind the faders...its what the musicians do in front of the mics that made CD sound a bit off in production area for most. im not having a problem though, i listen through that (ignoring some parts of the musicians, yes mainly bumble ) and it is very well done in the end.

again, i dont have an xbox but cobra had ripped that version, with solo no samples but it was very low quality. i will see what i can do wif eet nao. this will take 2 hours more guise :3

20 tracks, remastered/remixed stuff of RB2 no guitar. youve heard a portion of it in the last posts so its not earth shattering news, but still sounded cooler if i posted it that way :3
