1981A/O92 preset

Expansion of dynamics or stereo or something else?

Undo did very little on this song, it’s just the original extended version’s digital master from 1983, so it might have a lot more dynamics than any remasters of it you may be used to hearing. What you’re probably hearing is the openness of the Omnia.9 (it *can* sound way less open of course, or even more open) and that original master. Are you saying it sounds too open?

As far as expansion of stereo, it is doing a decent amount. 10db in some places, in the upper midrange, but mostly only a few db. I wanted to make people used to having stereo enhancers before their "certain analog box" setups (common place) feel right at home.

I could provide the original track lossless to you, if you would like to compare it with anything. 8)

This preset is running on a test station as of tonight, R&B format. I’m told the bass sounds HUGE on air. 8) There’s other test 9s out there. I’ll leave it up to some intuitive minds to figure out where they are.

Thanks for your feedback. 🙂

[quote author=”Modulator”]So, where can we listen these test stations? Streams?[/quote]
It’s up to the stations that get an Omnia.9 if they want to tell anyone they are using it or not. As for the test FMs, that’s even more secret.

[quote author=”Audio”]@ Jesse, would it be possible to listen to a couple of different tracks in one file to check the consistency on a cut to cut basis?[/quote]
Yes.

I’m thinking about sharing a torture test of it soon. When it’s final final. (it’s close) As Leif put it… it has the same shade of rose colored glasses as ["that analog box"].

[quote author=”Modulator”]… And why isn’t that lossless or even in any better quality, my ears bleed because of the artifacts ;([/quote]
The artifacts are from the syndicated show, probably MPEG2 on sat. Leif recorded the MPX for me, and I edited out the talking/commercials/imaging (and more than half of every song) to protect the innocent.

[edit]I have some new MPX airchecks of it, I’ll have to render and edit them down soon. The tuner used is calibrated better on these too.[/edit]

[quote author=”Modulator”]No, I meant are there any streams that could be using O9 😉[/quote]
Possibly, but not that I know of.
