6music Goth Week - 27th Oct

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Heads up....goth week is coming up on 6music and I have heard from a very reliable source that they will be broadcasting another 1984 Sisters session (the one with Heartland and Jolene) at some point in the week.

The method I use for downloading streams is a prog called StreamBox VCR:

Not sure that'd work for live streams, but if they archive it it wouldn't be a problem.

Found a way of doing it via Goldwave, but the sound isn't that great. May try again when I not downloading stuff at the same time!

By Monday I'll have a digital radio tuner linked directly to an audio CD recorder (saves messing about with the Sky box). I'll be recording most things directly to CD at CD quality rather than messing about with the low quality streams. If anyone needs a copy of anything just let me know...

Michael, are you aware that 6music on DAB only broadcasts at 128kbps, whereas it's a 160 or 192kbps (can't remember which) stream on Sky Digital (or freeview or cable).

So if you plan to encode at a greater bitrate than 128 (and everyone should) then the TV set-top box is the best source around.

As Mr Sunsets has mentioned I will be recording the session to my TiVo and encoding at 192kbps.

If anyone needs the files just let me know.

No, I wasn't aware of that! All of which basically means that I shall leave the audio CD recorder permanently fixed to the second SKY box. Cheers Derek!

I thought Mr. E :von: was a Git in that interview, too many 'dead air' moments, and he was not as baritone as expected, sounded a bit of a weed, IMO of course.

The chirpy cockney act you get used to. What bothered me was indeed the 'dead air', but also his general quiet, mumbling performance. He was certainly backing off the mike. He's been in the business long enough to know how a microphone works. Pah!
