Notes


All 3 versions had the following "problems" (IMO):
- French DJ talking during songs & also between songs.
- Lots of ticks & clicks
- Mains hum audible during quiet sections
- some noticeable edits & repeats
- No dynamics in volume

I have attempted to fix all these problems by:
- editing out the DJ (all except after D&C which was the only one that was harmless IMO)
- de-clicking (hopefully all of them ... but you never know!!)
- filtering out the 50Hz hum
- editing to make all breaks & transistions seemless
- adding some volume changes to try & help improve the dynamics (hopefully tastefully done??!!)

Other tweaks performed:
- centre the stereo image (by +0.4db on right channel)
- boost overall volume by +1dB
- add fade-in & -out
- add 1 sec silence for lead-in & lead-out
- slight adjustment of track positions
