Taper Notes:

View Notes******************* Mixdown Notes *********************************

All tracks were converted to AIFF format from flac for smoother intigration into Soundtrack Professional. Each set was joined into one long file and then both sources were aligned and tracks were split then synced on an individual basis. 

The SBD was mixed at (-) 1.5db 
The AUD was mixed at (-) 9.5db - The AUD source was about 8db higher than the SBD source to begin with. Both Sources peaked around -10db before any eq was applied. 

The SBD source was then ran through some filtering and very minor equalization before the final mix eq. 

Both sources were then sent through the final equalization stage after mixdown to bring up the low end and smooth out the highs as well as add a little more depth and open up the sound stage a little more. I eq'd the entire show a close to flat as I could get then added a little more bottom end to suit my personal taste. I like to actually hear Phil's bass in the mix and it was unusually low during this run at the Nokia. 

The SBD source suffers from the same clicks as all the other free SBD's of this run. I ran some different filtering this time and thing I smoothed them out pretty good in this matrix. They do however show up during some points in the show. I still find it very enjoyable to listen to and feel personally this is an upgrade to the current circulating sources of this show. 

From 8:55 > 8:59 during Help > Slipknot the AUD source drops out completely. There was unfixable digital noise and static so I had to delete that portion of the AUD source. I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible and The dropout is not really distracting. 

Both sources were then mixed to 2 channel stereo AIFF. Tracks were split using Sound Studio and outputted as WAV 16/44100. xACT was used to align sector boundaries and then convert to FLAC
