NOTE: Disc 1 requires an 80-minute CD-R

Here's how the show was converted to 16/44.1 CD-DA audio from the
original 24/48 master source.  The methods used were specified by Dan
and performed by Caleb.  Each set was processed separately in Sound
Forge using the Waves DirectX plug-ins as follows:

o Waves Lineq Lowband "Remove DC Offset and Low Freq. Rumble"
o Waves L2 Ultramaximizer, bit depth 24, no dither, no noise shaping,
  Output -0.2 dB, Threshold -2.0 dB (Set I) and -3.9 dB (Set II),
  ARC enabled
o Resample to 44.1 kHz
o Waves L2 Ultramaximizer, bit depth 16, Dither Type 1, Ultra Noise
  Shaping, Output 0 dB, Threshold 0 dB, ARC enabled
o Save As > 16/44.1 WAV file

Tracking done with CD Wave, compressed using Shorten 3.5.1 (seekable)

Notes from Dan about the show:

Very cool place that Tribeca Blues Cafe is.  Intimate.  Unfortunately,
physical limitations presented by the stage dimensions, coupled with
the placement of many smoke-emitting candles placed on the stage,
caused my mics to be placed a little closer to the band (or drums at
least) than I would have liked, which resulted in a good 15 minutes of
fear and cringing when Kai sat down cross-legged right next to the
right mic and proceeded to wail away during his bass solo, with his
eyes closed most of the time... the headstock of his bass swinging
often and wildly, many times sweeping within microns of the right
microphone.  And while he played and played for what seemed like
forever, coming ever so close to bashing the mics for what seemed like
an eternity, he finally did whack the mic stand one time... not hard
enough to knock it over, and he didn't even seem to notice at
all... He was in the zone.  But the whole thing made for quite a tense
moment, and you can imagine the sigh of relief I had when he finally
stood up.  But anyway, I'm sure that somewhere on the recording during
a bass solo is going to be a nice thump.  Goes with the territory I
guess.  I thought the band was definitely on, though.  Hope you do
too.
