(Recorder 3 Source with Recorder 2 Patches)
Transfer: "Tunnel Of Love Berlin-West" 4LP > Pioneer TT > MacBook Pro > Audacity > Peak Pro XT (manual de-click / pitch correction / subtle tweaks / patches / volume smoothing / indexing) > xACT > FLAC
A total of 4 recorder sources are available for this night all are very nice and could stand on their own, this share is what I'm calling Recorder 3.
Here are all the sources available:
Recorder 1: Vortex242 Master http://jungleland.dnsalias.com/torrents-details.php?id=36154
Recorder 2: Lucky_Dog Master http://jungleland.dnsalias.com/torrents-details.php?id=36158
Recorder 3: "Tunnel Of Love Berlin-West" 4 LP Set (Boss22788) this share
Recorder 4: Un-booted Source (I have a 2nd generation tape of this source and will share in a future posting)
This capture comes to us via a 4 LP set that has been in my possession since release. It is excellent quality, very close with the least intrusive audience noise of all the sources.
Of the 4 sources this is the only source that has the start of Hungry Heart complete and uncut.
There were a few cuts which I've patched with a pitch corrected version of the Lucky_Dog source making this show for the first time 100% complete with no music or dialogue missing. The Luck_Dog source seemed to fit a little better with this source than the Vortex242 source.
As far as which source you might prefer that would be a matter of taste depending on your set up. As I mentioned this share is 100% complete.
I got a bit hyper focused on this show and this source to make it the absolute best it can be. I don't use any auto de-clicking software as any I've tried cuts the fidelity along with the click.
The vinyl was very good to start with but I have spent hours manually de-clicking this source trying to find even the smallest click because it's that great of a show in exceptional quality, I felt it was worth the time spent.
With that said and with most vinyl there are still some very subtle clicks that are buried in the music spectrum to far to take out without compromising the music. I think you'll find these are few and far between.
Thanks to my old snail mail trading partner Vortex242 for sharing his fine source and the Lucky_Dog source which allowed me to complete this source.
