Comments from the original torrent (March 2007):
Had some fun with this one, a good raw source that I felt needed some touch-ups. I'd certainly recommend it for all, but it might be best for diehard 13 fans only, as the changes are subtle, more what a general mastering job should be.
As I said, raw, and I've been meaning to play around with one like this, adding a bit of spatial-simulator reverb to try to recreate some ambience of the venue. Not far off from blending with an AUD, just not as obvious. Mostly it gives the rawness a smoother edge and helps to warm up some of the brittle crunch (and eliminate the need for de-noising). Then the spectrum was tightened up as the highs were too bright, the lows were undefined and the mid's (especially Page) needed a slight boost.
I like it, I like it a lot.
Artwork, EAC log, MD5 Checksums and Fingerprints included.
Comments (added July 2008):
This was originally posted by Hottiemagnet in March 2007 (I think it was to DIME, though I can't find it in the archives at the moment); I personally found this to be a more enjoyable listen than the original "Snow Jobs" boot. Changes as outlined above give a warmer feel to the recording, similar to the post-production of a commercial release. Since even the original boot does not appear to be on the tracker right now, I thought this would be worth a spin (perhaps for the first time on DIME).
Many thanks to thir13en and Hottiemagnet for bringing this to the masses the first time around.
