This is a very nice soundboard (in terms of balance etc) of Franz Ferdinand 2004-12-11 Universal Theater LA. To me the frequency analysis looks too poor even for MP3...is this the inferior form of DAT whose exact name eludes me at the moment ?

Looks mp3 to me, possibly VBR averaging around 128kbps. If it was 32kHz DAT there'd be nothing above 16kHz. I think.

It's from a webcast, right? It was probably compressed for that.

Unfortunately there's absolutely no info with it at all (d/led from purelivegigs.com) but a crapola webcast capture with a bit of noise from the soundcard etc does seem like a good hypothesis.

Googling "franz webcast" turned up this (http://www.wjbq.com/rftp/nmc/news/7039.html) including this line,

"The whole concert will be shown live, complete and uncut in 56K, 100K and 300K in Windows Media Format."

Bingo. Thanks for the suggestions folks. It's a pity cause it's a great show.
