Source Summary
SoundForge 8.0 REMIX of Sanjay Suchak Source: MBHO 603a/KA200N > Shure FP-24 > JB3 (see text document)

Buffalo, NY

--------------------------------------------------------

This presentation is based on Sanjay's MBHO Loge Source
(pf2005-12-03.mbho603.torrent).  We feel that source is notable for
capturing the live experience; stable soundstage; and remarkable
instrument nuance and detail.

This remix targets re-establishing >live sonics< from the stealth-mode
recording, using what we heard at T2,4,6,8 [8 rows under
the balcony, just right of center] as reference.

Key engineering decisions in any presentation are in part subjective judgement
calls.  We hope you like this tape - and also every other version of
this wonderful, magical show.

LINEAGE

Quoting from Sanjay's description:

     Recorded from the very front of the balcony in the center, hope you all like it.

ENGINEERING NOTES

Primary:

1) Source: Sanjay's MBHO Loge Source (pf2005-12-03.mbho603.torrent).

2) Toolset: Sony SoundForge 8.0; Sonalksis DQ-1 plug-in.  High
(quality 4) on all bitrate/sampling.

3) -> 24 bits at 44.1
4) -> 96KHz
5) Pan: -9.7% Left / +9.7% right

6) Sonalksis DQ1 dynamics processing
(settings are below in Appendix A)

7) -> 44.1
8) -> 16 bits (Triangular High-Pass with High-pass noise shaping)

Secondary:

d2t04: Rhythmic claps close to the mics were processed where they dominated
the power spectrum:  87 instances were manually marked as ~2ms regions;
compression (Sony Multiband Dynamics) centered 1.8KHz applied.

Enjoy!
