Notes on the unedited source:

  • great sound, no close applause
  • several minor microphone impact flaws
  • audible tape noise throughout
  • noticeable change in sound quality after tape flip (brighter but more hiss; likely the gain level was decreased for the second tape side)

Editing:
Revsision A:

  • balanced: left channel -0.5 dB and a very slight phase correction
  • deleted 28 seconds of applause at end of concert
  • faded in and out on aplause at start and end of concert
  • repaired or minimized mic impact noises
  • repaired clicks and pops
  • gain normalized and retracked
    Revision B (Dec. 2020):
  • azimuth aligned, lightly de-reverbed, increased stereo width by 30%, retracked
