Noise Reduction notes:
There was a terrible high-pitched buzz that ran from [start -> d1t08 08:23] and [d1t10 01:58 -> end]. I applied a notch filter in Cool Edit 2000 to these two passages to reduce the noise, the downside of which was a slight attenuation in the high-end such as cymbal/high-hat. I think this recording was a little heavy on the high-end anyway, so perhaps this wasn't a downside after all -- you be the judge: you can hear the notch filter kick in again at d1t10 01:58.
I also manually removed numerous pops, the exact locations of which are at the end of this info file.
