    • I use a paid for copy of NCH Wavepad, which is pretty good, not great. It has a several band customizable EQ to target specific frequencies and custom bandwidths, which can be a powerful tool. Be careful, because exporting as a compressed format can reintroduce noise.

    • So I got all 70 files, renamed them so they sort properly in a folder on your file system (they were all over the map), and I removed the noise.  End result sounds great.  Here's the unprocessed version of his first lecture.  Unfortunately the processed file exceeds CathInfo forum limitations by just a bit, so I'll have to send it to Matthew directly.

    • OK, so ... I couldn't even send it to Matthew by e-mail, so I converted it into a "video" and put it up on my Youtube.  Quality on these is great.

    What I'd like to do is to get a bunch of great pictures of Bishop Williamson and then put a picture slide-show in as the video layer of these lectures.  So that's 1 down, with many dozens left to go.

    Much better sounding, thank you for taking the time to do this, very appreciated.

    Great collection ... I was hoping to find something like this.

    But ... how do you download these?
    Select "VBR MP3" and then download the ones you want

    Yeah, it's a thousand times better ... removes all the tape noise.  Now, it also makes it hard to hear the occasional student interjecting or asking a question, but that's OK.

    It takes me back to the classes at the seminary, and this way other people can get a little taste of what it was like to have been taught by His Excellency.

    • These are great!  I know what I’ll be listening to on my next long drive.  
    If I had any expertise whatsoever with technology, I’d love to help put these in order, clarify the sound, etc. 

    I AM wondering if somehow, maybe using AI if they could be converted to printed, book form?  Are there still existing worksheets, diagrams, graphic organizers, chalkboard/white board notes, even exams, quizzes and so forth to go with them?  Anyone out there proficient at shorthand or a court stenographer who could write them down?  

    Older SSPX priests could take refresher courses and the younger priests could do a comparison.

    Thank you.  Yes, they're incredible, and when I started listening to them (with the massive distortion even), it was a huge nostalgic trip down memory lane and I realized that if I put them in order and clean up the audio (we have the technology now that we did not have in the 1990s), many thousands could experience what class with Bishop Williamson would be like.  It's a very specific topic, but you hear a LOT of Bishop Williamson when he goes off on even slight tangents into the various topics he's always emphasized.

    So I can do the cleanup with software and I already put them in order, if anyone has expertise, what I'd like to do is to put together a really nice slide-show of pictures of Bishop Williamson.  Right now I just converted it to black screen, and the only reason I did that is because Youtube won't let you upload mp3 (and other audio-only) files, and the files are like 30MB each (not conducive to sharing).  But perhaps I could shrink the mp3 files (without losing too much quality) and/or put together some slide shows with pictures of Bishop Williamson (perhaps in chronological order) ... or if someone has the expertise to do that and a great collection of pictures, maybe they could help.

    As I said, my digital ability is non-existent. What’s an mp3 and files like 30MB?  I’d really LOVE (not L-U-V !) to have it in book (literal) form! “Nithe? No, Nice!)

    • Davinci Resolve has a built-in audio suite called Fairlight that offers some robust features, especially for cleaning up dialogue and restoration. Some are only available in the paid studio version, but the free version gets better every release.

    These are ranging from about 32MB to 47MB depending on lenght I think or how much noise is being reemoved, not quite sure.
