ok...don't know if i should reopen this one with all the
contested opinions!!!.....but.....getting back to the
original topic.....if you fade the song for 0:10 from 3:13
to 3:23 you'll effectively re-create the true 45
version....]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:16:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=33655&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#33655 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=13745&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#13745 Author: jimct

It's all in the past now, Bell. Good people can simply miscommunicate sometimes, and sure that's all that happened here. I know all of us on the
Board have totally forgotten about the whole thing already, and we sincerely look forward to your future contributions. It really is a special group that we have here. Bell, I'd like to wish you, Pat and all of our many "Brothers On The Board" a VERY Merry Christmas!

Welcome, Bell!

Thanks Jim.   As I mentioned in my second PM, I also feel you provide a great service to all of us with your 45 analysis.   I would never believe it is a waste of time. Someone could easily frown on me for spending hours on that BT Express 45 edit. It's a labor of love, which I'm sure you can relate to. And I can think of a whole lot worse things we could do with our free time!   :)]]> Sun, 23 Dec 2007 21:53:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=13742&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#13742 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=13726&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#13726 Author: 995wlol

Jim,

I think we have stated our case and although we may not always agree, I think with Christmas upon us there is no better time to forgive and forget. Wouldn't you agree with me there?   So in that spirit, I would like to wish you and everyone a happy holiday.

Jim:

No need to defend yourself. I remember when I first joined this board, you stepped to the plate, saved me (and have many others too) alot of $$ early on in acquiring proper 45 versions, and often, out of print versions. It goes without saying that time difference postings are valuable info.

I can attest to improper speed on turntables. The very first turntable I purchased last year was nothing more than a home turntable. It's speed out of the box was probably 47-48rpm. I soon grew tired adjusting pitch in software.

I then purchased an Audio-Technica AT-PL120. This is a lower cost, but almost identical twin, to the workhorse Technics 1200. It's got those pretty little dots on the platter to calibrate speed just like the 1200. One of the reasons I purchased it, was if you press the 33 and 45 speed buttons simultaneously, it goes 78rpm! My goal someday, with the proper stylus, is to perhaps record and cleanup my Mom's 78rpm records that sit in a cabinet untouched for many years. I'm sure she'd love to hear these again! There's also a couple features that may not be present on the 1200.

Todd:

I said early on, that if the board was divided into more specific forums, it would be easier to find specific posts. I really applaud your proposed folder lineup. It certainly would make it easier!

General Top 40 on CD Info
Run Time Discrepencies
How to Create a Specific Version from CD
Is This Song Available on CD?
Database Errors
Non-Top 40 Hits

Let me add another -

Off Topic Posts (like this one has become!! LOL)

I will happy to send anyone interested EVERY word of the Bell-Jim-Bell-Jim PM's, since Bell claims I took his words out of context. (I can't imagine why you would care to bother, though.) His initial :03 second opinion was not initially offered up to ALL on the Board, but only later, after Bell didn't receive his "desired response" from me. Instead it came in a PM, specifically and only to me. Intended or not, I took serious offense at its contents, which expressed Bell's clear personal displeasure with a major portion of my Board-posting activities, and his desire to have me change what I posted to better suit his personal interests. I was both COMPLETELY appalled and deeply offended personally, whether intended by Bell or not. In my 30 years in pro radio, nothing had ever even come close to the level of shock and utter disbelief I'd experienced after reading Bell's initial PM. Just the "balls" it took, for a "newbie" to send out in the first place, with NO standing at all on this Board, still has me dumbfounded. I strongly felt, as a "newbie", that Bell hadn't "earned the right yet" to even OFFER an opinion about Board policies/parameters. This ENTIRE issue, as well as many others, have all been completely ignored by Bell to date. I felt personally attacked in the PM, and I responded to Bell in sort of a combination of both "self-defense" and shock. I made NO secret of my ire to Bell's original post in my Board reply, and I stand by EVERY word of it! Bell, did you actually READ anything that either I or the other posters said, specifically about your issue? Isn't it possible that your :03 issue was rejected simply on its merits? No, instead you claim I "hijacked" the post, and then you got "railroaded". That isn't giving some VERY sharp people on this Board a heck of a lot of credit here, is it? So, let me get this straight: you PM someone; you criticize them, and now YOU'RE the "misunderstood, innocent victim" here, whose brilliant idea was unfairly rejected through "corruption". Gotcha! Bell, if I ever offend someone inadvertantly, I immediately offer up a sincere apology. When I asked for one from you, it sounded like you thought I had three heads, and categorically refused! Hey, I was 100% willing to forgive, forget and move on here. Apparently, you are not sorry. You remain 100% fixated on one small issue. Bell, we've already reviewed these timing issues, exhaustively, several times on the Board already. But what, now that "Bell" has arrived, we need to start all over again? How do you figure? I paid you several compliments in my last PM, Bell, trying to reach out to you. Where are all of THOSE quotes in your last post? Man, me having to type this in, and then all of you having to waste your valuable time reading this, is just SUCH nonsense! I can only stand on my reputation, and relationships, with my many friends on this Board, and I thank them for their support. Bell, it's Christmas. I TRULY want you on this Board. I believe you have a lot to offer. Can't you just "play by the existing rules", stick to the music initially, and contribute a few things first, before firing off PM's to people, and trying to "Amend Our Constitution?" Apparently not....I would be MORE than happy for our Moderator, Pat Downey, to intervene here, Bell, send you and I separate PM's, advising us of his feelings, because I have music research & present wrapping I'd really rather be doing right now! Or is that "having my honor defended", too!

My goodness, reading Jim's assessment of my PM to him certainly makes me look like the evil monster newbie!    Unfortunately, it is far from the truth and I explained that to him after he sent me a very hostile response that included passages like "your complete and utter ignorance", "mindless opinion", and "arrogant, overconfident human being".    But that didn't stop his character assassination in this thread.   So what was the intention of my original "private" message to him that was never intended to result in a public display of mudslinging?   As I explained to Jim in my PM, it was my personal experience with analyzing 45s for variations and how three-second differences have not been substantial enough to the collecting circles I have been involved with. It is within what I call the "margin for error" when it comes to 45 analysis due to turntable speeds and listening for the oh-so-faint sounds in fade-outs.   My original PM offered recommendations like placing a more descriptive heading in the thread for time variance postings, which is exactly what others have mentioned also in this thread. But when I offered it, Jim attacked me viciously.   When I engaged others for opinions in this thread and people began sharing the same feelings I had, suddenly Jim hijacked the conversation by presenting me in such a light that it would make all of the veterans of this board want to rise up and defend his honor.   Bravo Jim. It worked.   You have now placed me in such a negative light that it would make it impossible for me to ever be welcomed here and you have received all of the praises to decorate the ego you felt was somehow damaged by my PM.   But for what it was worth, I wanted to at least have an opportunity to explain my version of the unsettling exchange.   Happy listening to all.   ]]> Fri, 21 Dec 2007 22:54:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=13715&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#13715 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=13702&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#13702 Author: aaronk

EdisonLite, I really like your suggestion of being more descriptive of what the initial post is about. I think the character limitation is why most of us don't do it.]]> Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:23:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2964&PID=13702&title=melissa-manchesterjust-too-many#13702
