What makes you think the download was in aiff?
#2babaganoush2021-03-07 15:38
Some sources across the web can confirm that if you will search this release with the soundcloud link
#3Alpha Flight 19702021-03-07 15:46
Why don't you link the "some sources"?

Thanks, also Discogs confirms. Let's see if we can exactly find this file.

Proof that it was originally at least some lossless file (hover over download button and it will show its size) https://web.archive.org/web/20110403072106/https://soundcloud.com/zinc/zinc-ready-or-not-2003-mix (2011 snapshot)
Also seems like in 2012 Zinc replaced the source file with mp3 320 since the download size decreased to ~14Mb

If you just want it in lossless, doesn't matter if aiff or flac, I might be able to get it. Didn't check yet, if it's from that download or another source.

Well, I may even ask Zinc on his Bandcamp page or other networks if he still has that file. Btw I have bought the Bandcamp release of this mix but all I wanted is to check if the Soundcloud version had better DR score.

Try this one.
I have no idea of its original source thou.

Thank you. Seems like the one you uploaded is pretty much the same thing that I have bought on Bandcamp judging by spectrograms and DR values. The only difference is the Bandcamp's version has some noise remover applied to its high end and also its ending is 600ms longer. I suspect that your version could have been converted from that aiff file I was looking for.
#11Alpha Flight 19702021-03-08 17:58
I suppose the flac like the aiff are both converted from the same wav. According to Discogs Zinc published mp3, aiff and wav in 2017 as freebies.
Let's keep the request open, some day somebody might show up with the aiff.

I don't think these are freebies since Zinc released remastered '95 version in 2017 and 2003 Mix in 2018 on Bandcamp as paid digital downloads. You still can get both on Bandcamp for 1+ GBP and downloads in any of these formats ('95 mix is 24bit btw but with quite narrow dynamic range - 4dB).

Asked Zinc about the old 2011 version: he says that this version is potentially long gone and the only way to get it is to find someone who downloaded it back in 2011. About the difference: he claims that the old version is 'unmastered' and the Bandcamp version is re-mastered. That's all.
