Editing notes (Ross/ledwhofloyd, Jan. 2026):
-One of the main reasons agalli has not previously circulated this is the presence of digital
glitches on his CDs. There were some digital glitches that were single-sample outliers, which
I identified and fixed. However, the digital glitches were primarily of a different type,
characterized by the waveform becoming "step-like" (staying at the same amplitude for 2-1000
consecutive samples, then jumping to a different amplitude, and staying there for more
consecutive samples). Fortunately, each of these step-glitches typically only lasts for 100-
1000 samples, so they actually don't sound that bad - sort of like little pops.
-The step-glitches are too long to restore the audio back to whatever it originally was. It is
possible to manually reconstruct the waveform to "repair" the step-glitches, but this is not
perfect and it is tedious. Although the step-glitches occur at nearly the same instance in
both channels, they are usually offset by 10-100 samples or are longer in one channel or the
other.
-There were originally 14 tracks with microgaps between them. Both sides of the microgaps
always had step-glitches. So I removed the microgaps and repaired the step-glitches here.
-Most of the other step-glitches were during the second half of track 13 through 14. So I spent
some hours repairing some of the 50-ish worst step-glitches (again, imperfectly). It's just
too tedious to do any more, and the benefit of repairing them is not that great

-Some parts of the original audio were clearly phase-inverted. For some other parts, the
channels are so different that it's nearly impossible to tell. Still, I inverted the left
channel throughout to fix the issue (MATLAB).
-Adjusted the channel alignment by 3 to 6 samples (MATLAB)
-The speed was already close enough, so no adjustments

-Automatically balanced the channel levels with MATLAB (the right was typically much quieter
than the left)
-Sometimes you can tell that the live sound engineer was adjusting the levels. Generally, I
haven't tried to correct this except for two brief instances where I did lower the
levels to make the difference between the surrounding audio less extreme (Audacity):
1) start of Sanctuary, and I also automatically clip fixed and manually repaired some of the
clipped peaks, mostly on the left channel
2) start of Once It's Gotcha (here the engineer had the levels so high that the audio on
the left channel is quite distorted for 1.5 sec)
