The Clash Mogador Theatre Paris 093081 RESTORED

[bazarboy75]

Last night from the Mogador week. Some said it was the best night !
Sound is from a "monoish" audience recording from very low generation but That's why the restoration work is so important, to recover a fine performance by the group that was buried on this tape.

Great sounding. Thanks!

The restoration worked pretty well on this one
it's a shame that the original recording was made with less-than-perfect equipment
but it does have the quality of existing!

Take me to the Mogador! Nice one, bb, many thanks!

when I start applying my sound treatments, I understand straight away whether they're going to be of any real benefit or not... Fortunately it happens from time to time.
In any case, having spent hours in the 90s damaging my ears listening to tapes with completely rotten sound, I'm sometimes happy to (finally) discover good concerts that were buried and were just waiting for a bit of new technology.

Thanks for another great remaster!

Out of curiosity, how do you do it?
Ai? EQ? Phaser?

I tried out different ways of doing things over the first 6/8 concerts and now I always proceed as follows
first I attack the stereo, often the gigs were recorded in mono but you can fake a bit of stereo now and I use a plugin that also attenuates the reverberation. I've used it a lot for japan's concerts.
then I apply a vitalizer effect which takes care of the high and low frequencies
then I work on the overall equalisation and apply multiband compression which I think works very well for the Clash sound
and at the very end I use a mastering plug-in from izotop to work on the stereo image, dynamic equalisation and a whole bunch of little enhancement plug-ins.

and at the same time I use restoration software which is sometimes very useful called rx also from izotop

I remastered this one a long time ago now. The first 6-7 tracks sounded good but the rest wasn't up to much. The version I have has two stray tracks on the end. One is the Futura track live from TV (I think) and a version of Safe European Home from a radio show.

I think it's on this concert that an alternate version has appeared in recent years. I'm not counting the poor radio version, I'm talking about another recording audience.
