 | Hello Thomas - what format and which quality (kb/s) do your files have?
I don´t have msn (I´m sure it is blocked in our company network). I can give you access to the webiste and you upload it via ftp? |

 | You did a superb job of Carlos Dominguez, Bodo.Hope you can get the same results with the Queen´s College recordings.I was surprised you hadn´t heard of this until this current thread.What software programs etc do you use to remaster and time correct recordings?I was so pleased to get Carlos Dominguez in it´s re-masterd form, as the only version I had heard was on BBC radio as part of the Paul Simon Songbook documentary series and I had looked all over the place for a copy.I put the song on a single disc with a Circa 1964 BW photo of Simon on the cover.Is it a long process to re master something like a complete concert?I assume all the tracks are from the same source and run at the same speed so would it be done a a complete single file or would each track need individual attention?Loads of questions, I know, but this stuff fascinates me!! |

 | MESSAGE TO BODO
Bodo, I have the mp3´s. I really don´t know which quality (kb/s) it is (hope 128, but I don´t know). Maybe I can upload one file, or email just one file to you. That would be the best solution, if I first email you one song so you can check if you want to put then on your site..... |

| Is use Steinberg Clean.
It is much more work to do every track extra, but I think the results are better. But as this is a live recording i think it would be better to convert everything into 1 track (or you will hear changes in the loudness or white noise when the track changes) |

| Stienberg Clean....it certainly made the Carlos Dominguez recording sound superb, Bodo.I am not quite sure that the Queen´s College recording is an actual whole performance done in one appearance as a concert rehersal or wheather it is a seies of songs put together from the same time period.The quality seems slightly different to me on some tracks.9the speed was brought to my attention by a friend who noticed a track I sent to him was slightly speeded up)I hadn´t noticed until then as I was just pleased to have this rare item.Anyway, see what you think when you get the entire set.Is the "Steinberg Clean" a program that is available to download offline or do you have to buy the software.Also, does it remove noises,pops and hiss automatically?I know what you mean when you say it might be better to do it all as a single track, thus maintaining even volume etc.Just out of interest, Bodo, are there any other concerts or recordings that you are missing, as this one came up quite by chance with my earlier posting?It´s amazing what is uncovered by chance. |

| I downloaded an early version of Steinberg Clean some years ago. Today I can´t find any new versions for download, it costs a few hundred $.
It does a good job, and everything automatically.
But sometimes I also use Goldwave. Goldwave needs a lot of experinece on nooise reduction, but the results are even better.
I once started restoring one of the 1984 Paul Simon shows, but these are so many tracks (24 - 27) that I never finished it - and I stopped when I realized that every track sounds a little bit different when restoring them separately.
I´ll see if I can share this Old version of Steinberg clean somewhere. Goldwave is available everywhere on the net.

| Would be great to have a look at one of these noise reduction programs.Yes, Bodo, the 1984 shows are great, among my personal favorites.At least knowing they are from the same source and are all the same original volume and quality would make it easier to restore them as a single track and then split them later.I suppose you would need to keep accurate notes on what you had done on each track doing them one at a time to get even results.I have had the 1970 S&G in Amsterdam for a few years now, which I thought was great quality until I recently got a copy of a first ripping straight from the Yellow Dog boot which is amazingly better quality.I know I am wavering on the subject here, but it shows that there are always bound to be better source recordings than the ones that we have already got.I was told (not too sure how accurate the info is)that the 1970 Amsterdam show was once and only once broadcast on Dutch radio so is a first class quality recording in it´s original format.Ans, you might have info on this broadcast.So there might well be versions of the 1984 shows etc available.It is amazing how much the compression to mp3 can diminish the quality of the originals.Also many of the boots have been badly chopped up to make them into single tracks so I have re edited most of mine, an ongoing project, to single tracks which is painstaking but worth it.It is possible to join a badly cut intro on a single note or word so there are no noticable gaps,jumps or abrupt endings to tracks.Hope you can produce something of the Queen´s College. Bodo....keep us posted on the progress. |
