Lineage: audience, unknown generation > CD-R trade > cdparanoia > Audacity (tracking) > FLAC
**************************************************************************************************
Additional Repair Lineage: iZotope RX 4 advanced & Adobe Audition 3.0 > CD Wav > TLH (flac Level 8)
song information embedded with Stamp ID3 tag editor

a CD transfer in the lineage left its mark
Tracks 05 > 08 were damaged
thought I would help out
Not perfect and some noises can still be heard in random places but much less than what it had
would be better if someone had a copy without a CD in the lineage but until then this is an improvement.....

details:
repairs performed with iZotope RX4 advanced:
remove dc offset
crackle removal
Azimuth alignment
balance adjustments
Phase alignment
individual repairs for the louder noises
dropout repairs (patched from opposite channel)
remove microphone bumps

all tracks combined into one (Adobe)
removed gaps (Adobe)
Doubled the amplitude with a 3dB increase (Adobe)
new track splits created on sector boundaries (CD Wav)
Gradual 3dB boost peaking at 5KHz (iZotope)
3dB inverting noise reduction filter above 5KHz (iZotope)
plenty of hiss left to not give this any artifacts from the process

passing it on a little better than I got it..
