Tech Notes: |
As noted, only higher gen recordings of this show have surfaced thus far. Alot of higher gen hiss has built up copy after copy. When viewing the recording in a spectrum analyzer, its readily apparent where the later copies contributed the easily removed portion of the hiss. So I shaped a FFT filter designed to remove this built up generational hiss. After listening to various samples and toggling back and forth and fine tuning it, I settled on a setting that I was comfortable was not removing any content or nuance in the recording. The exact settings were different for each cassette side but essentially I used an arc starting at about 10k and ending at 11.75k at -15db, then a straight cut from there. The result is perhaps a 20% reduction of hiss.
I also applied some minor gain changes throughout to address some of the suttle level changes that occur occasionally. These were almost all within 0.5db to 2db.
I also used the PEQ to increase the level slightly at ~2k-3k by ~1.5db. This created a bit more open sound. All of these changes are intended to make this source a little more enjoyable to listen to for those who appreciate this show even though its a relatively weak recording. |
