Hi Everybody,

I would like to share with you here a small project I have been working on. I am rather new to these things so I hope you will appreciate my efforts.

I have ripped the vinyl of the bootleg King's Favourite, Live in Brussels, September 21st 1984.

I then upgraded a little bit the audio, by increasing volumes, treble and bass and trying to reduce the tape hiss in the acoustic set, where there still are unfortunately some cracklings of the vinyl. I have to admit that the result is pretty good. The bootleg itself already had an A- sound, so I decided to share it with the community.

LINEAGE

Vinyl —> EZ Vinyl Converter —> M4A File —> Audacity —> Volume, bass and treble adjustments --> conversion to FLAC and track split.

Setlist: Machines (tape),
Tear It Up,
Tie Your Mother Down,
Under Pressure,

Killer Queen,
Seven Seas Of Rhye,
Keep Yourself Alive,
Liar,

Hope you like it. Enjoy.

Great. Can you upload an untouched track for reference?
In fact I would like to ask you to share the whole untouched rip if it's possible.

Thanks!

Thanks for this. Haven't heard it before and excited with those couple of old tracks in there.

Not really, a 260 kbps AAC is the last thing I expect when someone talks about vinyl rip followed by audio processing materialized in a FLAC file.
Don't know what to say without discouraging you (or worse), maybe just thank you for answering my question.
.
I also prefer a flat transfer, thanks anyway.

Useless site, quote missing reply!

The reply was:
You didn't make a bad job of it, but it clips a bit in places.
I made a flat transfer of this one from vinyl, but yours might have the edge on it should you want to have a second try.

Sure Kurgan, thanks for the heads-up, I will give it another try.
