# BigGiRL NOTES:

Like the recording of the 2nd night, Mario Bono's original recording of 
night 1 in Mexico came with a lot of near-by screams, claps & chat. 
Again I used the iZotope RX05 to clean up the master as good as I could.
The custom build “de-clap” still worked pretty well to remove a significant 
amount of audience hand clapping. And most of the loud screams could be 
either taken out, or else at least somewhat soothed.
The audience chat, however, proved more difficult to remove this time, so 
you'll find somewhat more present in this recording. 

I think the overall "base" quality of the recording is not as good as that 
of night 2, but, again, I have applied no equalization, no compression, nor 
any other effects – so basically this is just the cleaned master recording. 

And once more on behalf of Mario Bono and myself: still we hope you enjoy the result!
