ANNOUNCE - Golders Green Hippodrome Vocal Restoration

it seems that the link is not working at the time..

Awesome sound !!!!
Fantastic job, thanks so much for this restoration GinjaNinja !!! ;)

I'll check back when the link is restored. This sounds too good to be true. I've always dreaded turning up the volume on the computer, hoping to hear the vocals more clearly. All it did was make the speakers go static from all the heavily distorted guitars.

now is working fine
thanks a million!
:)

I still can't access the file. That's okay though, i'll be patient. I hope it's worth the anticipation i'm working myself up over. I sincerely thank you for all your superb contributions :]

The link seems to work fine for me. Try refreshing it a couple of times if it says "file not available".

Thank you so much for this share!

Thanks a lot!!

Could you please write down some notes HOW did you create this ? Thanks

Basically, I just raised the volume of the quadraphonic "rear" tracks. They were mostly drums and bass with a little guitar, so although the vocal was not really any louder, the reduction in guitar volume made it sound so.

Process:
1. I duplicated the track, then swapped around the stereo channels in one.
2. I then adjusted the Phasing by 90 degrees. After merging these tracks with the originals, this gave me the "rear" channels.
3. They had noticeably less guitar, and what was there wasn't panned so severely.
4. I wasn't quite sure how to obtain the "front" channels, to be able to properly mix, so I re-imported the original, and just mixed this in with the "rear" channels, thus raising the volume of the vocals, drums and bass in relation to the guitar.

I hope that explains it :) I don't think this sort of thing would be possible with other recordings though, but perhaps using spectral isolation tools you could raise the volume of the vocals alone, or adjust other things.

Thanks

thanks!!

Megaupload is down :(
So.....time to repair some links here and there, starting with the ones from 1973 !!! :)

You can also put Quad tracks through a Dolby Pro-Logic decoder. They don't come out exactly as intended because the matrix coefficients are different, but you do get something. I have the older "Pittrek Best of the Best" of this concert from the enormous torrent, I'll try playing it with Pro Logic turned on and see what happens.

Cool, good luck with that.
