Joebeacon Notes : All I Did Was Removed Some Clapping, Fixed Levels, Flac's And Tagged Files.
Fixed phase cancellation and speed corrected (Nov. 2022)
ledwhofloyd Notes: Audio had phase cancellation as the left and right channels were out of phase with each other,
except for some random sections which I had to pinpoint. I found about 20 such sections ranging in length from like 1 s
to 2 mins. I fixed the phase cancellation by inverting the left channel for everything, and then inverting the right
channel for the selected necessary sections. Audio that has phase cancellation sounds very thin because the bass
frequencies essentially destructively interfere with each other, so it is important to fix for the audio to sound right.
Then after I did that, I decided that I should also speed correct it (w/ MATLAB) because it was consistently 1.2% fast.
