Hi, first post here.
Is there a reason the high quality mp3s of the AFRTS CBSRMT episodes is not served here? They sound fabulous, real high fidelity you don't get from the AM tape recordings. |

Welcome to the forum.
The only reason for not posting the AFRTS set is that I don't have them. I only have the radio recordings. I would love to have a complete set of AFRTS if I could find them.

Sorry Edwin. I thought I alread uploaded those. It looks like I didn't. I'm uploading them now. Thanks for sending those in. My memory is not what it used to be.
Club Members: Edwin donated 78 high quality CBSRMT shows that are of a way higher quality than the recordings made from the radio. Give them a listen.

OK, great.
I downloaded all the shows and noticed two things: one, there were a lot of clicks and pops from the vinyl; two, there was tons of subsonic rumble which made my woofer cones flutter quite violently.
I have denoise/derumble and clickrepair (www.clickrepair.net) and ran all the AFRTS shows through both. Now, some comments: It is generally considered very bad to take lossy files (mp3s) and convert them back to mp3s; however, I argue that what I did sounds better than what we started with. I did this figuring original wav files were not available, and that the original vinyl was also not available (if I am wrong let me know, I have a lot of experience with digitizing vinyl). All processing was 25 (yes 25) bit floating point. I also re-encoded as mono files (using lame), but kept it at 128 kbps, thus doubling the amount of bandwidth (the original shows are all in mono on the LPs, yet were encoded in stereo, basically the equivalent of 64 kbps mono). There are no nasty artifacts as far as I can tell, and the files are just about the same size.
If there is interest in this, I will make a torrent file and put it somewhere like the pirate bay and let anyone download the shows. These will be my go-to shows for sure. I have lots of bandwidth. In fact I'll put up a sample show and let folks compare to the originals. I'll do this tomorrow. |

That sounds like a good idea. You can post the address of the torrent file here if you want. Or you can just upload them to our ftp server if you want to share them with the other club members. Some of our club members may not be familar with torrent software.

Thanks a lot! The files have been moved to the CBSRMT directory. They sound great.
