Comments

Traded to me in the tapers original .wav files.

These I combined in to acts, and prepossessed into standard bit rate

I then ran a clipped reduction to remove volume distortion

Increased the treble, and removed some of the tape hiss.

However, I couldn't remove a slight buzzing noise, that can be heard

during the quieter moments, caused by feedback from the tapers battery box

Over all the show came out well, with mostly good clear audio throughout.
