First of all, if anybody has RAW versions of any shows that have been posted lately, please help. Some people have done some terrible work on attempting to transfer tapes to CD. This was also one of those.
The problems with this recording are
1. NR was used on some of the tracks. You can hear it kick in after Hello its me
2. Some songs had more high end than others. 2 sources?
3. Bad editing, bad fade outs, and un-necesarry tracks. We did not need a 9 second track for TR tuning before BM
But all in all this is a great show/recording. I did what I could to make it sound even.Some EQ was added, levels boosted (NO COMPRESSION) and the Declicker was applied as I am not sure if this was ever vinyl sourced, but when I auditioned the declicker, it was removing all kinds of crackles.NO NR either. Looking at a spectrum analysis, the high end was not always present, prbably due to NR. When my denoiser program does nothing at all, it tells me NR was applied.I did alot more to the electric part of the show than the beginning.
This would be much better if we had an original, unprocessed source, than me trying to cover up someone else's work. I am happy with the reults. Curious to hear your comments to compare other versions floating aroun. And if you do not have this one, it is one of those must have. Thanks for being patient. Enjoy!
