View NotesTech Notes:
Taped DFC Balcony, mics aimed at stacks.  EQ applied in Soundforge: Parametric EQ High-End Shelf -8 db above 16K, parametric EQ -2.5 db @ 85 & 115 Hz at 1.1 octave width each, and then parametric EQ +2 db @ 600 Hz w/2.3 octave width.  Recording started a few seconds into Deal, so I patched a half a minute of audience noise and the first four bars from another LMA source, the balc, sp c4's(bass rolloff) recording, thanks.

General notes:  As of now there are two excellent sources of this show on the Archive, the Balcony sp C4 recording and the Neumann SKM150 OTS source.  I offer this recording as a compromise alternative.  I found the balcony recording to be full of rich mid-range detail but low on any real low bass.  The Neumann's had plenty of bottom end, but sounded a little muddy and (as noted) very chatty.  This hypercard old-style recording was a nice compromise in that it captured good detail across the whole audio spectrum from the quiet balcony.  Some relatively gentle eqalization revealed a startling amount of detail throughout, so that it is rich and punchy whilst also being crisp and clean.  Let me know what you think!  

This is an experiment: I have found the dense sonic mix of a P&F concert can overwhelm many microphones, unless they screen out the offending waveforms.  I was curious if hypercards could take a more accurate sample, which would then provide good information for the equaliser to work with.  It's certainly an interesting compromise.  In future, I think there's also a role for hypercards in a multi-mic or multi-channel mix...  By the way, I chose my eq settings to replicate what I would have liked to do to the sound on the night. ie. notch it down about 3 db between 50 and 150 Hz... and then I brightened up the top end of the bass to replicate Phil's tone more closely.

One more note:  the Jam out of Mississippi Half-Step became it's own track when I listened closely and found it had nothing to do with the song either side, instead it moves through several developing stages... a very interesting piece of music.

not really a good place to split up the second set, but the whole performance is seamless for burning to different media.  if annoyed with the split, why not grab the 24 bit fileset??  :)
