Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (FLAC > AIFF > Final Cut w/EQ > AIFF CD tracking via Audacity > FLAC16 via xACT w/meta-tagging) August 17, 2025
Taper Notes:
View NotesNotes: Ray Ackerman pretty much saved this matrix project. We tried mixing several other AUD sources as tests (before ultimately using Ray's tape), and they all had a subtle but pretty frequent slurry effect in the high end cymbals that was greatly accentuated when mixing. The matrix wasn't sounding crispy with these AUD sources. It appears something funky was going on with the acoustics and affecting the audience recordings - except for Ray's tape for some reason. We couldn't detect the faint "slurry effect" in his tape, and sure enough there was no high end friction when matrixing his source with the SBD. Very interesting. We were about to shelve this project after testing the first "incompatible" AUDs, but then Ray messaged us that same day out of the blue and mentioned that while his recording sounded "pretty darn good," Rob Eaton's U87 source was the one to pick (dewey72 suggested the Gordon Sharpless tape as well as an option). This prompted us to take a closer look at Ray's source anyhow, and we were surprised to discover that it didn't have the weird high end issues. While not our top choice sound-wise, we ended up really liking the subtle but significant effect it was having on the matrix - yet another example of a "lesser quality" AUD being more complementary and nicer when mixing. Thanks again, Ray! A very loud sound effect burst was reduced at the beginning of Ramble On Rose. Gordon Sharpless's Neumann U-87 source, #86942, transfer by David Minches (8/26/07), was used for the 2:52 SBD patch in Franklin's Tower. It also patches a 17-second cut in Ackerman's AUD towards the end of Eyes Of The World. A hiccup glitch in the SBD source during Drums was repaired. A 5-second cut in Space is now patched. Shortly after a patch edit (or two?) in a brief section during the NFA outro in Ackerman's AUD source (not noted in text file it appears) - with some unusual shiftiness that we were still able to stretch and shift back into alignment - there was also a 6-second cut in Ackerman's AUD that was patched with Sharpless's source at higher volume and with longer fades. This provided some more up-close NFA chants here at the end of the song as an interesting change in aural perspective. Light EQ was used for the SBD source only as needed. Most of set 2 had no EQ.

Taper Notes:
View NotesNo further lineage info available other than aud>?>CDR>EAC>SHN by [email protected] There were numerous cuts in the tape (between every song in the first set, plus tape flips in the second). These were crossfaded or, in a few cases, audience noise was flown in from another part of the show to replace the missing time where a smooth crossfade could not be accomplished due to lack of adequate material. The entire show was hard limited to 7 dB. No further alterations such as EQ or NR were made. There are a couple places, particularly in Drums wher ethe mics were overloaded by a large amount of bass from the PA. There are also a couple digital flaws (a buzz, kind of a lightsaber type sound) that could not be removed.
