Spank Thru [cuts out] Source: ------------------- SBD #1 - Quality: 8.5 soundboard → unknown Transferred by: Kris Sproul Transfer: ------------------- Nakamichi DR-8 → Echo Layla24 → Adobe Audition 2.0 → CD Wave 1.95.1 → FLAC frontend 1.7.1 Generation: ------------------- ANA(M) → ANA(4/5) → WAV [48kHz] → WAV [44.1kHz] → FLAC [Level 8] Notes: ------------------- Very pleased with how this came out. I started off by doing what I usually do with every show and it's just messing around with different features to try and see what can sound good from it. The "Mid/Side to Stereo" (which, FYI, works the exact same way the other way around, Stereo to Mid/Side), seemed to work almost perfectly with the left-channel audience/right-channel soundboard audio. While it worked spectacularly with the mid-to-high frequencies, the lower-end would be inverse, causing the bass guitar and crowd to sound off. To compensate for that, I duplicated the track and inverted the right channel to fix that. It works pretty well even for the guitar at times because it gives a laidback airy vibe before jumping back in. I EQ'd the sound to alleviate the cassette generation near the high-end. I also added in a little more bass to bring a little more kick to the music. No extra reverb was added, and no other extra element was added to take away from the magic of the show. I was going to attach AUD #1 to the end of the soundboard recording, but it's a different beast and I felt that that this vastly different sound was perfect as is. Enjoy. -KB
