Home Alone

This is some ‘home alone’ time by a girl called Kath who stayed at my house. She was an early 20s professional with a nice figure and great legs. The recording is from an old cassette and not that easy to hear in it’s original form. In spite of the age I do remember the circumstances well. You can date it exactly from the irritating TV running in the background.
That night I was doing some sound for a band who were playing late and had to collect a member who was working late. He wasn’t finished, so I popped home to wait and heard Kath in her room. I decided to leave a cassette in recording mode when I left and also to let her know I would be out. I knocked on the door of her room and after being invited in, said I wouldn’t be back until late. I also told her I might be bringing a bit of gear in, so not to worry if she heard sounds. She was laid face down on her bed, with her head towards the foot and reading a newspaper. She said thanks and I left, but set the recorder going before I did.
When I first listened to the recording I wasn’t hopeful and there was nothing at first, but then I started to think she might be ‘enjoying’ her own company. It’s just over 19 mins into the recording before there’s no doubt, so I’ve produced a part of the recording from 10 mins after I left, until after she finished her little spell of pleasure. The reason I have done this is that I’m not sure when she does start to indulge.
The bit I’ll post links for in a short while is 15 mins long and starts like much of the first part of the whole recording, as initially she sounds to be eating something out of a bag. I’ll leave it to your judgement/imagination to decide when the first hints of action are, if you bother to download the whole thing. For me it could be as early as 2.12, but I’m not sure at all. The final moment of ecstacy seems to come at 13.10 if I’m right!
The attachments will give you an idea and are from 9.00 mins to cover the main bits. You decide if it’s worth bothering to download the 15 min clip. 01 is from the original recording. 02 is my attempt to enhance it, but I’m not sure it’s worked. 03 is the 02 version plus an attempt to reduce the impact of the TV and I’m not sure if it helps or not. Any opinions on the matter would be welcome.

Wow, this is absolute gold!!!
Version 2 is a good restoration job to my ears.
In version 3, sounds like you've got something automating a high mids boost each time there's audio coming from her to try and emphasise that over the noise of the tv? Personally, I find that fluctuation coming and going more distracting than the tv, but there are points where it does seem to bring out a little more detail in the action itself, so might be worth keeping those accentuated frequencies there the whole time. It'd be a fine line between adding something and making the file a bit too rowdy/tiring to listen to, but worth exploring I think.
Geeky critique of treatment aside, congratulations are definitely in order, this is what I can only describe as "hella good shiz"

Thanks for your comments and the opinion on the different versions. You're assumption is pretty accurate for much of the tape and I think I agree with you that it's hard to decide if it's worth it. I find it very hard to be objective after working with cans on and re-listening to things time and time again.
I did in fact go back and start the last process a few times, adjusting the settings for each time. I was about half way through the final V3 when I decided it would probably be best not to boost anything at all, but I couldn't be bothered to go back again though, so finished and posted it anyway.
Some of the fluctuations you mention are because I tried to reduce the volume of certain TV frequencies. I think it helped somewhat with music, applause and laughter, but it's too time consuming for most dialogue, so I ended up processing blocks and that's what I think causes the problem.
Don't apologise for the geeky stuff, as in the end it's all about sex and the sounds we love. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could press a button and be just left with only the sounds associated with sex? I say associated, as I find the lead in interesting, along with movement against materials, etc. It all adds to the picture that's created in the imagination.
I have got a little bit more cassette stuff I think and then there's a bit more stuff on minidisk, dat and VHS. Before I do anything with those though, I want to try and get an audio card with optical inputs working. On the subject of other stuff I do have a recording taken from an early mobile phone (before digital) via a scanner. It's not awfully clear to say the least, but It's a girl with a vibe and her bf on the other end I think. Is it appropriate to post that and if so, which category would it go in?
All my recordings date to quite some time ago and I'm racking my brain to think of new opportunities. One possibility might be a caravan holiday later this year, but I don't know how well sound travels through the windows/walls of caravans and how close I would have to be. I don't feel like taking any big risks.

Yes and no. On the one hand, scanning through hours of footage never knowing when something worth hearing might appear is kinda fun, and my favourite part of the hobby is that "GOTCHA" adrenaline rush when you realise that you're on to something. Having said that, a one button solution would be bloody handy, because then I'd actually get around to posting all the stuff I've got backlogged. Your motivation is admirable man.

I'd be fascinated to hear that one - mobile scanners were a bit before my time. Hmmm, category placement is tricky in that scenario. When in doubt, if you accidentally overheard something from a remote location, probably one for the neighbor sex section I guess.

Deliboy88's post just reminded me of something. Emmpet8, you only need to zip up files if they're so big that they can't be posted without splitting. When it comes to mp3, zipping hardly shaves anything off the file size anyways, since the format is already heavily compressed. If you've got a spare couple of mins, it'd be worth editing the original post and upping the unzipped mp3s so that everyone can get to the good stuff. If you're pushed for time, shout and I'll do it (with the files still being credited to you in the archives of course!)

What a twerp I've been, so apologies to all who were having problems unzipping them and thanks to sc0tt-uk for pointing out the error of my ways. Thanks also for offering to unzip them. On that subject, please feel free to correct any mistakes, or improve things with anything I post and there's no need to ask, but I do appreciate the consideration.
If it also helps, I'm willing to create Hotfile links as mp3s. Just let me know. I'm also happy if anyone wants to create links for other file hosting services. Again, there's no need to ask.
Regarding the scanner, I was at a friend's place after the pub and he produced one. It was hilarious listening in and I had to have one. I actually recorded quite a few sex related things from it, but don't know where they are. One was even a guy talking in some detail to his gf about how it felt for her having sex with his best friend, who was rather well endowed apparently. It takes all sorts
! The scanner was also great for searching after recording on minidisk. That recognised each new connection as a new track, so you could flick on if a track was rubbish.
By the way my 'one click' dream wasn't a suggestion to replace searching through stuff. it was only for stuff that had been found. Like sc0tt-uk, I love that 'gotcha' moment and even listen again to stuff in the hope I find something I originally missed. Only yesterday I discovered what sounded like a solo orgasmic moment very near the start of a recording. It's so short I don't think it's worth posting and it's also frustrating, as there might be another tape with earlier bits on, but I haven't come across it.

Thanks for the service of reuploading, emmpet8. Just one more thought on file size: I think for this kind of recordings, 128kbs mp3 is good enough for the final versions. Scott?

Not a problem, I'll do that in future. I'll also leave leave any linked to file hosting services at a higher level, in case anyone wants to try anything with them. Less compression is an old habit from photography and video work.
