Notes: Not my first (re)mastering for personal use but the first I'm attempting to share with the world. It's a great show from the short Arising! Club tour in 1999. 

The SBD source is lossy - it's the only SBD source I'm aware of in circulation. I tried to master the SBD source a handful of times over the years and could never get it done well enough.  I only just stumbled upon the AUD source and decided to try my first matrix mix.  I put a lot of effort into this - it is a true MIX of the two sources and not just one laid on top of the other, which wasn't possible. For one, The SBD source has dropouts and the AUD source has much of the between song banter cut out.  In addition the two sources seem to run at slightly different speeds so that it required constant nudging and small edits as it went along.  The SBD source is very dry and drum heavy and the audience source is pretty distorted but amazingly the two worked pretty well together.

After EQ, Compressing, Limiting, etc. each source, much of my effort went into alignment and filling the gaps (usually missing between song banter).  I tried to blend the SBD audience chatter with the AUD audience chatter, and lowered the audience chatter during quieter sections - since there was a ton of in your face screaming, howling, and singing along.  

I'm very proud of this and I really enjoy listening to it and I hope you do too.
