Man he NEEDS to fix that lag on those “Hiiii with a bunch of i’s, or heyyyy with a bunch of y’s” lines on New Again
Sounds like someone recorded that verse while they were on a phone call with Ye and he was spitting it into his iPhone but the WiFi was lagging
That verse trash anyway
lol @ the pop smoke bit
Why does it still sound like they recorded the song off an iphone then spliced together clips

pretty sure that's intentional. i kinda like the sound there
Ye needs to fix the choir cutting off on hurricane
nah, that’s a cool touch. I really like how he did that
Is this different on YouTube Music?
probably not, remember how nav's verse on yosemite sounded when astroworld dropped but it was later fixed? not here
2:00
?
There’s a change to the choir coming in but I’m not sure if it’s what’s mentioned in OP or from over listening to the listening party version
I posted this in the Donda thread a few hours ago. From the Leak Site so these might not be 100% accurate
THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS, THIS WAS COPY AND PASTED FROM THE LEAK SITE AND REDDITcredits to @sab for this:
this is what i got earlier btw for proof
this is every FLAC downloaded upon initial release inverted over every FLAC i downloaded earlier today, all in one bc i was too lazy to do all 27 separately
you can see the changes were all in the 3kHz and below range (everything above is just white noise created by 27 different tracks playing on top of each other)
will update when more changes are pushed through & i have access to the FLACs
Wow there’s a stereo spread

talks about feeding the clan

bit crusher on Kanye vocals
vory sounds like he has Mike dean treatment
the sample from the OG now fits better
choir now is not overtaking the whole mix
due to there being a stereo spread adding more ceiling to it.
sounds like there is an additional bass in parts that sounds wet (yes that is a mixing term)
underneath the sub
kanye vocals need heavy work
vocals haven’t changed very much
instruments like drums and bass are more apparent
bass is tamed with a limiter and is not so dirty/distorted

he has ad libs on ye‘s last verse
Where the 'new' FLAC's from? I inverted them from various sources and found them to all be identical.
pretty sure that's intentional. i kinda like the sound there
it sounds cool I honestly don’t want it to be changed
One dude who was interviewing a mixer for the album, said the changes were cap

sourced my original FLACs from Deezer before Jail Pt 2 went up
used a new rip downloaded maybe a day later, there was just a little filter on it that lowered frequencies below 3kHz (which is pretty common, happens to albums all the time without people noticing, not even worth calling it a v1.1), but none of the changes op mentioned
still have yet to verify any of the changes in op
ayyyy i can actually notice a few of these changes. some for the better, a couple for the worse. don't need the bitcrushers on ye's vocals tbh

Can confirm
Looks like the files were changed the morning of release. Like when Jail Pt 2 went up
I don't have the ear to spot changes, but here's "Ok Ok Pt. 2" to show people how slightly different the mix can be
onlyfiles.cc/f2/b6EvAkaFv93OUOO
Used two different versions. Both lossless. Inverted one, mixed together and exported in Audacity
Also, doing a bit-comparison between the WAV files will show differences
Confirmed with my private trackers nerds
Nothing has changed on any platform

Are you on RED?
There definitely was some differences between when the album was first released and Jail pt 2 was added.
It's either a very slight mix change or the original upload was watermarked by UMG
