Re: ROCKIN' ROXBURGH
There's been a breakthrough!
Today I think I've discovered something totally new - I'll call it "De-distortion" until I think of a better name for it. But here is Monkey Business which is one of the most distorted tracks on the set and you could have used the guitar solo to shatter kidney stones. But, well, listen now and tell me what you think. I admit my head is a bit clogged up but it seems okay!

Sounds much improved, especially with the clear and punchy vocals now. Very pleased to hear that you are starting to feel better now.

Definitely a spectacular improvement in the overall sound.
I'm not trying to be picky but constructive and you did say "tell me what you think", well is there any way to tweak the vocals to sound a bit more like John as to me they sound a bit tinny like we could be listening to AI vocals of John singing?

Re: ROCKIN' ROXBURGH
They're not AI vocals don't worry. I don't even know how to do that.
I guess it's just the PA. Public address systems in those days were optimised for speech so all the low frequencies were cut off to enhance intelligibility. You can judge from their talking between songs how rubbish it was. Also bear in mind that this project is the musical equivalent of trying to receive signals from another galaxy. We're dealing with information that is barely there at all. I can't hear very well at the moment but when I get my ears back I'll try and balance it better. At the moment I'm really just trying to get it to work.
(Actually I did just tweak the settings slightly and re-upped it five minutes ago as I think I went a bit hard on the settings thus the slightly unnatural sound)

This is the silver lining of getting covid if there is one, it is getting near the Star Club tapes level now.Lord Reith wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 6:11 am There's been a breakthrough!

Re: ROCKIN' ROXBURGH (new! boosted vocals)
It’s remarkable what a head full of snot can accomplish. Side-by-side against the original, this is a huge improvement.
