Regarding the Old Tunes tapes
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 12:31 am
It have recently discovered some very important things about AFOT, OTV2 and R35 that no one seems to have noticed yet.
They are slightly off speed.
Or rather, the better sounding leaks, including the entire R35 are.
I have come to this conclusion based on this:
The Old Tunes Vol. 2 that is on rareboc is compiled from the original soulseek leak from the 00's and the "AFewOldTunesVol.2" leaks.
On the original leak, the tracks that would later be replaced by the better leak (AFOTv2) are at a slightly slower speed than those from the latter.
The other tracks sourced from the OG leak on the OTv2 compiled by rareboc (We've Started Up, Staircase Whip etc.) are at the same speed.
Now we could come to the assumption that the AFOTv2 leaks are the correct speed and that all other tracks are too slow. This is wrong and I'll explain why.
When comparing AFOT with Boc Maxima (which I used for reference speed, as the tracks there appear on other albums) the tracks are faster and of slightly higher pitch on AFOT. The track 5-9-78 is also a bit faster when compared to the Nissan commercial that feature it. This should also be a good reference as that "rip" of the song is directly from the brothers themselves.
Also, every song on AFOT is off key. Every single one. Now we know that this is something they quite often do deliberately, but every single song? That seems like a weird coincidence.
We can now be quite sure that AFOT is running a bit too fast. 30 ct to be exact.
Regarding R35, the tracks from AFOT are at the same speed as the ones on all other leaks, i.e. too fast. Also, every song is off key and the interludes that also appear on MHTRTC are a bit faster and higher pitched.
I believe that it was the same person that both leaked the HQ AFOT (AFewOldTracksVol.1) and the HQ OTv2 (AFewOldTunesVol.2).
This is because they both feature the letters, perhaps a tag of some sort, "rfl" in all of the song titles and they both feature a low level hum on the right channel which probably comes from that persons tape deck or amplifier.
This person probably leaked R35 too as it matches up with the others quality wise.
This person probably had his deck running slightly too fast.
I believe that the OG leak of AFOT is a second generation copy recorded too fast and that the OG leak of OTV2 is correct speed and leaked by the same person.
SO, to sum this up:
The high quality tracks on OTV2 are too fast.
R35 is too fast.
AFOT is too fast.
This conclusion has been reached by comparing different sources.
Everything is off by +30 ct, if 0 is the correct value.
I might be completely off with this but I think that this time, I'm not.
