Remastered by Chris deCastro (cdecastr@usc.edu) using the following process in CoolEdit Pro:
Step One: I amplified the whole thing by the following settings: Left channel: 50%, Right Channel: 25%. This is because Marc's guitar is in the left on the original recording, and most of the keyboards are on the right.
Step Two: I copied the contents of the left channel to the clipboard, then mix-pasted them over the contents of the right channel, so that Marc's guitar would be split down the middle rather than hard-panned. This way the guitar is more audible.
Step Three: I ran a filter on both channels that boosted the range of 300-7000 Hertz (about the range of a guitar) by 4 db, and took a 1 db notch out of the range from 7000 Hertz on upwards in order to compensate for the shift in emphasis away from the bass end caused by the mid boost. This step significantly brought the guitar up in the mix.
Step Four: I then normalized each channel seperately to 99%, so that the channels are equally balanced in volume. And voila... I now have a copy of this amazing show with audible guitar playing! (A novel idea!)
Remastering was done because on the original copy, Marc's guitar is almost inaudible at times, and the keyboards are deafeningly loud.
