RECORDING/MASTERING NOTES:
This is u22utoo's recording. He requested this remaster.
He sent me the raw mono files which he recorded.
The following steps are what was done:
>Edited together the intro with the rest of the show. He had stopped recording and started again.
>Converted the mono file into a stereo file.
>Reduced the volume of the recording by 10db to have some room to work with.
>Added a slight reverb to the recording to give it a warmer more natural stereo feel.
>Applied a light noise reduction to help eliminate noise and some distortion.
>Boosted the treble a little.
>Normalized the final product to 98%
>Faded in & out.
I normally don't like to mess this much with a recording. But, the ususual nature of this recording needed this to be
done to make it enjoyable to listen to. I think it worked rather well. I wasn't able to eliminate all the distortion
present but it is now a much more pleasant recording. The quiet acoustic parts are amazing!!!
I will also be posting a remaster of his 11/5 show as well, at his request.
Lastly, Thank you to the taper, "u22utoo", for recording and having me do this for him. I have learned a LOT in the process!
Thank YOU!
Enjoy!
