2019 Tour Official Soundboard Recordings

[naif]

I get the files today finally. Much, much better than 2015 files.

According to Audiochecker, the Valencia FLACs look OK 

To verify the accuracy......put the Barcelona files in audio checker and see what it says.

Also......take an mp3 file just to confirm it calls out a file to be lossy that you already know is lossy.

Aside from that......happy that the initial check by audiochecker says that Valencia files are not lossy

Got the same result on the Barcelona FLACs...

What does audiochecker say or show when analyzing an mp3?

Share what?

I got a reply to say: "The Madrid download is not yet ready. Once it is ready and has been sent to us, we will send you an email with the download link"

Does that mean MarkKnopfler.com Store aren't the ones doing the files? they are only providing the link? Who is making the audio files?

[hunter]

Upsampled, huh. Wonder what their rationale is for doing this. Does it mean they record the shows in mp3 format?

[knopfler1]

The Madrid, Cordoba and Lisbon shows seem to be up now. Changed from "Pre order" to "Add to cart".

Maybe not... I purchased Madrid but I get the old "download not available any more" error when I click the download link.

[localhero1986]

Oh dear, glad I only bought the MP3 files. Why pay more for waisting HDD space?

[tngemini]

I received download links yesterday. For Barcelona,  the introduction of PC is complete. Drums/percussions are perfect, brasses  are really in background. There is no gap between songs. Neutron (my music app) mentions : 16 bits, 48 kHz,  1,5 Mbps...but i have no idea if the source is mp3 or not.

Upsampled does not mean lossy...

Are you actually saying that (without communication) they re-issued the Barcelona file, at 48khz instead of 32, with no bugs in cuts and possibly a better mix ??!!

This is breaking news, this needs to be announced properly !
