Godspeed You! Black Emperor - [2012-10-09 Live at Mohawk, Austin, TX #02] Mladic [20:50]

Much, much better than the previous recording from the tour. This isn't quite a soundboard-quality bootleg, but it's still vastly superior. I hear details in "Hope Drone" that I'd never noticed before (though it's possible they're just new details).

The Mars Volta - [Frances the Mute #03] L'Via L'Viaquez [11:48]

Playing around with Audition's declipper. It's much more sophisticated than Audacity's Clip Fix feature. It appears to recover clipped ranges based on interpolations from the surrounding frequencies, which results in much less distortion on the sound. It also appears to recover more range credibly. I recovered this album from DR6 to DR14 (note that I'm using a condensed version of the six-track album I made several years ago as my basis). It would probably have been something like DR11 with Audacity's version after I finished fixing its overcompensations.

If you have clipped recordings you want me to take a look at let me know.

[Ghost X]

Got bored of Rammstein about 5 years ago, but found myself listening to this song in recent days.
