From one of the best live albums you've never heard of 🤣

Travel, the new album by The Necks. Very soothing as I await the probable non-delivery of an album that appears to have been sent to the wrong Royal Mail delivery office.
The link is to Bandcamp, but I' m actually listening via the Qobuz LMS plugin.

Thought I'd give this a try. Me like.

For others the Qobuz link is - ♪ Playing Signal by The Necks from Travel (Qobuz • 846kbps 16bit 44.1kHz FLC)

Thanks Robert I really do like this. CD ordered.

This must be one of the worst pressings in my possession. It is one of those US imports with the corner of the album sleeve cut off. Some of the tracks have a pervasive crackle which is extremely hard to remove from the waveform and would take an eternity anyway. Time will tell if it annoys me enough to delete it from my library.

♪ Playing Unevensong by Camel from Rain Dances (Vinyl) (1977) (Local • 766kbps VBR 16bit 44.1kHz FLC)

♪ Playing I Found Love by Lone Justice from Shelter (Vinyl) (1986) (Local • 938kbps VBR 16bit 44.1kHz FLC)

I hadn't realised or had forgotten that Steven Van Zandt wrote a few of the songs on this album.

Have you still got the WAV recording?
If so try loading it into VinulStudio and doing one of the "repair options" as opposed to doing it by hand in Audacity. It might surprise you just how much crackle it will get rid of.

Listening to it through speakers rather than headphones it didn't seem so bad. Only one quieter track is noticeably worse. If you want to see if Vinyl Studio can improve it I could PM you a Dropbox link. I can easily do another recording of that track.

Why not? Send me a linky with the WAV and a note of what track it is and I'll run it through VinylStudio and send you back a 16/44.1 FLAC

Does it need to be a WAV? I would normally save it as a 24/96 FLAC.
