Notes DVD 2529; lineage: Matrix notes: This is a 50/50 mix of source A and B. Source A: iem > m1 -> MaxxBass > REQ 4band > L3 > FLAC, taper : benchboy, transfer : markp. remaster : hushypushy. Source B: Sound Professionals Premium Slimline Cardioids > Sony TCD-D8 > CDR, taper: unknown, transfer : unknown
Tech Notes Remaster notes for source A: remaster notes: This is the second of two nights. In comparison to the first, it's a poorer mix but a better transfer;
the sound is a bit cleaner on this one. Maynard's voice still brickwalls, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as the other one.
This show, unlike 8/13, had only minor problems. The beginning of Tuva cut in, so I gave it a gentle fade.
Disc two started with a couple random noises and then a Maynard speech;
luckily these noises were the same as the end of the last track on disc one so I made a seamless edit.
J-Card Comment Matrix notes: This is a 50/50 mix of source A and B below. No EQ or compression was used.
Source A already sounded nice, so I left it alone.
Source B had a few volume jumps, mostly in The Grudge. I did my best to smooth those out,
but its still noticeable at times. I edited out the "WOOO!!!" guy in several places on source B,
so those parts are source A only.
Track splits are a bit sketchy and the start of Forty Six & 2 cuts in a bit. I combined Parabol and Parabola,
as this made it easier to align the tracks, plus only the brief intro to Parabol is played at this show.
I left Tuva and (-) Ions as source A only, as source B only contributed crowd noise (and lots of it) on those tracks.
Whew, I think that's it...

enjoy!
