Atlantic 82862-1 Tori Amos: Boys for Pele
Original new, vinyl.
Cleaned with isopropyl alcohol with a few drops of detergent added (to reduce static-cling). Rinsed with water and dried.
Lint brushed off before recording and record carefully inspected.

Recorded at 96000 Hz.

Light settings on ClickRepair to clean out the pops (DeClick set at 30). I did this since some parts of the album are very soft and needed a little help. Otherwise, it is very clean.

Amplified to -0.1 dB in Audacity 1.3.5-beta.

Tracks labeled and exported.

Saved as Signed 24 bit PCM WAVs. Converted to FLAC with SoundKonverter 0.3.8.

EVALUATION:
Minimal noise and pops. Tori's voice may sound "blown out" at some points of high volume. This is due to the nature of the record. It was recorded, mostly, inside a church in Ireland. I will never clip (so, don't attribute it to that). You can hear her actually tapping her foot to rhythm in some of the songs. This is not heard on the CD example. Very organic.raufoss50@what.cd
