SQ Scale (G+ VG- VG VG+ EX- EX EX+ SUP- SUP)

SQ Rating: EX-/VG+

Pink Floyd
The Dome
Brighton, England
June 28th 1972

Source: Return From The Dark Profound (shn)
Lineage: Shn > Wav > ACL11 > CDWave > Flac

IMO, the sound becomes a little more vibrant during the 1st set and tends to maintain that throughtout.

As you can see from the attached pic this source is untouched all the way up. The main problems with it was its speed was slow by more than 5%, two tape flips which had gaps of silence and repeated segments, and it was right channel weighted. A few other things were fixed as well. Notes are in the text file.

CD1
Speed corrected -5.1%
Repaired tape flip in track07; removed 13 second silent gap and repeated segments and rejoined seamlessly.
Increased gain in both channels. Left channel was lower and darker than right. Part of output increase in left channel was achieved by gain increase that varied from ~2-3db at ~1k-5k with parametric EQ.
Selectively reduced output at ~170hz by 1-2db.
Rolled off bass at 50hz.
Moderated some distortions near the end of STM and during transition to Breathe. Also moderated a particularly offensive mic noises near the end of breathe.

CD2
Speed corrected -5.1%
Increased gain in both channels. Left channel, at times, was lower and darker than right. Part of output increase in left channel was achieved by gain increase of ~2-3db from 800hz-5k with parametric EQ.
Reduced a particularly loud mic sounds before track04
Removed 35 second repeated audience segment after tape flip before encore.
Rolled off bass at 50hz on some tracks
Right channel dropped way off at 42:04 to 43:23; supplemented right channel with left channel until normal level was back.
