Weird. You mean companding artifacts?

No, I mean noise reduction artifacts. Someone took too great care to clean'm
up with too little skill and not enough practice and an unsuitable or
maladjusted tool. empty3 encoding redudes then and thereby improves overall
listenability, even if not recreating the treble that was the on the
shellack. It was however 5 CD's at the price of one so solving the worst
issues by letting empty3 discard 80 percent does not come across as
unreasonable .... O;-) ... also, they didn't break the music.

Kind regards
