Taper Notes:

View NotesReel flips and short segments of missing music (Casey Jones, Bird Song, Lovelight) were crossfaded to stealthy seamlessness by sampling the 2-3 missing beat(s) from the same measure in a preceding/following verse/chorus.   All audio editing was done on 24 bit files.

FFT of waveform showed 2 distinct peaks resulting in an annoying whine.  First peak broadly centered around 8100 and a second at roughly 15700 Hz.  These were attenuated using the SuperNotch notch filter preset of Waves Q10 32 bit paragraphic equalizer performed on the 24/96 WAV files prior to Ozone mastering and MBIT 16 bit rendering.

This is What Became Of The Bettys Source. I cleaned up the interference in the form of an annoying whine in the same manner as I did other Port Chester shows (2/18, 2/21, 2/23, 2/24). However, I used two different programs to do so. For disks 1 and 2, I used Diamond Cut Audio Restorations Tools Notch Filter, with a filter width of 0.03 to 0.04 octaves, centered on ~8000 Hz, or wherever the whine happened to be.  I used Sound Forge Noise Reduction Plugin, centering on the whine, for disc 3. Why two different programs? I began work on this show about a month ago. I recently purchased the DCART program after hearing it being widely regarded as one of the best (affordable) programs out there for cleaning up audio. Let your ears judge which is best if you can tell the difference. I found the DCART notch filter to be the better tool for the job, while the SFNR plugin is flexible enough to be used as a notch filter.

I also realized long after I was into cleaning this show up that others have done so before me on this particular show. I'd be interested in any feedback as to how my show compares to other efforts! I used the narrowest filters I could without going bonkers. In some sections of the show the whine wandered quickly, forcing me to use lots of different filters over a small portion of the show.
