What I tried to do was play around with the sound to try to improve. This would be my first "serious" remaster of anything at all. I bring to you a sample of my work in FLAC format. The lineage is: ??? > FLAC (from gr8kingrat website) > Soundwork with Audacity > WAV > FLAC The details of the sample are: From 0 to 10 seconds: original FLAC sound From 10 to 25 seconds: remastered sound From 25 seconds to the end: original FLAC sound The sample song is Stone Cold Crazy. This is an amazing show, even if the tape is almost crappy. I remind you this is still a soundboard stereo recording! LINK: link AND PLEASE, if this FLAC source is worse than any other available source, please tell me. I wouldn´t like to be spreading crappy stuff when the good stuff is floating. The same thing goes for my remaster. If you think this is total crap, it isn´t worth it for me to share it, maybe I´ll keep it to myself. This is my first work in sound stuff, so don´t expect something spectacular. Maybe I´ll improve over time. I also remind you that this show has a kick-ass version of White Man. I mean, really really great. (Anyway the remaster of all songs is far from complete...)

Well thanks for your honest asnwer. I think you are right, this recording deserves a pro-remaster. Anyone with experience can do it?

Perhaps you could try a different recording?

I know it´s also a very bad recording, but I believe there is no need to remaster a good recording, it already sounds great as it is... I´ll see what I can do, and if I really do something at all, at least I´ll post a sample later.
