A Proposal: Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall

[AllenLowe]

Many people have complained about Phil Schaap's lack of de-crackling, de-clicking, de-noising etc in regard to the Goodman at Carnegie Hall. If there is interest I will pick up the CD and take, say, a five-minute noisy passage, do a little work on it (through CEDAR and digital EQ) - and offer it up as a comparison. No charge, maybe a little help with postage and CDR costs (I figure $2.00 each which includes disc/postage/mailers) - let me know if anyone is interested - I thought it might be fun, and I enjoy fixing up old recordings.

I found that somewhat disconcerting but not surprising because after listening to him for awhile I know that is his philosophy, believing that in removing the pops, crackles, etc. you lose something of the music.
