Mixed/Created by: birdman
NOTE (by birdman, distributed with .flac files): Rather than just paste the first 8 songs onto the BBC show, I thought I'd build a complete mix of all three sources. This allows the mix to have a similar sound throughout, making it less of a cut and paste job. The BBC source was also fairly sterile - adding the AUD sources overtop livens it up ;-) The result is a pretty choice show I think, certainly worth a grab. Here's what was done to each of the three recordings...
Wilatw's
source:
-
Heavy EQ to make it sound more like the top end of the BBC show.
-
Amplify and add some missing low end and vocals.
Martinick's
source:
-
Time adjust to match first source.
-
fix about 200 pops and glitches from a bad microphone. By hand, each one.
BBC
Source:
-
Time adjust to match first source.
The
mix was able to:
-
Remove the BBC announcer
-
Work around several unfixable glitches in Martinick's source, particularly
in the intros to songs.
-
For the most part, unless working around a glitch or an announcer, the
mix is 33% of each source. - The first 8 tracks are 50% of the two AUD
sources.
NOTE: A top-shelf bootleg created by a guy who has demonstrated an ability to produce high quality blends of audience and soundboard recordings. Birdman aldo made several matrix recordings during the Elevation Tour.
The overall sound on this recording is very dynamic, benefitting from the clarity and power of the soundboard recording as well as the live feel of the audience recordings. As you can see by reading the above notes, birdman had to perform a lot of minor edits to get the recordings to mesh correctly. The end result is one of the best recordings from the Vertigo Tour to date. Even the first eight tracks, which are simply two audience recordings mixed together (no soundboard) are far superior to their individual parts, as birdman's remastering really brings them to life.
