Hi Everybody,
I would like to share with you here a small project I have been working on. I am rather new to these things so I hope you will appreciate my efforts.
I have ripped the vinyl of the bootleg King's Favourite, Live in Brussels, September 21st 1984.
I then upgraded a little bit the audio, by increasing volumes, treble and bass and trying to reduce the tape hiss in the acoustic set, where there still are unfortunately some cracklings of the vinyl. I have to admit that the result is pretty good. The bootleg itself already had an A- sound, so I decided to share it with the community.

Not really, a 260 kbps AAC is the last thing I expect when someone talks about vinyl rip followed by audio processing materialized in a FLAC file.
Don't know what to say without discouraging you (or worse), maybe just thank you for answering my question.
The reply was:
You didn't make a bad job of it, but it clips a bit in places.
I made a flat transfer of this one from vinyl, but yours might have the edge on it should you want to have a second try.
It's an invisible click-able link to the right of the date/time on each post.
The user interface on this site has become flakey at best, and it doesn't always work it seems.
If you're going to try the transfer again why not do it flat at 24/96?
The vinyl LP is much better quality than the later CD version, so a lossless high res transfer would be in order.
I'd also be inclined to go straight from the deck/amp output to sound card input and capture direct to audacity.
Set audacity sampling preferences @ 96000 Hz and 32 bit float.
This would enable you to remove EZ Vinyl Converter > M4A File > conversion to FLAC from the lineage.
Also avoid using a USB interface, use 2 x phono to 3.5 stereo jack cable. link

Alright, thank you all for the suggestions and thanks for bearing with me with this first attempt. At the moment due to the fact that because of work I am away from home I will not be able to re-do the rip soon. As I have more time, I will re-do the process with your suggestions. Grazie.
