That's what I was thinking... if the sound effects are lossless (and I've already got the full instrumental in lossless), then I could theoretically recreate the clean version (which, by the way, was the stand-alone digital single version, a.k.a. the 45 version).]]> Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:15:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=35376&title=ludacris-stand-up-censored-all-lossy#35376 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=35375&title=ludacris-stand-up-censored-all-lossy#35375 Author: aaronk

Brian, I've analyzed this track before, too. It will not be available in lossless on any CD, because the person who edited the song used an mp3 to begin with. The way you can tell is that the overdubbed sound effects and spots where the vocal drops out completely show up without the 16kHz cutoff. That means whoever made the edit used a lossless version of the instrumental and lossless sound effects. At best, you could use the dirty version and insert the parts that are identical to create a mostly lossless version.]]> Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:53:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=35375&title=ludacris-stand-up-censored-all-lossy#35375 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7066&PID=35374&title=ludacris-stand-up-censored-all-lossy#35374 Author: Brian W.

I'm on my second version of the censored version of Ludacris's #1 hit "Stand Up," and both are lossy. Both the US promo CD single and, surprisingly, the clean version of the "Chicken N Beer" CD album have the song mastered from a 256kb MP3.

Can anyone who owns the censored version of the song on any of the below CDs either do a spectral analysis to see if it's lossless or not, or send me a WAV of the file so I can do the analysis? (A 30-second WAV sample is fine.)
