"El Rey Theater”
Albuquerque, NM
April 8, 1992

Source: Soundboard recorded by Paul Languedoc, provided to Jeff Goldberg by Niel Ringstad via Page McConnell

Transfer: By Jeff Goldberg
Cassette deck: TASCAM 112RmkII w/ LA-112 balancing kit installed for XLR ports
Analog to digital conversion (ADC): Apogee converters @ 24-bit, 96 kHz & 192 kHz
CPU: 4.0 GHz Intel Core i7
RAM: 32 GB DDR3
Operating System: macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Digital Audio Workstation: Avid Pro Tools (2018.3)
Waveform Editing: Steinberg WaveLab Pro (9.5)
Restoration: iZotope RX 6 Post Production Suite 2
Mastering: iZotope Ozone 8 Advanced Mastering Suite (8.01)
Process: Like last round, the tapes were played back on a TASCAM 112RmkII (a pro-level, three-head deck with the heads freshly cleaned and demagnetized) using the balanced (+4 dBu) XLR outputs. The signal was sent into Apogee ADCs, and was recorded into Pro Tools at a bit depth of 24-bit and sample rates of either 96 kHz or 192 kHz, depending on the tape (more on this shortly.)
The 4/8/92 show had some unfortunate tape damage on the tapes, which I’m anecdotally guessing was caused by a car cassette player’s auto-reverse feature, based on the damage I saw. This caused a high-pitched crackling effect on several tracks, which I managed to eradicate as best as I could without affecting the sound quality or frequency range. In the case of the damaged 4/8/92 tapes, however, I ended up re-recording the tapes using a doubled sample rate of 192 kHz in order to have more bandwidth with which to work in order to fix the problem.

Post Transfer Processing:
Each file was cleaned-up using RX 6 to not only remove the crackling, but also to get rid of any low-frequency hum (and harmonic intervals thereof) that had made it onto the cassettes via either the recording equipment itself or the electricity configuration of the venue at the time of the recordings. Any tape hiss or noise that had existed above around 3000 Hz (in order to preserve high-end frequencies from sonic elements such as cymbals and microphone sibilance) was then cleared-out.

From there, the waveforms were edited, separated (or combined in some cases) by track within WaveLab, and saved as individual files:
Mastering was completed in Ozone 8 in order to ensure consistent equalizations:
Loudness and normalization was also maximized in order to not only meet LUFS streaming standards, but also have enough volume on various forms of media:
The files were finally dithered down to 16-bit (to make them CD-compatible).

Notes
1 Uncle Pen contains a cut due to a tape-flip
2 David Bowie contains  How High The Moon , R  andom Laugh ,  Simpsons ,  Oom Pa Pa , and  Aw Fuck!  signals
3 Weekapaug Groove contains a cut at around 1:00 due to a tape-flip
4 with bagpipes solo by Fishman
These tapes had physical damage to the actual magnetic material, which caused a high-frequency crackle on several songs. The crackle has been removed as best as possible without jeopardizing the integrity of the sound.
Before Sleeping Monkey, Trey says “Thank you. Well, I definitely see a lot of people who’ve seen us before, and people from the East Coast here tonight... and all these people. So when I say that this is definitely one of my favorite gigs of the whole tour, you’ll know that I don’t say that... it’s not the kind of thing I say every night, and I definitely mean it. This is a great gig; I really like it."
