losingit2k Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 One thing that I've noticed lately about "Headlong Flight" is that it seemed to have been recorded or at least released at lower level than other songs including the prior two from CA (Caravan & BU2B). I made a compilation CD of heavier stuff and I always have to turn up "Headlong Flight" when it comes on. If the other songs were recorded at 12bd its seems "Headlong Flight" is at 9 or 10db. Anyone notice this? Regardless, it still kicks Ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Good. Maybe it won't be clipping. Has anybody checked the i-tunes download for clipping yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog_Bro Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I would be bummed if it was recorded loud, so this is actually good news (even better if reports come in that there is no clipping!) It sounded fine from what I heard but I only gave the iTunes download a quick listen and haven't had a chance to come back to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The first two singles were borderline clipping if memory serves me right. Here's hoping the re-recorded versions are mastered at a little lower loudness level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Ted Jensen is not credited with mastering Clockwork Angels, only the previously released Caravan and BU2B single versions. Brad Gardner at Bernie Grundmans did the mastering for the album release of CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 But what about the HF single? Does the wavform look that smashed also? Sure doesn't sound like it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Caravan and BU2B seemed to have a lot more layering of instruments/keyboards than Headlong Flight, that's probably why it would look cleaner and sounds less cluttered. Everything has more room to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
