Lineage > (The best i can say) Various Sources


Hmmm... Where to start ???

Most of these are from bonus tracks / CD fillers
from various bootlegs, that i collected and made
a Soundcheck hub folder of a few years ago

This collection is an updated version of these soundchecks
tweaked and played with by me to make a CD collection of pre JT SC's
I have tried to make all the volumes around the same levels
The 1981-02-12 - Den Haag SC has come from a new source
to that in circulation from a recently re-discoverd Tape
One of the soundchecks was very low on one channel
this i have corrected matching the higher volume of the other channel
the 1984-11-12 - Birmingham Soundcheck sounded so high that i have
made some changes to the parametrics to give a little more bass
and took off some very high pitched sounds

These are in no way near perfect recordings (soundchecks rarely are)
but i would say these are now very much improved.

I have fixed all SBE's as a full 01-19 disc project
Then placed each show in seperate related folders
and then made flac's of them in the related folders
so that each seperate show has its own identity

Tools used = Sony Soundforge 8 / Adobe Audition 3
