[78-L] EQ ideas for transferring acoustic 78s?

[Martin Fisher]

I've used this for several years to great effect.  Great for notching out
multiband hum as well as a myriad of other applications.  No preset 78 EQ's
though.

Another program, this time freeware, "Equalizer" by Brian Davies does have
some preset curves for 78s and older LP formats but I can't vouch for its
accuracy.

- I've been transferring a pile of acoustic 78, mostly from 1905-1915,
- using
- GarageBand. GB has a 31-band graphic EQ plugin that I've been using to
- reduce surface noise and bring out the best sounding frequencies to my
- ears.
- When I get a good sounding curve I save it, and I've been finding that
- certain curves match with record companies - thus I have a Columbia EQ,
- a
- Victor EQ, and so on.
- Here's a screenshot of the EQ:

- Does anyone have tips for bringing the best out of records from this
- era?
- 
- thanks for any advice.
