Hey, so i'm not sure if this torrent is working anymore. Can anyone help?

I've wanted go back to this recording and to do a better job of processing it so this seemed to be a convenient excuse/moment.   I ran the recording through the newer iZotope RX 2 and there is much less hiss now.  I also re-equalized the tonal balance using about -6dB bass and +6dB treble.

Any particular reason that your loop begins on "I Love L.A.?"  Most of the recordings/listings of this look usually start with "California Girls."

Just curious if you've found that's the song that follows the largest break in the music.  Or if that just happened to be the first song that played when that recording was made.

(I guess the real question should be "is the big space after the last song accurate for what's in the parks?"... as that sort of would answer my question about why the different first track, lol)

Yep, there is a 3 sec. silent gap before "I Love L.A." and that the largest gap in the loop.  By comparison, the silent gap before "California Girls" is only 0.56 sec. long.
If you listen carefully to the end of the track before "I Love L.A.", which is "California Sun", you can hear the track just cut out instead of fading out.  It's very easy to see that edit in a spectral display.  There are a few other edits like that in this loop, which is somewhat unusual because most of the edits I've encountered in the various park loops don't have an obvious cut like that.

Sweet, thank you.  Seems the other version of the loop I've had was cut up into individual tracks, then reassembled.  Right order, but spacing's off.

Wish I could get copies of the other arrangements but, too late now.

Finally remembered to ask this question : are there other actual recordings, live or induction, of this loop or are they reconstructions?

[RocketRodsXPR]

As far as live or induction recordings go, I've only seen the ones (one?) posted here.  The other version of the "regular" loop, source unknown, that appears on a lot other sites is in the right order but has way too much space between the songs.  That's also the one that switches every other song between the Pier loop and the Carousel loop.

No idea what's the situation on the other variations (Jellyfish, Zephyr)... I know they're out there on the streaming sites, but I've never been able to listen to them (plus, know the audio would be messed up with cross-fades from whatever else they're playing, so never would bother with 'em)

That alternating Pier/Carousel version is a reconstruction by CAScreaminDude:

If that was accurately edited based on the actual in-park loop spacing, wonder if they did tweak the spacing at some point after opening... tightened it up a bit.

Maybe worth a PM to CAScreaminDude to ask about the accuracy of the edits?
