Tell you what. If you have a broadband connection, just upload the wave files to megaupload or something.
I discovered what the problem was. It was not your machine. Somehow when encoding to mp3, there was some kinda format fuckup. When I tried to convert from mp3 to wave using Sound Forge, it would not even open the mp3s. So I used an old version of Sonic Foundry Batch Converter, and that is what caused all the dropouts.
So what I did was use Reaper to convert, there were no dropouts, and I just burned the VH set to disc.
DAVE IS THE MOTHERFUCKING MAN!!!!
I just got done listening to it.
If you don't want to upload the waves, it is no big thing, but I would much rather have lossless if possible. Use FLAC if you can. That will compress the files for transfer without losing any quality.
Thanks for your efforts. I saw them exactly a week after this show, and what I heard tonight is what I remember from 32 years ago.
