Comments: History: Analog master > CDR > rem > SHN I wasn't prepared to hear such a great recording with such full vocals and drums. This is an incredible recording for almost any era and a great performance on U2's last U.S. date of the War tour. Flaws and Idiosyncrasies The recording volume was very low from 0-1:40, especially in the first 20 seconds. The sound remains muffled, as if the taper didn't get the mics out from cover, before stabilizing at exactly two minutes. There was a cut at 4:05 between "Out Of Control" and "Twilight," which cut in suddenly during the chorus of "in the shadows"... Cut at 40:40 during the sustain of the last note on "The Electric Co." and cut back at 40:48 at end of Bono's intro to "I Fall Down". The right channel was fuller, with more vocals and drums. The entire sound stage was skewed to the right, as if all the PAs were on the taper's right side. Edits and Fixes 1. Balanced levels as best I could up to 1:40, working separately from 0 to 20 sec. and 21 to 1:40. However, while the sound level doesn't jump suddenly, it really only stabilizes and begins to "breathe" after two minutes. 2. In order to prevent the volume increase from raising the relative level of the analog hiss I used CoolEdit 2000 to do a light noise reduction up to the 1:40 mark only before working on the levels. 3. Closed gaps at 4:05 between "Out Of Control" and "Twilight" using zero crossings. 4. Closed gap between sustained last note of "The Electric Co." and sudden cut into "I Fall Down" intro at zero crossings with slight fade to 30% of audience cheering at end of "The Electric Co.". 5. Moved sound stage right to left by 30% to center vocals and drums. 6. Normalized both channels simultaneously to maximum peak. All processing except hiss reduction performed with SoundForge 5.0 Comments courtesy of David J. Toman. |
