Recording Equipment - History

OKMIIR > A3 > D100 > DAT > M1

Taper: Wilatw

Transfer: M1 > Terratec DMX 6fire 24/96 > Wavelab > WAV > Cool Edit (normalized to -0.2) > CDWave > MKWact > SHN > WAV > Cooledit2000 > SHN

Fixing / Remastering: Rossman.

Remastering notes: This is WILATW's recording. He asked why he had to crank the volume up on his recording. After downloading it, and listening. It appeared to be a normalization problem. Sure enough, after looking at the wav file in Cool Edit 2000, there were a couple peaks caused by nearby clappers. These peaks went way over the average level of the rest of the recording. Thus, when normalized, it normalized to these peaks and did not raise the level of the rest of the show.

So, I reconstructed the show as a single wav file, then isolated the 3 separate peaks and manually reduced them to the average level of the rest of the show. I then normalized the entire show to 98%. I was able to keep the same track/cue points. No processing or cutting was done at all.

Comments

A powerful recording that, after the remastering process, still sounds somewhat thin to me (first few songs, after them, recording gets punchier). Instruments come through loud and very clean, and vocals as well, although they all sound slightly distant during first bunch of songs. Audience noise is present, and some voices and a lot of clapping are audible near the taper, but usually between songs. When people calm down, the recording gets an excellent sounding touch. However, overall clarity is pretty good, making this item very enjoyable.

Again, a few lines from Walk On are linked to the end of Running to Stand Still.
