Every time I rewatch SAO, I just say “has another anime done weirder pointless things like this, most likely”, and then I carry on lol.
Anywho just finished Kokoro Connect and Im almost done Gokukoku no Brynhildr. Thinking of watching Your Name later on or Patema Inverted, I really liked those movies.

So i just created a thread referencing only anime music. I’m proud of it ^^

Analyzing your music Music

So I posted a cringe on how a song was badly mastered, and well it got me thinking about making an intorductory post about music mastering, for your general knowledge. Before I start, just to let you know, I’m using a software named MusicScope, which is really fun to play with. It’s a paid software, but you can use in trial version to test the first 30 seconds of a file if you want to play a little bit around and see how is your music. The culprit So that’s the song that started it: Ref: rain, the ED of After the rain. I rarr it in order to obtain it (thanks mora.jp for now refusing foreign credit card) and when I listened to it, noticed a clear loss in clarity when the music ramped up. Well it appears that the masterer decide that, instead of lowering the overall volume, decided to literally clip the sections where the music ramped up, indicated by the 3 arrows. See how flat it becomes. Clipping refers to a loss of information when the audio level go above a threshold (the two red circles in the circle graph), and are therefore not recorded, hence the clip, a loss of information. [aimer] Pop mastering sh0ut, 2nd OP of Re: Creators Unfortunately, clipping is somewhat recurrent because of nowaday practices. With how pop and music in general are recorded, masterer try to get the highest overall volume level. This a two consequences. First, masterer often compresses the music, reducing the dynamic range (the S-Mode number) so there is less variation between the lowest and the highest sound, flattening the music. Second, the music while be on the edge of the threshold in order to get a higher volume. From time to time, it will cliped, resulting in a loss of information. As you can see in the picture below, music nowadays are master in such a way that the green line, the volume level, stays almost always near the threshold, and sometime clipping.

Oh, just realized To Your Eternity is from the same creator as Koe no Katachi

Zealon · May 26, 2018, 4:55am

There were too many feels throughout for me. Need to catch up though, haven’t read it in a while and I didn’t even know it got an english release although it makes sense with the same author that Kodansha would pick it up too. I’ll have to add them to my wishlist on rightstuf to buy during the christmas sale in a bulk order.

anon11544174 · May 26, 2018, 6:13am

Koe no Katachi is best anime, I think maybe IDK. It was the one that actually got me fully into anime and that’s why I love it

Theonewhoisdrunk · May 26, 2018, 9:56am

Just watched Aggrestuko wish there was some more but the show was pretty fun.

Kat · May 26, 2018, 4:40pm

anon11544174 · May 26, 2018, 4:43pm

Kat · May 26, 2018, 4:46pm

anon11544174 · May 26, 2018, 4:55pm

Kat · May 26, 2018, 4:59pm

trexd · May 26, 2018, 6:12pm

Well isn’t that kinda like putting your head in the dirt because you don’t want to hear criticism? I can understand you not agreeing with his points, but if you don’t hear them in the first place how can you tell if his points are valid?

trexd · May 26, 2018, 6:48pm

I’m waiting for it to finish but now I’m super excited.

anon11544174 · May 26, 2018, 10:27pm
