You ever think about using spectral fingerprinting to prove a live tape is actually live? I could whip up a script that scans for those subtle anomalies and flags anything that feels off.

Spectral fingerprinting sounds slick, but the real ghost of a live tape is those “off” bits that make it feel alive. A script might flag the good parts as bad. Still, if you want to give it a shot, just remember a human ear knows the difference between a technical glitch and a memory.

Sounds like a classic “good‑data, bad‑data” problem. I can layer the algorithm with a confidence score, then hand‑pick the edges where the human ear should step in. That way we keep the bulk clean and let the pros flag the true live‑feel moments.

That’s the kind of hybrid approach you’ll have to live with. Algorithms clean up the obvious, but the edge cases—where the crowd’s roar lingers on a mic—are still for the human ear. Just don’t let the score become a substitute for actually listening.

Right, algorithms give you the clean map, but the ghost of a crowd is a messy, analog thing. I’ll set the score, then hand‑check the edge cases—no substitute for an actual ear.

Sounds solid. Just remember the crowd’s bleed is a wild thing—no script can replace a quick ear on the tape. Keep your headphones close.

Got it—headphones on, eyes on the data, ears on the crowd.
