Announce: Hyde Park 1976 (Audio Tape Upgrade)+Video synch

Queen London, UK Hyde Park 9.18.1976 (Audio Tape Upgrade) This is mostly flutter reduction upgrade for the poor audio quality tape that suffer from quite a lot of flutter. For now the audio tape is mostly free from flutter issue and i was able to remove tons of them. But even i tried my best to removed all of them there are few flutter that was just to strong for being removed so they ended up being at least reduced, some more and some less. Except flutter reduction i did click, clip and crackle clean up to reduce the dissortion issue at least little bit. Some EQ was done as well to reduce the muffled sound and bring some "air" to it but keep the nice warm touch that the audio have (and not boost the hiss too much as well). Thanks to kurgan who gave me some lossy samples i was able to patch few of the "tape dying" issue. The result are that the audio is still far from perfect but the improvements make the audio more enjoyable. Special THANKS goes to Kurgan who gave me sources and for all who gave me feedback in previus thread.

Thanks for working on it.

thank you, great work!

@kurgan
And i thank you for you support :)

Nice. Thanks a lot, Marlamir.

I checked and downloaded the demo version of the software and realised that it was by bits of seven seconds that the restored audio could be heard with the demo version. This means it must have taken ages to restore this show! Thank you. I'm downloading right now.

Nice one! Thank you :)

Preview/comparison is very promising! Thanks a lot for your effort. Looking forward to listen to it.

Sounds great! I've always hated that flutter on the tape.

Many thanks for your hard work

Very nice quality, thank you!

We should have gotten an official release by now, so we might as well take what we can get.

I am extremely confused. What was changed? Could you do some simple before/after comparison? You know, a 5 seconds of "before" followed by 5 seconds of "after". So that people could actually hear what the upgrade is and what have you done? Thanks

Didn't he do that already on the clip?

Where? It begins with 17 seconds of BoRhap, is followed by the same 17 seconds of BoRhap and then it plays The Prophet's Song

He already did do that, and the differences are clear.

It's a nice upgrade. Far from perfect, but that's not Marlamir's fault - he's made the best of what is available. Thanks again :)
