| Notes | Universe Divided (PRRP 039) - speed-corrected - converts to 2 audio discs (TRT 1:57:03) CD-R -> .wav -> Nero Wave Editor (pitch correction, indexing) -> .wav -> TLH (SB alignment) -> .FLAC An otherwise terrific soundboard from the Hemispheres tour, PRRP's "Universe Divided" production, despite its documented efforts at speed correction, is PLAGUED by pitch issues throughout. Using a free tuning app, I compared against studio references to measure what I was hearing going on in "UD" and discovered in short order that there was no easy diagnosis to the pitch problem! I spent many hours combing through the recording and found that while certain individual songs ran only slightly (8 cents) and consistently slow, others ran more audibly slow (24 cents), others (23, 39, 54 cents) fast; and a good chunk of the songs had a range of deviations within each. "Hemispheres," the biggest offender, started off at about 64 cents above pitch and ended at 14 cents below pitch...a BIG shift which required at least 9 different rates of correction to straighten out! I've since given this rework a number of listens, and while a few small "wobbly" (but not glaring) areas remain, they're not consistent enough within their brief durations that I could meaningfully remedy them. I applied a global 1dB boost to everything except the last track of disc 2 (to even out the apparent volume more closely, to my ears), but took no other liberties with the PRRP sonics. All respect and praise to everyone who had a hand in initially bringing the concert capture to Rush fans! I humbly offer up a speed-(much closer to) corrected version for your enjoyment! |
