The orginal concert recording sounds very thin, hardly any bass or very high top frequencies can be heard, the source sounds dull and hard to make out (Painful on the ears) at very loud sections. The vocal volume constantly changes so needed to have attention. The aim was to fix these issues and upgrade the fidelity of the recording, fix any problems and balance everything out.

The Entire complete concert has been patched into one continous complete file, giving the full concert experience!

All Pops and Crackles removed, remastered as 44.1Khz 24 Bit as quite honestly the extra audio information is virtually negligable due to source format (The LP Set source comes from a 1st Gen Casette copy which was made from a Reel to Reel which was used for recording made at the venue) I Guess they used great mics and a great recorder for the age of this recording :-)

Top frequencies have been almost totally restored, also bass frequencies have been recovered by pitch shifting the bass both up and down by but kept in tune then EQ'ed and cleaned and mixed this in to the mix, compression applied to stablize the bass end. The top end middle frequencies were also enhanced in this way; pitch shifting but keeping in key then using the recovered requencies that were missing and adding them back in to the mix, lots tidying and EQ'ing. Full EQ Balance and basic mastering applied, slight compression on mixdown to stabalize the mixdown.

Slight hiss reduction has also been applied where needed.

I may have used a little too much adaptive noice reduction in certain very quiet parts due to artifacts caused by distortion which is present on the original source and magnified by the upscale process. Distortion seems to be magnified by the upscaling process due to this some distortion was unable to be removed as it is present on the original recording, especially in the very loud sections. These sections have been treated as much as possible without causing obvious artifacts or degradation to the sound, however they are not worse than the source recording.
