radio broadcast

Total Recording: 87:39 minutes
This Torrent: 73:36 minutes (official tracks removed)

Lineage:
Trade CDR>Adobe Audition>CD Wave>Adobe Audition>CD Wave>FLAC

Notes:
The music was running fast, and Professor goody suggested that an adjustment for '36 cents' sharp be made.
This slowed down the recording slightly, so the music files are a little longer than the previous version.

I began with a fresh rip of the CDRs, made the pitch correction suggested by Professor goody, and increased the amplitude slightly on a recording with relatively low levels, both in Adobe Audition. The CDRs had two-second gaps from a long-forgotten trade. I removed the gaps in CD Wave, rejoined the WAV files in Adobe Audition, and re-tracked the final WAV in CD Wave again. I trust you find this tracking better than the previous version?

I removed tracks 01 and 05 to conform with Dime rules.

I can understand the frustration that some of you may feel at the potential of a second download of this recording, on top of the repeat with the Ann Arbor soundboard last week too. Obviously tape recordings suffer from pitch inaccuracies due to playback speed issues on different machines. I'm grateful to Professor goody for his advice and suggestions to correct these valuable recordings. I hope you like the end result, and ensure that this version is circulated in future torrents?

Further thanks to Professor goody for his work on the set-list.
