The T releases are not to be used as a source for anyones so called remastering projects. If you want to do something find a better quality recording of the show and work from that. Don't just take what I have worked on and screw with it. For Trade or Give Away only - Do not Sell - Do not encode as MP3 - MD or any other format which degrades the quality of the recording.

Share freely, losslessly and gaplessly. comments: I recieved this show in flac with no lineage information and some glitches in it a couple of years ago. I have removed the glitches, (by monoizing several sections of .005 second or less each), balanced the levels a little bit to even them out, and reduced some of the loudest claps individually to make it a smoother listen. I saved it to CD and used CD extractor to make these flac files. if there was an abrupt tape flip/recorder shutoff end in here I would have patched in some applause to smooth it out, but it was awhile ago, I'm not sure, didn't make notes of that on this one. I don't think there were any editing changes made to it. this is a nice recording and show, I thought it deserved a chance to be heard without any loud glitches in it. there were only a few before, none left that I notice any more. otherwise this is a reseed. thanks very much to the unknown taper of this for performing a giant service of duty to rockind. (no EQ, noise reduction or speed adjustment was done or needed imho.)" |
