RECORDING/MASTERING NOTES:
This is u22utoo's recording. He requested this remaster.
He sent me the raw mono files which he recorded.
The following steps are what was done (almost the same as the 11/4/05 remaster):
>Converted the mono file into a stereo file.
>Reduced the volume of the recording by 6db to have some room to work with.
>Added a slight reverb to the recording to give it a warmer more natural stereo feel.
>Applied a light noise reduction to help eliminate noise and some distortion.
>Normalized the final product to 98%
>Faded in & out.
I normally don't like to mess this much with a recording. But, the ususual nature of this recording needed this to be
done to make it enjoyable to listen to. I think it worked rather well. I wasn't able to eliminate all the distortion
present but it is now a much more pleasant recording. Very similar results to the 11/4/05 remaster I did.
Lastly, Thank you to the taper, "u22utoo", for recording and having me do this for him. I have learned a LOT in the process!
Thank YOU!
Enjoy!
