DVD 125; lineage: TDK IEC II/Type II Chrome cassette -> Denon DRM-540 -> iMic (16-bit) -> .aif -> Peak4 (remove DC offset/pitch correction/track splits) -> .flac (level 8)

Another show provided by Christian. Glad to have ya back!!

I split the shows according to where the tape-flips were. I didn't wanna break up anything - even crowd applause. If you wanna play around with the discs, be my guest!

I now run all of my analog-to-digital recordings through Peak4's "Remove DC Offset" tool. From the Peak4 manual: "Peak4 will scan the left and right channels of a stereo file independently. DC Offset is usually caused by problems in the analog to digital conversion process. The result is that the waveform is not centered on the base line – it is offset either higher or lower than the center line."

The cassettes I received were definitely pitched slightly slow, but other than fixing that I did not make any adjustments or use any filters. The only flaw I noticed was some "wobbling" in the volume during the first minute of "Waiting for My Man." Outside of that, this is a pretty good recording (B+)! My guess is that any circulating copies were made from the slow-pitched recording, so this is very likely an upgrade to what's available.
