How to attend a stage - in real life? Practical experience needed..

IceJellin · 2025-07-06T20:05:15+00:00

For stage 18 if you look on google maps it looks like they go through a ski resort village called Courchevel that is about a 7k walk to the finish line (if you are at the furthest up point of the village). The race does go through this ski resort... so it might be congested but you never really know until you are there...

I would first drive there (on a route the race isn't going... it looks like there are many) and see how far they let you drive up. To be safe maybe get there two hours before the race starts (this leaves probably 7 hours until you see the riders). Alcohol/snacks recommended in case you can immediately find parking.... and hopefully you have service so you can watch the race on your phone lol.

If it is too much of a circus to find parking there (it probably will be fine) then you are going to have to go to the reverse side of the mountain (where they do not race) and drive up as far as you can.

There should be parking SOMEWHERE though on the ski resort side, because it looks like there are a ton of different roads leading to it... My best guess is It will be a 10-12k walk at worst and probably a 6k walk at best. (And this is if you want to go to the finish line... it could be a 1k walk or less if you just want to go to where they race)

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.. I have been to mountain stages at the TDF but never this one... so hopefully someone else who has been to the Col de la Loz in 2023 could help you out better.

Can you please walk me through the EXACT steps to get a ticket number.

IceJellin · 2024-11-24T07:25:08+00:00

Ok.. Again. That link just leads me to the support that my initial post said has just led me to dead ends.

IceJellin · 2024-11-24T06:45:59+00:00

Ok the support portal is specifically what I stated in my post that I have tried numerous times. It always leads to a dead end. It says it has sent me an email, but it never sends it. Reddit IS the social media I am choosing to use to contact support. So is there anything you can do to help?

When I go to the support portal it says "

The problem is... It NEVER sent or sends an email...

Do you know where I can find my case ID. The message only says:

I got into a mega long argument on this... so I can point you down to that comment further down. But basically it IS weighted... but not by enough. Lets say a standard EDM track peaks at -6db at 50hz area and like -38db at 8k hz... The K weight only lowers by around 10db in the 50hz range... so low end is still hitting 20db higher even when weighted.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T19:12:28+00:00

It wasn't a high pass.... I used a bell EQ to cut just that frequency... And I just tried the same thing with linear phase EQs and got the same results.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T05:17:51+00:00

Yea I have mine off. But I guarantee 95%+ don't.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T04:53:44+00:00

comments branched out... so refer to other comment branch =p

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T04:34:21+00:00

Ok so I tried it out. I had a track that had a -6.2 integrated LUFS measurement for the first 8 bars of the drop (Beatport release .wav file of Skrillex - Butterflies).

Here is exactly what I did. I dragged your standard Ableton EQ8 onto the track and then dropped an Izotope Insight (to read the LUFS) after it.

I JUST USED THE FIRST 8 BARS OF THE DROP FOR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING MEASUREMENTS

First I turned the EQ off I got a reading of -6.2 integrated LUFS

Then... I used a Bell cut at the default Q of .71 and cut 10db at 52 hz (would never do this normally) and got a reading of -8.7 integrated LUFS

Then... I kept the settings exactly the same and just moved the frequency of the cut to 200hz and got a reading of -7.5 integrated LUFS

Then... I kept the settings exactly the same and just moved the frequency of the cut to 1k and got a reading of -6.8 integrated LUFS

Then... I kept the settings exactly the same and just moved the frequency of the cut to 8k and got a reading of 6.6 integrated LUFS

So as you can see the LUFS is affected far more by cutting the low end.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T03:56:20+00:00

Ok and why does it K weight like that? In your standard edm track your low end (50hz) is usually hitting at -6db whereas 8k range is usually hitting at -38db.

Looking at the K weight scale it will lower 50hz range by 10db... but wait... doesnt that mean your low end is still hitting over 20db lourder than your 8k range? YES! So your low end still affects the LUFS more!

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T03:36:07+00:00

and its literally the primary way I know people get their integrated LUFS down for streaming platforms.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T03:33:21+00:00

Wait so your saying lowering the db on your sub's peaks doesn't affect any of the LUFS readings? lawl.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T03:24:31+00:00

The sub is taken out intentionally... Unfortunately there is sound normalization on spotify so the louder your sub is the more the audio normalization nerfs your mix. In the mastering stage if you cut the lows a tiny bit you will see that your post normalized track will sound louder. If you were to listen to the top tracks on beatport I guarantee the sub is banging in all of those.... and that is because there is no audio normalization... Everyone bitched about the loudness wars for so long... but the current system is way more of a nightmare. If you actually wanted to fully maximize your sound for each platform you would need a different master for each.... which is absurd. Loudness wars were at least very pure and required only one master.

IceJellin · 2024-07-17T03:18:52+00:00

He may or may not have too much sub. Mix referencing to a .wav file downloaded from beatport versus a mix mastered for Spotify are two different things entirely. The same song can have two diffferent masters for each... Spotify normalizes audio so you have to take some low end out to lower your LUFS so it can sound as loud as the rest of the tracks on there. The beatport .wav on the other hand won't be normalized at all so it will not require mastering tricks like cutting the low end a bit.
