Outro [1:58] Taper: martin66 Location: floor, 30 - 40 meters from stage, dead center Source: Sound Professionals SP-CMC-8 (hypercardioid) -> SP-SPSB-8 (bass-roll off at 16 Hz) -> Edirol R-09 (24 bit / 48 kHz) Lineage: Edirol R-09 (24 bit / 48 kHz) -> USB transfer -> wav -> WaveLab 6 (level correction, normalizing and downsampling) -> wav (16 bit / 44.1 kHz) -> shntool (stripping file headers) -> wav -> EAC (V0.95 beta 4, fixing SBEs) -> wav -> shntool (zero padding at the beginning and end of discs) -> wav -> EAC (track splitting by cue sheet) -> wav -> FLAC frontend (V1.7.1 Etree edition) -> FLAC Transferred by: martin66 Notes: I might be a bit biased but this is one of the best performances from the entire reunion tour. Unfortunately, I must confess that I haven't yet had the time to listen to many of them. The sound was crystal clear and very well balanced. Considering the fact that such big stadium concerts often tend sound a bit hollow and bassy. There were two major jerks right behind me. The first one was splashing some water from a bottle he opened on my neck and back during WOTM. And his boyfriend was singing extremely loud and wrong all of the time. In the middle of DSSCTM you can hear me turning around and telling him to shut up. I would have done this even I was not recording the show. He was completely annoying. There is also a cut after 'Roxanne' due to technical reasons. Just a couple of seconds of audience cheering are missing. Here is a more detailed description of the processing I did: - WaveLab 6 (V6.01) has been used if not noted otherwise - Level correction of only the first file with audio montage: overall montage gain set to +6.00 dB plus +6.00 dB -> 0:00 to 2:04 +1.90 dB -> 2:10 -6.00 dB -> 2:23 until end - Normalizing and sample rate conversion from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz: Peak Master (Input Gain = +3.00 dB, Out Ceiling = -0.05 dB, Softness = 0) > Crystal Resampler plug-in (quality = ultra) plus Apogee UV22 HR Dithering plug-in (output bit resolution = 16 bits, dither noise type = low, autoblack = off) > rendering to 16/44.1 wave file - Stripping file headers with shntool down to canonical size - Fixing sector boundary errors in files (zero padding 235 samples at the end) using EAC (V0.95 beta 4) - Zero padding at the beginning and end of discs (1 s = 75 blocks = 44'100 samples) with shntool - Track splitting by cue sheet using EAC - Converting to FLAC format with FLAC frontend (V1.7.1 Etree edition) Well, that's it! Enjoy the recording and the show! ********************************************************************* * Terms of use: * * - Feel free to share or trade this recording with whomever you * * like, but don't be a jerk and seed it immediately on another * * tracker. * * - Do neither re-shn/re-ape nor re-rip this recording from CD-R. * * If you want to share/trade it, keep this FLAC set as it is. * * - Do not remaster, matrix or create other kinds of digital screw * * ups.
