NoteMatrix of 2 different audience recordings from the same show.

Lineage (Both recordings):
1. gen. Tape > Technics Rs-bx501 > Zoom H2N (24/96) Flac

Processing:
Flac files of 2 recordings (96 kHz/24 bit) -> Switch Sound File Converter Plus (downsample 96/24 > 48/24) > Magix Music Cleaning Lab (Remaster 48/24)
> Switch Sound File Converter Plus (downsample 48/24 > 44/16) > TLH (Fix SBEs) > BowieStation

A previous matrix consisting of the 2 different recordings (source HG 29 by steve23yh) was uploaded to MWP on 21-12-2014 and to Bowiestation on 25-05-2015.

This matrix here is superior to the previous one as the original files came from the master tapes and were digitized in 96 kHz/24 bit.
The sound in comparison is clearer and has less distortion.

Concerning the making of the matrix the processing was more or less the same as with the previous matrix:

Both recordings were incomplete as both had several cuts and have quite distinctive differences in sound. As a result of the matrix
the sound is very balanced between frequencies.
To adapt the single bits from either one or the other tape to the overall sound some EQ was necessary. Also I lifted the bass and treble of the combination a bit.

As always the biggest challenge was the differences in speed of both tapes. As usual with such old recordings (and gens) the speed was inconsistent within each track.
So it took quite a while to fix this. I was orientating the speed towards version 2.
Version 1 has some problems with higher levels in sound and so also the matrix is suffering from this a bit.
The concert as such for me sounds very committed. David is in very good mood and after the band introduction he states: "...you are the audience ....and I am David Bowie"
