Tech Notes Here's a Cash-Dylan boot, though I have no idea when or

where the tracks were recorded. I don't know if this boot

is being widely traded. It was originally pressed on vinyl.

It's another of those no-info boots.



I performed noise reduction and click removal on all tracks.

That was followed by 'soft' remastering, in order to compensate

for relative changes in frequency and dynamics that often follow

noise reduction. Since these were studio tracks, my goal was to

restore the recordings, as transparently as possible, to a more

original state than that represented by the initial shns which

I received.



You need to make a careful comparison between the remastered

tracks and the originals. Remastering is a subjective enterprise.

You'll have to determine which version of the boot is most acceptable

for your purposes. I could easily have performed more exhaustive

noise reduction, but that would have required an additional series

of remastering steps (and alot more time). And considering that the

boot was digitized from vinyl, any extra work might not have produced

striking improvements, anyway.



At any rate, I probably didn't get all the pops out. Most of them,

though.

--Talk about fuckin' tedious!! It's like looking for a whole lot of

needles in a haystack. Old vinyl can be mighty noisy.
