Taper Notes:
View NotesHere's how the show was converted to 16/44.1 CD-DA audio from the original 24/48 master source. The methods used were specified by Dan and performed by Caleb. Each set was processed separately in Sound Forge using the Waves DirectX plug-ins as follows: o Waves Lineq Lowband "Remove DC Offset and Low Freq. Rumble" o Waves L2 Ultramaximizer, bit depth 24, no dither, no noise shaping, Output -0.2 dB, Threshold -2.0 dB (Set I) and -3.9 dB (Set II), ARC enabled o Resample to 44.1 kHz o Waves L2 Ultramaximizer, bit depth 16, Dither Type 1, Ultra Noise Shaping, Output 0 dB, Threshold 0 dB, ARC enabled o Save As > 16/44.1 WAV file Tracking done with CD Wave, compressed using Shorten 3.5.1 (seekable) Notes from Dan about the show: Very cool place that Tribeca Blues Cafe is. Intimate. Unfortunately, physical limitations presented by the stage dimensions, coupled with the placement of many smoke-emitting candles placed on the stage, caused my mics to be placed a little closer to the band (or drums at least) than I would have liked, which resulted in a good 15 minutes of fear and cringing when Kai sat down cross-legged right next to the right mic and proceeded to wail away during his bass solo, with his eyes closed most of the time... the headstock of his bass swinging often and wildly, many times sweeping within microns of the right microphone. And while he played and played for what seemed like forever, coming ever so close to bashing the mics for what seemed like an eternity, he finally did whack the mic stand one time... not hard enough to knock it over, and he didn't even seem to notice at all... He was in the zone. But the whole thing made for quite a tense moment, and you can imagine the sigh of relief I had when he finally stood up. But anyway, I'm sure that somewhere on the recording during a bass solo is going to be a nice thump. Goes with the territory I guess. I thought the band was definitely on, though. Hope you do too.
