Notes This is an FM broadcast but it is NOT perfect. Upon first listen, I noticed a slightly muffled sound, as if the original tape were several gens down OR had been listened to a LOT. There may be a very slight hint of
warble in some tracks (could be my imagination) ; you be the judge. The tracks are clear though, and it should
now be a pleasant listening experience. The biggest problem was the very low volume levels present on CD 2. The tracks were barely audible. The levels on CD 1 were pretty low also, but not as bad as CD 2. I used Cakewalk Pyro 2005 to double the levels of the first 6 tracks and to multiply the levels of the last 6 tracks by a factor of 6. All tracks are now very loud but with no distortion and very little hiss.
I did NOT touch anything on the interview. I listened to ~ the first 15 seconds of it & it sounded OK to me. I'm
not big on interviews as you may have guessed. I then converted the boosted and retracked wav files to
flac (level 8, aligned on sector boundaries) using Trader's Little Helper. I removed NO music and no applause.
That's about the extent of everything that I did. No EQing was used to change the original flac files, just what has
already been described.
