Bootleg question

macfan 57 · #1 08-13-2004, 03:51 PM

Does anyone have the means to improve the sound quality of a bootleg recording? I have 2 rare shows from 1972 & 1974. Unfortunately, the sound quality is very poor, probably D quality. Is it possible to somehow re-master a recording or at the very least, increase the volume level to at least make it listenable?

Someone could re-EQ it, and increase the volume. However, if there's tons of noise on there, I'm not sure how much of that they could get rid of.
I'm guessing, best case scenario, that the D could maybe be turned into a C (just my opinion).

That's what I'm thinking too. The volume level on both of these shows is VERY low. In order to be able to hear it, I have to turn up the volume of my CD player as high as it goes & even then it's not exactly that easy to hear. By turning up the volume, that could get it up to a C, which would at least make it listenable.

One of the shows is a Heroes live concert. There are a whole bunch of songs that I've never heard live before("Nightwatch", "Bad Loser", "Coming Home" & a very unusual take on "I Loved Another Woman").

If there's anyone out there who could somehow increase the volume of these boots, please send me a private message.
