Notes Recording and Mastering data:
Taped with a Sony WM D3 professional cassette recording walkman using it's original itty-bitty stereo condenser microphone mounted in my hat onto Fuji FR-II x pro 100 high bias (CrO2) cassettes using Dolby B NR for recording on a very rainy day.
Played into computer's SoundBlaster (16-bit) card using Denon DRM500 deck with azimuth adjusted to be in (semi) alignment with the master tape, bias set for normal tapes with Dolby off through a Sentrek analog EQ for warmth in the lows and air in the highs.
Some digital manipulation of the sound was then accomplished through the tasteful and thoroughly tested use of several plugins using Wavelab 4.0 (floating 32-bit processing) for a Digital ReMaster to be produced by me after about a month and a half of tweaking and listening tests done over a 2 month period in 2004. I was not convinced that the original tape transfer version truly represented the live sound I originally heard when I recorded the master tape live in concert. Careful use of further EQ, stereo expansion, manual level and balance corrections, denoising, compression, multiband compression, and final limiting compression has produced a version I can truly say sounds like what I heard that hot wet summer day
