Gabi Novak ~ Peva Gabi Novak (1961)



I found two versions of this album,. One was a LP rip, the other a CD reissue rip. Both were poorly executed rendering the LP rip essentially useless because of severe clipping and other artifacts that were superimposed onto the audio files during the conversion process.The original masters from which the CD was recreated could have been in stereo, but the Sound Forge audio editor showed two identical waveforms for both channels. Again, excessive clipping along with DC offset was found on mp3 files which were encoded at 192kbps.

In order to make these audio files more listenable, the following "re-mastering" was done:
All audio files normalized at -16dB; removed DC offset Then the both channels were converted into a true centered MONO at 128 kbps. This essentially cut the file size in half and did not compromise the audio quality. Original dynamics and frequency curve were retained. For optimum listening you may need to tweak your EQ slightly.
