Taper Notes:

View NotesI didn't fill in the setlist because I am not 100% sure of the names.  First seed to the Archive so please bear w/ me.

I didn't name the tracks because I am a bit unsure of the tracking in general, so I know as soon as it goes up for BT someone will fill it in.  Apologies, but I would rather have the people who are sure tell me - instead of guessing.

I included 3 tracks from the Chicago Afrobeat Project, I botched the first part of the first track as someone inadvertantly had bumped the UA-5 and it came unplugged.  There was a lot of dead air for the 1st 7 minutes.  I was dissapointed.  I really think these guys were excellent, and there were a couple of the regular players absent from this lineup. I know the bass player was standing in for sure. 

I am using MD5s for speed's sake, the fingerprints are in there too though. 

  I use izotope Ozone to polish the mix, even out the sides and generally sweeten a bit.  I make this disclaimer 
because I owe it to the purists, but I have had only positive feedback so far.  I rolled the bass off even more, -18db/oct at 54, and I bet there are some who will still think there is too much.  That and even out the sides a bit, I have never used this pattern before, I am still breaking in the mics.  I think it sounds pretty nice overall.
I used Adobe Audition 1F as the host and the downsample from 48 to 44.1, set with pre filter and at 999acc.
