This is a matrix recording using two sources, a soundboard/PA from droncit's tape collection,
obtained in the early 1970s via a trade, and an audience recording (SHNID 00073)
The matrix developed by dusborne and droncit. Contacts: droncit@yahoo.com or ??
March 6, 2013

Sources:
Sbd Reel: TASCAM 22-2 modified for flat transfer.
Reel-> Tascam 22-2 -> Tascam MKII DR-07 (24-bit, 96kHz) -
DC8 Forensics for editing and modification

Audience:
flac encoded & tagged version of shnid: 00073
Reel>PCM>Dat>Tascam DA20>Audio Magic Presto>Prodif Plus>Soundforge>cdwav>shn
comment from original audience:
This is not a sbd. It was made with a stereo sony mic on the front of the stage in front of
the keyboards...
That is why TC is front and center and the vocals are low in the mix.

notes:
  • For the sbd reel, we added harmonics, minor eq adjustment, and used light noise reduction.
  • For the audience files we used the Reel as a source and a spectral difference filter to
match the overall sound of the audience to the reel.
- The opening notes to cryptical sound like there are digital artifacts, but that's the way
it sounds on the straight transfer.
- We think sbd is actually a PA tape, not a soundboard as it appears to be mono. We modified
it to align better with the l-r distribution on the audience tape.
- For the audience files we used the Reel as a source and a spectral difference filter to
match the overall sound of the audience to the reel.
- The Introduction is noticeably louder than it is on the audience tape so that it can be
heard better. Because it comes from the audience tape, the sound is muffled and boomy,
but it's a fun part of the show so we included it this way.
- Final edits to the PA and MTX files were done separately, so they do not match exactly.
