Eeklair's notes: The mastering on this as a whole was shite. The azimuth is nowhere near the zero point of calibration in relation between the tape and the deck it was ripped from... THEN, the level saturation from lathe to vinyl was below 50%. This was one clicky noisy bugger!!
So I applied Adobe Audition's Auto Click finder/eliminator with 85% complexity and 70% intensity settings (very nice indeed), then I reduced what i consider an appropriate level of hiss - not too much as to remove the natural ambience of the show (Pay attention, Digital Brothers!). So a bottom level of hiss is present. Removing any more would destroy the integrity of the instruments/reverb/ambience, etc.
THen I raised the overall volume level from about 45% to about 85%. It's still about a B- recording, but it's better than before.
If the taper could possibly cough up the source tapes, we could master this thing properly...
Yeah, dream on eek, dream on..
Cheers
