CVH Master Tracks

[vaijuju]

There's no way to isolate Ed's guitar 100% without the pre-master source tapes. You may get the dominate left or right channel from the final master but it will include portions of drums, vocals or bass that get panned to both channels in the final mix. No way to get a perfectly clean guitar only once it's mastered for duplication.

A friend from vhfrance (patpanique) asked the guy how he did that.He said "with Guitar hero and rockband"

When I get my recording equipment shipped here we should use these and start a, "Shred with Ed", thread.

[Doctor Dude]

Awesome stuff!

Its hard to enjoy these tracks for what they are because my brain seems to want to add the missing instruments and vocals from memory.

You talkin' about your ADAT rig? I just found a $145 PCI soundcard ADAT/Pro Tools interface that may allow me to pull all my archive stuff off the old ADATs (as 8 individual tracks rather than dumping)...pretty cool...

Requires two slots, but fortunately I have the processing power, and room available on my MB and my tower...

Great idea, though. Tons of fun could be had, not just in the "Shred with Ed" sense, since there's so many master tracks popping up of late...

If you listen to the Jump and Jamies Crying tracks, you can hear very faint guitars.

That brings up a great point and a trip down memory lane.

Ever listen to the albums or cassettes and one of the speakers were blown? The guitar would drown everything else out depending on which speaker was blown.

Oh yeah... also sat for hours cranking the Balance knob trying to figure out how and what was panned to each channel to figure out how something was mastered. Especially fun with active mixes like older Pink Floyd and Hendrix's Electric Ladyland with a lot of stuff moving around left to right channels.

Back in 78 had a friend who dumped a ton of money into an audiophile top end quadraphonic system... fond memories of getting high and pulling speaker wires to figure out how they tracked Edgar Winter's Frankenstein that induced headspins...

For sure you'll be able to dump 8 tracks individually. See the optical I/O on the top sound card to the right in your pic. Your ADAT should have that optical interface, too. On my Lexicon sound card I had that and it worked great......here's the info from the ADAT manual.

DIGITAL AUDIO IN/OUT
The Digital input and output carries all eight tracks on a single fiber optical cable. This allows you to bounce audio between multiple machines within the digital domain. This also lets you route digital audio between multiple XTs and ADATs, and to ADAT Compatible™ products such as the QuadraVerb 2. Since the fiber optic connector carries the digital information for all 8 tracks, it is also useful for backing up all tracks in one pass (see Chapter 6 for more on digital audio).

I hear ya Zah, my favorite was to put on headphones, while baked of course, and listen to all those great panning techniques. Electric Ladyland....wow, what an album. Zep had a few songs like that, too.

Hey, picked this up from another site... Here's a bunch of isolated GH:VH tracks:

Edward sounds drunk on the isolated Hang 'Em High track...

But, check out this new bass line...

What new bass lines?

Sounds like the studio cuts... with whatever crap the game is adding to it.

Did some searching but can't find any details... wondering if the copyright/licensing notice that references Three Twins LLC is Michael's new corporation for handling publishing rights/royalties of his VH material..?

Of course it's the studio cuts !

Elvis can't tell the difference between Eddie's playing and a teenager playing through a Rockman.

The clicks from the game are probably new drum tracks too.
