Lineage: Roland CS-10EM binaural mics -> Zoom H1 -> Audacity -> CD Wave Editor -> FLAC 1.3 -> you

This torrent is incompatible with the CD-Audio standard. The sound is in 24-bit stereo sampled at 96 kHz. Feel free to post a downsample - I’m not going to at least until I’ve got all my tapes done.

Notes, rambles, etc.:

I thought the difference in levels between what was coming from the PA vs the audience made for an overly drastic dynamic and decided to attempt to normalize. If you want the raw files, just contact me. You are welcome to do your own ‘remaster.’

Deciding where to divide tracks was a continual toss-up between the point where the music starts, or where it seems like the talking has turned into a song, or when the talking is clearly a preamble to a particular song. Again, if you want to do better, D.I.Y..

Phones were quarantined or I might have a few more pics. Still, it was nice not seeing all the screens being held up as is so often the case these days.

Peace,
