[Comments from the taper]: There
are glitches in disc 1, track 1 "Elevation" at the marks of 1:35 and 1:59. I was
having some technical difficulties with my rig early on, but it quickly settles
down after about 1:59. Also, I adjusted the recording levels quite a bit during
the first 3 minutes of Elevation (more than I probably should have). I tried to
normalize the levels on this master, but there may still be a couple small
volume changes present during the first 3-4 minutes of Elevation. Here is the
mastering that I performed at 32bit in Cool Edit 2000:
- Used software resampling to convert the sample type from 48kHz to 44.1kHz.
Resampling was performed at the highest accuracy setting (999) with the pre/post
filter selected to give the best possible conversion. Resampling time was
approximately 7 hours.
- Normalized levels across the whole show, increased levels to max, and balanced
left-to-right channel volume.
- Added Fade In/Out on each disc.
There's a guy in the audience who sings occasionally at the outside of the mic
range. He's only really audible in headphones or on a super hi-fi system, and
mostly only during the quieter parts of the first 35 minutes or so. When I
listened to the show on my stereo I couldn't really hear him much at all, but on
my surround sound pc speakers he's faintly audible. There are also very
infrequent (and small) pops in a few places in the recording. The pop at 1:11
into disc1-track1 is the worst I noticed, and I only heard maybe 6-10 in the
first 64 minutes. I checked the master DAT and the pops are on there too. I don't
how they got there, but maybe I had the levels a little too low while recording,
I'm not sure.
Comments [Justinscdrtrading.com]: This is a very nice recording of the first Elevation concert in Toronto. The music is very much in the foreground of this recording and both the instruments and vocals can be clearly heard. Audience noise is minimal with few, if any, individual voices being audible. This recording is an upgrade from "No More Singing Like A Girl For Me".
