Here's Mean Mr Mustard for anyone wanting a smaller and quicker to download sample track...

Hi Ian,

Thanks for posting. I see the above are in flac, did you re-rip the cd becasue the 1st two songs you posted were in mp3, just curious. I think you accidentally included the "Something" link for Mean Mr Mustard.

Thanks,

Apologies for duplicate link. I have now edited my post above.

The mp3s aren't my uploads. Mine are the two flacs.

Thanks Ian

OK, Ian's is tonally closer to my rip but still a bit muted sounding. Paul's is very muffled compared to mine and Ian's.

Honestly I would just ditch the De-Emph script or whatever and do it by ear because the other way is simply not accurate according to my samples. The results speak for themselves.

Here is the 2nd half of the Medley. I have to upload the whole thing because that's how I recorded it and my MP3 splitter won't split a track that long.

And if anyone is interested in the "untouched" Black triangle version to make the comparison, I'll gladly upload it.

OK with you paul62 ?

Upload away. It will be un-listenable though for those that don't already know. It will be extremely bright and noisy but may sound good to those with old ears LOL. You should upload the raw UN-Emph'd files just for archival sake which appeals to my archivist/preservationist side.

I seriously fear decades from now all we will have of the source materials are versions that have been digitally dicked with 10 times over and no longer represent the original source. In other words a remaster of a remaster of a remaster of a remaster of a remaster and so on.

After you post then other people can take a crack at de-emph'ing it hopefully adjusting it be ear instead. Trust your ears.

Thank you for the post!!

Thank you for the post!!

If you want to burn that to CD there's a process where you have to manually set an "emphasis" flag in the cue file thingy.
This also assumes a more modern player would have the decode circuitry.

Thank you, paul62 and yymca6!

Here are yymca6's files de-emphasized in sox and normalized up to 0.5 (as an album of course) in izotope. They sound not so bright as the original and not so muffled as paul62's ones (sorry, paul62!):

Those sound really good and proper. Thanks!
