(Remaster/Speed-fix of Dan Lampinski Vol.3)(Flac)

Remaster to fix speed/pitch, tidy up cassette swap & stop edits, and clean & tighten up the overall sound

Many Thanks to djscomics, Kev & Carl and Dan Lampinski for the original torrent on Dime.

This Remaster (Cuztard Pi): *.flac (24bit/96Khz) -> Foobar2000 -> *.wav -> Wavelab6 -> *.wav (16bit/44.1kHz) -> Foobar2000 (level 8) -> *.flac -> Dime

The original recording was in excellent shape but IMHO did need some attention to fix a few issues, mainly:
– Wrong speed/pitch (I determined that the original plays +51 cents sharp)
– some rough edits due to cassette swap & stop
– slightly excessive tape hiss
– insufficient bass response (IMO)

The basic details of the mastering applied to the original 24bit/96Khz version from djscomics seed on Dime (using Wavelab6) are as follows:
A: edit/fill/crossfade cassette swap & stop points (to disguise the abrupt/rough edits)
B: Fix mono portion of Track 1 ‘Bohemian Rhapsody (Opera)’
C: Time stretch by 103.1% (equals -51 cent pitch change)
D: Slight de-hiss
E: EQ / Multiband Compression / Limiting (-0.2dB max) / Dithering to 16bit (bass boost & tighten up the sound)
F: WAVs edited to fit on to 2xCDRs (with overlap) plus fade in/out (using the same CD break point as the original)
G: track split (I’ve added a few more track breaks as per track list above)

Please note that this remaster reflects my own personal preferences with respect to listening to live shows. Remastering has been done to polish the raw master recording with the aim of enhancing the listening experience. This includes some editing of the original to disguise the cassette swap & stop points to make it seamless (i.e. prior to ‘The Prophet’s Song’, ‘Now I’m Here’ & ‘Hey Big Spender’) as well as some tweaks to ‘polish up’ the overall sound. So if you prefer virgin recordings, unspoiled by any such amateur ‘dabbling’ then do not join in on this one, you can still get the original recording on Dime (for CD 16bit format) here:
