The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - 5.52 Total Running Time: 47.14 + 38.54 = 86.08 tape was first transferred as a 32-bit wave, with the azimuth adjusted to zero. Since the recording turned out to be mono, only one channel was used to eliminate phasing problems. As the recording was very hissy, noise reduction was used, in various small steps to reduce the noise with less annoying artifacts, but with good overall results. After this, the recording was speed corrected, as it run at the wrong speed. Equalisation was done to get a better balanced sound. The biggest of the improvements was done with multiband compression. Since the recording was quite distorted and compressed the dynamics in the different frequency bands were expanded quite a bit to let the recording breathe more and mask the distortion. It's still very much present, but not as much in the way as before, and it's now certainly listenable. Also, during the multiband compression some of the heavier reverb and some more hiss was reduced. After this, a little equalisation was again done to get the optimum balance in sound. In between songs Peter was hardly understandable due to heavy reverb on his voice, which turned out to be mainly in the bass regions. Here the lower frequencies were reduced a bit to make Peter's speech more audible. Since the recording was still mono, two slight different multitap delays were added, and a little reverb to open up the space. Finally Ozone 3 was run over all of it, not to change the sound very much for which it can be used as well, but only slight changes and especially to normalize the sound. Then fade-ins and fade-outs were applied, the whole file was converted to 16-bit again and then cut up in tracks. The files were converted to FLAC.
