Autechre Quaristice.Quadrange (STEREO DIFFERENCE)

Here's something I've been tapping more and more into recently: Finding the stereo difference of various

recordings. Doing this stuff on electronic music is great, there's stuff in Autechre and Aphex tracks you never hear in the original

until you hear these. I just uploaded the stereo difference of Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae so feel free to download. All of the files are 160kbps .wma. More of these kind of things will be coming soon (hopefully). Enjoy.

Wait, what is it exactly that you've done to this tracks?

uploaded them in a shit format at a shit bitrate and posted a download link

You subtract both channels removing what is equally on both the left and the right. What you're left with is whatever was panned. It's pretty interesting this one, there's quite a lot of ambient, droney stuff in there, with some crap. I wouldn't bother downloading the Chenc9-1Dub one.

BTW there's no point in encoding them at a very high bitrate due to the fact the original recordings are compressed anyway. 320 kbps mp3 is the highest rate you can encode at without the end result sounding like it's at 48kbps. I expect the real bitrate/quality of the actual differences could be somewhere round 128kbps anyway.

interesting...I acutally thought that chenc9-1Dub was the most interesting, because I could best hear that glitchy monotone robot noise.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for everyone. I can't wait to listen. Have a great day.

Ah chenc9-1dub, the definitive latter ae letdown.

BOOOOOOOOO

so much white in 9013-2

Hey, what's that i see on your hands?

Oh, i see it now: too much time.

Hello FutureImage !

Wich softwares or whatever you use and how to do that ?

wow, didn't know wma still existed. so these zunes are still being made as well. i wonder for how long that will be

I use Sound Forge, but you can probably use any decent audio editor. I expect Audacity will do it.

could you post a tutorial how you exactly did it? or is it just some standart setting?

open the song in audacity, click the drop-down menu to the left of the waveform and select split stereo track, open the same menu for each of the new tracks and select mono, highlight one track and select invert from the effects menu, hit the play button, continue wishing this would create new autechre album

edit - a friend of mine had broken noise cancelling headphones that did this (subtracted the channels instead of the outside noise), I think it's actually kinda sweet if you have no idea what's going on and expect vocals or something to come in...
