| Recorded at the BBC 'Science Session: Let's Make Pop'. London, UK. Great SQ. From the info file: BBC 'Science Session: Let's Make Pop' (Escapist Restoration) London, England, March 5th 1969 (broadcast day) transferred by FurryAnimal from M.B. tapes original upload by Hallucalation restoration by Escapist Sound Quality: VG Source: Pro-Shot Video or Radio?

LAYING DOWN THE TRACKS (6:14m) FROM THE ORIGINAL INFO FILE: Well, it´s not a big improvement in SQ, but it doesnt sound as shrilling as the one on the On The Air roio, which was NRed resulting in a very annoying listen. This one sounds a little more natural but it´s still in the VG area. This is a documentary about the multi-track recording techniques, and includes some outtakes from the recording of the More soundtrack, Cirrus Minor precisely. -gbc RESTORATION WORK in IZOTOPE RX3: - Azimuth correction - Converted to Mono - Declick to remove the buzzing sound - Spectral repair (attenuation) to even out the frequency spectrum - Minor EQ adjustments Overall there wasn't much I could do to this to try and improve the sound. That said, I wanted to try and get rid of the buzzing sounds and reduce some of the more 'piercing' frequencies. No noise reduction was applied as it was pointless in my opinion - I tried a variety of algorithms and settings but it was either overly damaging or pointless! Really, this is to be taken as a supplement to the original upload rather than a replacement. Thanks to all involved in the creation of the original transfer and upload, and thanks to those who offered feedback on this and encouraged me to upload it! - Escapist (Feb 2014) |
