stormdogI had to bump the record level down to digitize ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lisagems' (who may be on LJ again; yay!) Claude Bolling Trio record. Either jazz has a wider dynamic volume range, or the guy who mastered the record was really good. Or some of both. I just got finished with Pierre Bensusan's "Spices", which I quite enjoyed. This has been a fun education. Looking at the album info for the "Spices" CD, I see that one song on the LP is not on the CD and vis versa.
The database of a former employer of another friend of mine who worked for AllMusic has been a great help to know where to expect song breaks when searching through the raw WAV files to split them up.
I should get to bed after this. I have a big day tomorrow.
ETA:
The Bolling record was cut on the "CBS DisComputer System." Curious about what that was, I dug this up on Google. Here's an interesting discussion of now-obsolete audio mastering hardware/software in the '80s, if that's your thing.
