This recorder made a preview release of his recording two days after the show in lossy format. After having grabbed his lossy set, I decided to look for this taper on the internet because his original TXT mentioned the recording source was a DAT recorder. After a few hours of searching, I finally found him on a forum he used to go. This guy just did this recording for his own pleasure, as he's basically not a Pink Floyd geek like us. However, after a nice first contact chat on a messenger, he accepted to share the wav files. The extraction included a few problems because the DAT extraction was made a bit in a hurry, with the DAT plugged directly in an integrated soundboard. The recurrent problem was a big out of phase problem which created a sort of overhelming echoes around DG's vocals, keyboards and deep bass sounds. He sent me first his own extraction in wav form but the problem was the same as for the MP3, always that big out of phase problem. Explaining him the problem, Dreamer finally sent me directly the DAT itself, so I could proceed to another extraction with some dedicated hardware. This step of the making of was a rich experience for me, as I learn a lot too for my own. I would like to thanks a lot my friend Franck for everything he explained to me during that process too. As soon as that new transfer was done, I immediatly understood that Dreamer's first capture was bad, as the out of phase problem nearly completly disappeared. No more of that sort of numerical echo surrounding the recording, I was amazed and happy. I was present at this show, and I know there was a really annoying problem with the Olympia sound mastering: the bass was omnipresent during all the shows, and so was the main goal of a slight mastering. As you may have noticed in the lineage, the extraction hardware and filtering was outstanding and the rendering in the studio was nearly perfect. But as we are few to have such an audio hardware to correctly play this recording, the bass level remains too high for an enjoyable listening experience. Using Audition 2, I just Eq it a little more to drop down the bass level and cut the tracks. Mastering could have been deeper, since there are still light clicks remaining here and there, and near distorting sounds on the outstanding Echoes, but one of my first aims was to leave Dreamer's boot as raw as possible. Dreamer himself did not want me to make some changes in the spirit of his job, and was reluctant just for the bass drop. Being not that familiar with audio editing tools, I'd like to thanks all guys down the hubs and other places who give me a hand to understand basics of those tools. I totally have respected all the numerical chain with this mastering, and no lossy form was used during the process. I really hope all of you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy the fact to give something to this fabulous Pink Floyd community which made and still makes me discover such PF materials day after day. Thank you all for supporting me during that period (cheers to all 'beta-listeners' for their advices).
