| Transfer Method/Noise Reduction: Fons CQ 30 tt, Sumiko MMT Tonearm, Shure M44-7 Cartridge, Expert Stylus 4.0 Truncated Elliptical Stylus, McCormack Micro Phono Drive, Rek-o-kut re-equalizer set to 300Hz Turnover/-5db Treble cut, 24bit/96khz AIF files captured on Alesis Masterlink HD/CD Recorder, FMS Audio ESP Interconnects. Speed: 76.59 RPM following Rek-o-kut guide and my own limited sense of pitch. Initial EQ via Alesis onboard 3 band parametric equalizer to reduce hiss and rumble:
I also used the Alesis on board Look ahead Peak Limiter to bring out the mid range while reducing moments of clipping and groove damage. Alesis Peak Limiter Settings: Threshold = -1.0 db; Output Level = -2 db; Release = 10 msec. Maybe next time I will try a more aggressive setting for greater impact. AIF files brought to PC for further editing with Click Repair 3.0.1, Denoise 1.0.7 & Goldwave Audio 5.52. Click Repair Settings: 30 de-click wavelet; 20 de-crackle wavelet -- applied in 2 separate passes. Denoise applied for further hiss reduction -- custom samples taken for noise profile from each file; corrections range from -8 to -12 db. Goldwave Audio Software: trim, fade in/out and a Static Band pass filter applied to reduce effects of clipping and/or groove damage. Default Voice hum & his profile used as a starting place and then modified to 60Hz, 6800Hz with a curve rating of 8. Band Pass Filtering applied in spots or to whole file which ever worked better.
