Processing included convert to 32 b.f. format, EQ (high end boost),
fades, resample to 44.1, Waves L2 (0 gain, -.2 ceiling) with dither
to 16 bit.
*This track was performed acoustically by Al and Susan in the
audience, off-mic, Al facing away from me, Susan towards
me. This required me to greatly increase the gain on the UA-5,
and quite a bit of ventilation noise can heard, and even the music
from the lounge (a different area in the venue). There is no cut
before this, but I added a fade to silence over some of the applause
as they make their way from the stage to the floor to cover the clumsy
gain adjustments I made once I realized what was about to happen. The
resetting of the levels at the end of this number was accomplished very
quickly to avoid the clipping that would have resulted from the applause,
so the change is rather sudden there, but was not retouched in post.
Going out to Stiv tomorrow.
