Guelph - River Run Centre - February 7th

I made a recording of the show, however it's in one long file (1.5 hours). I haven't listened to it myself and can't verify the sound quality.

To be honest, I just don't have the time, nor real knowledge, to fix this thing up (ie. split songs, cut wait between encore, get rid access noise, etc.), that is, if it's even worth it in the first place. It could sound like trash, especially since I had to move half way through the set.

So I'm offering to whomever is interested to give it a listen, see if it's worth while and to go ahead and do whatever needs to be done. If that person is you, send me a PM with an email address and I'll send you the file. I don't want to just send this to everyone, but only to someone that will fix it up if it's worthwhile.

Cheers!

Hi, I can't PM you because apparently I "haven't participated enough".
I would like to do this for everyone, I have a pro-tools rig in my project studio and a diploma from Recording Arts Canada, so I am capable of sweetening the recording as much as the original will allow.
Please send me the file: darcywstephens AT gmail DOT com and I will work on it

Thanks for the reply, I've sent you an email with the file to download.

I have a feeling it's not worth salvaging, but I'll let you decided.
Once it's finished please feel free to upload it here.
If it's not worth it, if you could let us all know that would be great as well.

Thank you for giving this a go.
Cheers!

Looks like DirtRock is the right person for the job.

I listened to the file and unfortunately it is completely distorted, even the between-song banter is barely understandable. it is kinda neat to get an idea of hayden's tunes sounding really grungy and distorted, reminds me of Eric's Trip. But anyway, nothing can be done to help it unfortunately.
If anybody has any alright bootlegs, meaning "decent clarity with minimal distortion" i'd be happy to work on it

[mfgeorge]

Yeah, I'm not surprised, as I was really disappointed of the show myself. I've seen Hayden about 8 times and this was by far the worst sound I've ever heard.
Sounded like he was mumbling the entire time. I felt kinda ripped off for the $30 price point.

Sorry about that, DirtRock. I've been meaning to fix this. I've fixed it now so you shouldn't run into this problem in the future. Still some bumps to iron out on the new forum software.
