Radio City Music Hall
New York, NY USA
REMASTERED VERSION
Digital Master Recording
Recorded from Front of Board Center
Orchestra Row PP, Seat 509
DPA 4021's > Marantz PMD-660 (Oade BCM) > 16bit 44.1 .wav >
Soundforge (level boosts and balance, softening and some removal
of audience noise, EQ, set fades) > CDWave 1.95 (tracking) > Flac
Frontend (level 7, align sector boundaries) > flac
The original flac files of this concert were uploaded to dimeadozen within
3 hours of the end of the concert. In the rush to uplaod, no post-production
work was done on the original wav file, which was a mistake.
For the remaster, I extracted the original master wav file from its archive disc
(no errors). In Soundforge 8.0, I boosted and balanced the levels, which were
simply too low on the master. I smoothed, softened, or removed dozens of
instances of crowd noise--close clapping, shouts, screams, and the like.
Additionally, I equalized by boosting the highs, which were muffled either in
the PA system, or because of the mesh hat where the DPA mics were mounted.
The results of this remaster job have created a drastic improvement of the
quality of this recording.
